RC 10 Based Sprint Car
This is a project that is almost finished. I picked this up in a nice big lot a couple summers ago. It had all the old RC 10 parts with Ascot Sprint Car conversion and a couple Big Boy Toys accessories. I tore it all down and started with removing the ' gold ' from the shocks and polished them up with some Mothers rubbing compound. I then took some nip, Hot Trick Stuff front and rear arms, and shock mount, and replaced the stock ones. Picked up a body, and for a novice, I think it turned out all right; just used some fluorescent blue and yellow, and blended it all together. I was not sure how to route the antenna, so I ran it through a tube, and zip stripped it to the underside of one of the nerf bars.....Have not decided if it will stay like that or not. MIP gearbox moves this sucker, and I have ran it one time, and that is another story in itself, but in a nutshell, it involved a school parking lot in the dark, and some idiot soccer mom hauling you know what right through the area I was running. The damn thing miraculously developed a glitch while it was making the run for its life, and ended up with a crushed wheel, which was easily replaced. I considered myself lucky! Anyways, I have to paint the little guy that sits in the cockpit area and find a top spoiler/wing. I picked up a nos Parma front wing from my good friend Ottaviano, and have to attach that as well. I will include one pic after its total completion. I have a couple other Sprint Car projects on the back burner, and I just love the hell out of working on these things.
