Mods are limited to RPM front arms, GT rear carriers, T3 slipper, and Vintage RC towers.

Electronic consists of Tekin esc and receiver, Futaba S132 servo, and a Reedy Tru Stock motor.

The body is a JConcepts Protector and reproduction AE wing. A single picture doesn't do the metallic color change paint justice, but here it is:

This is my RC10 FT on-road T4.

It started off as an original first version T4 RTR roller with carbon chassis, A-arms & shock towers and no body. I then added AE factory team blue aluminum rear 0* hubs, motor plate, shock bushings & front hinge pin brace. Along with threaded AE FT buggy shocks (front & rear) w/ red springs, titanium turnbuckles, rear sway bar and carbon fiber battery strap. Body is a pre-painted RC10T4 RS body.
Aftermarket mods consist of polished MIP CVD's; DE Racing front chassis brace; GPM blue aluminum front hubs, bulkhead, steering rack, bellcrank, servo mounts & rear A-arm mount; Integy blue aluminum rear chassis plate, motor guard & top chassis plate.
Currently has Jconcepts 2.2" buggy wheels (front & rear) and Duratrax Bandito tires.

Electronics are; ProTek 100SS servo, Futaba R203GF receiver, Hobbywing 1080 brushed ESC, and Reedy KR Krypton 10T double brushed motor (tested at 46,100 rpm at 7.2V with 12* timing).

In it's current configuration with a 26T pinion, 78T spur and 3.4" dia. tire, it's done 45mph with a 3300mah 2S lipo and is a handful to keep straight under throttle. It's a ton of fun in a large parking lot.

I had this car for quite a while. Last year I stripped it down to the chassis and completely rebuilt from there.

Go ahead and get your pics up.

If time has expired and you can no longer edit your original post, just make a new post and I'll delete the old one.

Poll is up, good luck!

Where did the speed run funny car go

Can only win BOTM once per year according to the rules.
But hope to see more of his cars.

I was wondering where it went too, but then remembered he won in Feb. The mix of 12 cells (!) with the Parma 27T stock motor would be quite a sight to see run in person, and the transparent body flames were an interesting touch.

There are still a bunch of cool entries this month. It started out with the first 5 voltes all being for trucks, but I see some buggy votes have been cast too.
