Here's a little teaser for my upcoming Worlds rerelease build. The car will be here tomorrow, but I still have a number of things to get before I'll be able to run it. Hoping to have it built and running by April. I'm building it to be a replica of what I ran back in 1994, which to no surprise I'm sure, was a partial replica of BK's 93 buggy. I ran some different electronics, but am collecting a number of vintage items at this point, so who knows where this will go.
I'll update this as things arrive, and the build begins.
So I went to town a bit today. What a blast getting to this point. Really reminded me of when I last built one in 94. I have a lot to do yet. Need to align the wheels, decide on the electronics, and then recondition them. I've gathered a nice little Novak collection, but I'm still holding out for a Hammer Pro, which is what I ran in 94. I haven't received the motor yet, which will be a Reedy Mr T's. I should have one of the two bodies that are being painted back soon.
Did some reconditioning to the Novak 410-HPc that I'm going to run in this build. Also mounted it and the Novak NER 2X in the chassis. Threw on some white wheels, and the body Todd did for me. I have a couple of stock motors, but I'm waiting for one of the Reedy Mr series motors I ordered to come in, as I want that to be the first one I run. Getting close!
Motor showed up today. This is in very good condition. I almost don't want to run it... almost . I probably won't bash it,but really do want to see what it's like. I have another modified motor on the way that will probably spend more time mounted.
So I had this all ready to run, motor broken in and installed, and ran into some serious glitching. Turns out the harness going to the receiver was pinched under the battery and got damaged. Removing the battery while plugged in made the problem better, but the damage was done. Now I have to open the HPC again to replace that harness
During this fiasco I also made the decision to go FM instead of AM, so I'm on the hunt for a Novak NER-3FM.

Novak XXL FM are easier to find, if that's an acceptable receiver.
I actually have an XXL, but those came out in 1999 I believe, which isn't period correct. I'm trying to keep the electronics to what was available and used in 1994. Thanks though!
The RC10 Worlds Car rerelease (especially NIB) has skyrocketed in terms of collectibility if one uses price as a good measure. 1200 and 2450 USD were the most recent sales for NIB kits on ebay. That's no joke...and I don't think it is going back...

I'm not surprised. As Gen X gets a little older, we're looking at the things from our past that we had, or wish we had, and are in a place to afford a little nostalgia. RC was huge in the 80's and 90's, so there's a bunch of us. The funny thing is,...
I installed these rerelease worlds CVAs on my championship edition and they appear to be a little short. During the first run it popped out like this. Does it look like they are not set up correctly? Are people successfully using the worlds CVAs on...

Looking at the first photo, my first thought was wow, I didn't realize how much Losi stuff it took to make an AE car work :lol: {zipping up flame-proof suit}
