My RC10

[Welshy40]

Well its been ongoing for a while and cost me a small fortune to do but as I did get the opportunity to race Masami I really wanted something to remind me. Its also been hard to do as no real chassis pictures exist so unsure exactly how he did his but using Brian Kinwald, Cliff Letts and other team drivers chassis pictures came up with this.

So minus the shell, undertray, wing, wing buttons, cut down TH1 wheel hubs (being made), ko fet choke wiring and pinion it will be when finished an pretty close replica.

Motor was made and worked on at a tc national in the USA by Mike Reedy and would gather it made the A so adds a bit more class to this, esc has been supplied by a previous national winner, servo was sold by Kevin Moore on to someone im aquainted with so cars got a bit more history added. KO receiver with a handmade case.

Hope you like what you see.

Very nice!

Looking good James. You need the little Masami sticker on the front tower, and how close a replica are you creating are you going to break the top deck?

Stickers im going to get done, have a contact so will see what he can do from the pictures of Masami's shell and towers. Well everything else is spot on including the screws, like the wing mount holder screw. No chance am i going to break that. Cheers for sourcing me the layshaft.

[Welshy40]

[DanB4]

Woah!

I need to repro the little Masami characature!

[Welshy40]

Ok, ive done almost everything, just a couple of stickers missing and one item required to finish the chassis off.

[xfactor]

One word..............AWESOME !!! :thumbsup:

[Peakey]

Looks brilliant James, you just need some pink wheels to finish it off :thumbsup: Have you seen the alloy chassis that Jake is doing for the 91 :drool: might have to get one after my 10M

Justin, cheers mate,no wasnt aware. Im not running mine, just keeping it to remember the four races I had against the master. Got the pink covers, Yokomo on mine but will get some sticky taped magnets and do on the inner back of the wheels and magnetise on the front so can remove as and when I want. Besides im going to get my B2 sorted in 4wd format, got to think on how im going to do it but intend on keeping the front kick up plate and the A front brace. Already got the pulleys and gearbox shafts, just need another rear gearbox casing and diff to get my designing ideas.

Just managed to buy a ko285a receiver so now have the correct one for this. Typical after getting it turns out the one ive got is possibly what he used so have this for maybe another project, also got my hands on brand new in packet copper coloured wing buttons so only one more item to get and its done completely, a replica using real parts other than the 3d items.

Guys, youll never guess whats just hit the shelves in WHSmith's, Racer with three pages of my car :thumbsup:

[xfactor]

[Welshy40]

Same pics as on here. I will in a month as they have been good to me plus I know the guys who own and write so bought a lot of copies for me. :p but if in whsmiths check it out and maybe you might buy a copy. Nice to be in the index also.

[Welshy40]

Ok, as mentioned earlier my car made the magazine recently and must add was a really good read so if you can get a copy buy it.

[Welshy40]

Its a hard one, cost me more to get the bits but would let it go for £800 in the UK, obviously with all the electrics :thumbsup:
