Gold Pan Drag Car

My vintage rc habits have been put on hold all summer as I got more involved with the drag racing side of the hobby. I decided to combine the two, and this is the result.

Very very cool Mr. Basher.
37 years and going strong, the RC10 is still showing its versatility. I'm currently building an RC10-based monster truck.
BTW, a 1976 (or '78?) Ford Pinto was my sister's second car - her first new car. I still remember her receiving a recall letter to take the car back to the dealer so they could fit a metal plate behind the gas tank. There was something with the rear bumper that would puncture the tank during a rear-end collision and cause an explosion. :roll:

Your paint work is excellent - as always. 8)

Awesome work on that one, but possibly a missed opportunity on the paint scheme :mrgreen:

:lol: I remember that paint job. There was a drag car back in the day with a similar paint scheme.

I bought a RC10T chassis that looks like it was at one time a drag car.

I will definitely turn in back into a truck but I am a fan of your work.
