What body, what wheels and tyres and more importantly a photo with the original Hotwheels car sat on the back 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bromley 681 Posted January 15, 2019 This one at a guess... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SupraChrgd82 1425 Posted January 15, 2019 That's the one, Bromley! It's a "collector" Hot Wheels now, so I can't see spending upwards of $20 for the die cast car. It was cold and raining on Saturday when I painted, so the blue bled into the yellow stripe. I should have waited until it was above 70 degrees to paint. I can live with it since this one is the basher/crawler. The other scale rigs have pristine paint. Parts list; Axial Raw Builder's Kit Reef's servo Mamba 2850 brushless ProLine SR5 body Scalerfab bumpers Wertymade sliders Gearhead 6 shooter LED bar Gmade XD Diaphragm shocks 85mm, soft rear springs Jazzrider alum shock mounts, trans plate, bumper mounts Hot Racing red balls Integy LCG carbon fiber front battery mount & bumper mount servo Unbranded 1.9 alum wheels ProLine BF Goodrich All Terrain G8 tires alum 7mm clamping hexes stainless pumpkin guards stainless screws Robinson 17t pinion 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SupraChrgd82 1425 Posted September 15, 2019 SCX10 II build with a Mamba and 2-speed trans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SupraChrgd82 1425 Posted January 5, 2020 I always loved the Kyosho Chevy 4x4 from the early 80's, so I made an SCX10 mud truck in it's livery to have a runner rig for the wet winter season. This one has all the electronics sealed up tight (Savox 1210, AE-5, Tamiya CR-tuned, silica-gel in the RC box) to stay reliable in creek runs. I found that the Mamba brushless ESC I use in other rigs gets wonky when the sensor wire is wet, so this one has basic electronics. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACCEL 2014 Posted February 25, 2020 Those are not Hot Wheels or they would be melted, Those are BAD A$$ Wheels and they look like they can roll Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SupraChrgd82 1425 Posted April 17, 2020 Just finished painting, now to cut holes for the body posts. The SEMA drift Tacoma was inspiration for the paint. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SupraChrgd82 1425 Posted May 11, 2020 With the extra time lockdown brings, I thought I'd update this thread to post pics of some of my other RC's; This is the newest project - a full option M08. I'm still awaiting more TRF and YR parts and a Ghia body in the mail. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like a lot some of your bodies there. The Chevy homage looks very nice. Those tires look good! Also, that Sidewinder...ohhh... that one sure looks gorgeous! More pictures of that one would not hurt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's parts from Option House, Pargu, Rogue Element, Team Blue Groove, RC4WD (1.5 tires), and several more I forgot. The only OEM part left is the gear box housing and 4 of the gears. Embarrassingly, I still haven't made the body mounts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mongoose1983 3335 Posted May 22, 2020 You did a superb job with that Sidewinder body. It's flawless! By the way, that looks more like a Tomahawk reissue to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
