  1. Need to build that graphite! That's very iconic!
  2. Looks like some of my links are wonky, I'll fix. Yeah I never liked the gold, too blingy and NJ for me, and I'm from NJ! I didn't just want to do another worlds either. The team car has a nice contrast and I love it!!
  3. Back where she belongsā€¦.. https://i.postimg.cc/W12NCQZd/IMG-20240209-185559848.jpg[/img][/url] I love the look of the Jconcepts chassis brace, serves a purpose as well. https://i.postimg.cc/k5GnXKf9/IMG-20240209-185954592.jpg[/img][/url] Looking good!!
  4. Very nice build! Thank you for the share!
  5. NEW EVO and New Egress are not fragile as the plastics are new. 10 years from now, sure. Right now, no. Both would be fun. EVO would be more competitive DBO1 would be the best and is still modern enough to fight for wins at the club level.
  6. Oh for sure, no autos! I am looking into the feasibility of using the Porsche Boxster trans. Apparently some have used it in their GT40s.
  7. I think Super lite and RCR which make very high quality cars. I REALY want to build a GT40 type car, BUT the mid engine special trans make the builds very pricey.
  8. Yep, I'm in America! Currently looking at FFR FIA 289, 65 Coupe, and ERAs 289. The ERA has higher resale, but the FFRs are easier to work on and both are near 1:1 replicas of the real deal. The ERA gets the nod for authentism due to its Jag rear, but the FFRs S550 independent rear is good too ....hmmmmmm
  9. With life, an amaizng family, and work I find that I build and drive RC less and less. My son and I will drive the cars a few time out of the year but not enough to justify the size of my collection. Im thinking about jumping in with two feet into the world of kit cars. Ive got Ford 289 in the garage torn down and IM right now looking into 289 FIA Cobra or Daytona kits. I really want to go a GT40 but the mid engine trans adds huge cost to the kits. Anyway, have any of you gone the first size kit car route?
  10. Fun but the build goes too quickly! Very simple car. Ill be order (2) Just stock Brushless systems. One for this and one for my Astute. I plan on running a comparison series of the RC10 against some Tamiya stuff! Anyway back to the build. First up lets split that Stealth open and see how it looks.... Looks brand new. Case and spare motor plate I had on, as well as the modern slipper. And some Jconcepts goodies. A graphite trans brace as the stock one was known to flex ALOT, and a nice set of turbuckles.
  11. It was a great weekend, I hope you all had a good one too. I spent some time on the team car, man its looking good!!! The foundation is a left over C marked team chassis from my worlds car build a few years ago. Im still waiting for some hardware, I hate building shocks, and because of that shocks are up first. I'm building this as how I think it would look if AE did a rere of the team car. These NOS World Car rere shocks will contribute to that flavor. Green slime, and seals assembled similarly to Tamiya shocks. ....and shocks ready to go The white parts have turned out very nice, here is a rear arm ready to go onto the chassis upload and share your photos Some goodies have arrived!!! Im pleased with the whitening result, espescially those wide white front arms that are pretty rare. These days the only thing that I can find are over priced RPM arms, 3d prints, or black arms. The car is looking very good already, black chassis, white arms, and white shock towers look very good. The Jconcepts stuff is so nice, I love this steering. Thank you Jconcepts for supporting the vintage hobby!
  12. I couldn't save the majority of the ball studs, build will start with the shocks, mounting of the suspension arms etc that don't require the ball studs. Update shortly!
  13. I was out of RC by time the world's came out originally. Girls and real cars had stolen my attention. The graphite was the last RC10 that I remember from my childhood. A graphite rere would be amazing.
  14. Ive soaked the "white" parts for three days now in 6% peroxide. I think they came out pretty good. In the mason Jar Comparing the untreated battery box, with the parts treated for three days.
  15. Id just do it, they are getting harded and harder to find, BUT theres a strong chance that AE is bringing out some kind of Gen1 this year other then the Clear one.
