Here is an RC10 buggy that I am very fond of.

I purchased this many many years ago from our good friend Don, RIP buddy.

A few details, it has Andy's arms up front, RPM's on the back. Anodized chassis and such.

LRP Runner speed control and a Futaba S3003 servo. Thanks Don.

This is the Outlaw ll...highly modified Tamiya Bruiser...here is a build thread

Original Tamiya Midnight Pumkin (not rerelease)...ran hard for many years in early 2000s...set up on 10 cells and a trinity speed gems amber motor (long before days of brushless motors and lipo batteries). Clocked it at 48mph on gps. It was a handful and took a horrible crash. It was restored with all original parts from back in the day.

There's a morning pole pic joke here but I've matured... a little anyway.

After reading this, I'm a little let down that this Pumpkin isn't shown with 10 cells packed into it. I tried to do something similar with my Turbo Optima BITD but without any awesomeness like that. My poor Speedworks 427 motor gave up. It's center shaft started slipping, allowing the windings to rotate around the shaft.

Supercharged Nitro in a Bruiser ...... Job done

I have had my mouse clicking finger ready and waiting for the voting to start ever since you first posted that you acquired a Top Cat. What is this, an RC10 site or something?

The Top Cat will have to wait until I get my parts order. Supposedly the parts shipment has been out of Customs in Chicago since 2/28, but no further delivery progress. Some Customs guy in Chicago is enjoying MY pro transmission in his Top Cat.
