    Yay. I despise yellow wheels. And paint? No way Jose

    Until I can buy it, I pay no heed to upcoming releases.

    +1 for alternate colors

    That would do me more harm than good

    I had a set of those rims in chrome years ago. Flaked like mad. No more. White or black only

    Least I'm not the only one

    My buddy got the itch to build an original rc10 shelf queen. Then the re re cars hit the market and he lost all interest. I bought his stash. Just waiting for him to find all the parts and send them. Still remember the magazine ads with Jay Halsey and the "full size" rc10. Good luck with the build

    I've been using those rims on 2.2 trucks since oh, 1993. Love them

    For a long term build, I'd search and search for the right body. For this buildoff, I'm keeping it simple.

    Thicker means less detail

    So many ideas, so many bodies that simply don't exist.

    Right now I'm looking at a $400+ build. I'll get it running and go from there.

    For those who are considering dropping out, please reconsider. Just a simple Google search for "movie cars" can bring up images of things you never thought of. Charger from Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry, semi from Big Trouble in Little China, load of choices from all the Cannonball Run movies and clones. Cheech's Impala from Up in Smoke. Jeff Spicoli's VW van from Fast Times: just paint a Tamiya wheelie bus red and yellow and put a smoke machine inside.

    I like the rules. It'd be hard to be more specific without getting draconian. Since this is a very friendly site, I'm sure we'll all be fine.

    Thanks for the input. I'll be locking the diff for sure. My project is based on an overpowered 2wd hot rod pickup, that is then modified for other nefarious activities. Destruction and ill handling are actually requirements of this build.

    Looks like I'll be using a long wheelbase CC-01 for my winter buildoff ride. A major consideration is power. I'll be converting it to rwd only, and I need to overpower it a pretty decent amount. I'm not talking 6s or anything, but I do want to go brushless, and it's gotta be fast. How hard can I push a CC-01 before I destroy it?

    I just finally decided last night. I may be able to pull it off, maybe not. But I'm gonna try. I'm also curious about what Crispy asked.

    Fantastic. Since I don't plan on winning...
  19. emory70
    Oh. Well, I was assuming that it was Tamiya kit based only.

    Looking for advice on my idea. My current two choices both require a solid axle rwd chassis. I'm not sure what Tamiya chassis I should start with. Without giving away my ideas, I'm looking to build in a classic American hot rod/drag race style. I don't think a hornet/lunchbox rear will work. the Hi Lift is just to industrial, and I don't think the cc-01 will work as rwd only. The easiest would be an rc4wd trail stomper, but since that's not a Tamiya...

    I thought I had a brilliant idea, a Cannonball Run ambulance, out of a lunchbox, obviously. Then I saw there's a seller on ebay making perfect decal sheets for it. Just too easy for a buildoff.

    When I talked my mom into getting me an rc, there were three at the lhs. Clodbuster, Blackfoot, and Monster Beetle. Clod was too expensive I wasn't a Ford guy My family had been into VWs since 1962

    Fingers to start, needlenose to finish. And keep spares handy

    Had an idea the other day of building a tailgater. Some kind of vehicle with a video screen in the back. A "movie" car.

    Keep coming up with either "too easy" and "yeah, I'm not doing that much work"
