Not a whole lot going on with this at the moment. Once the tub gets back here it should go rather quick. But in the meantime, the plain "classic" nose tubes showed up, as did the rear camber links (which I quickly stripped), and a couple pieces from Pargu. Jeff sent me a couple pairs of the A&L wing mounts a few weeks ago. But, I did not know that Pargu actually made the lightweight yoke wing mounts. They're kinda pricey, but since I had to buy a pack of the wing buttons anyway, I splurged on them.
This one will take a little while since I'm lacking quite a lot of parts. Starting off with a bunch of parts I have left from all of these rere kits I've been throwing together.
So this one is going to be a modernized replica of Masami's car that...

It's interesting that the Masami 1993 car looks like a trimmed and tweaked production car and the earlier 1989 and 1991 are basically specialty prototypes.
The trick item for the 93 Worlds seems to have been the milled tub. Some guys had them,...
Sooooooo, when you get 3 of the kits and none of them are being built stock, you tend to have a lot of parts left over. And of course, you just have to do something with them. :lol:
I finished 2nd yesterday in the classic class with my Tamiya Manta Ray. Had a great battle for the lead, but caught the pipe with like 40-45 sec left and couldn't catch back up. I'll update that build thread later.
This should be my last Worlds build. Should..... :lol:
So, this one is going to be a modern replica of the rc10 Mark Pavidis used to win the '95 Reedy International race. Since I am starting off with a new kit, I probably won't take all that long...

Very very nice work, i like the nose plate. Looks very smooth.
On this car we can see lots of knowledge and effort.
:D
I had plans to build up another B1.5 for next year's race. But A-main Hobbies was blowing out Worlds kits last week, and with the coupon codes on top of it, I could not pass up buying one. It'll be so much cheaper for me in the long run. So I got...

Ahh, I do that all the time... waste money on stuff that I thought would work and it doesn't or it's a part that I already have!
i've wanted one of these freakin' things since they came out. when i started racing in '91, i had to get a junior-t since that was what i could afford at that time. it worked out for the best though, since i mopped the floor with every 5 link jrxt i...

Very cool to end up with that sticker, amazing how things do end up. Looks great on there.
This is another replica i've been thinking about tackling. I only have a couple images of it, so without some better pics surfacing, i don't know how accurate it will be. A lot can be told just from the ones I have, and the rcca race stats will help...

I just got the RC Car action magazine last night in a Lot with this car. Well done!
Highlights:
-Custom graphite chassis with 3 forward and 4 rear battery slots.
-MIP SP1 transmission
-Andy's suspension arms (3 white + 1 black :!: )
-Yoke shocks in the rear...

Found some more pics on The Hirosaka R/C Legends site:
Looks like a different version of the car...chassis is narrower, all 4 arms are white, wheels and wings are changed, and it's got a Yoke under tray. The couple of body on pics don't show...
First of all I would like to warmly thank Jake and Nikki for their awesome research and very dedicated work and telented craftmanship that made this (and many others) build thread possible. Like mentioned earlier, you guys are costing...

That race was awesome where Kyle Reed took the win from Masami.
