You know they say misery enjoys company! No doubt, a ton of blood sweat and tears went into that build but awesome job man! I was worried that sirens were the police coming for you running that car on that beautiful baseball field!😂 If nothing else, it’s safe to say you completed a major RC engineering feet that very few people could see through. Very cool! I think that car deserves a spot on the top of your shelf… Or one of many😂
Happy Mother’s Day Wade! Congratulations for achieving this milestone! It looks really “blinged” with the white parts and the clear front case showing off those original diffs that you made, I really like your spring-tensioned belt design, it gives me an idea of using a mini 1/28 mono-shock , that will look like the rear suspension of an expensive mountain bike. Perhaps you could consider making a compilation video of your journey. With the re-re of the RC10, I reckon there would be a lot of new RC10 owners interested to see a video of all the compiled clips for the various parts.
It is a really cool thing you did Wade. Sometimes idea like this pop into you head and never leave until you get them done. I am just glad it actually all worked and it didn't turn out to be a flop, I have been down that road once or twice. I mean how many people can say they have a cherry condition 4wd RC10 gold pan buggy?? Great job sir, I tip my hat to your patience and diligence in getting it created!
Scored a home run with that build mate - did I hear you say you have a lathe? Or was it a milling machine? I guess you not meant to use a car there? Will you be putting decals on it?
Thank you! Ended up getting both a cnc mill and lathe, and a manual lathe in order to make a couple tiny parts - completely ridiculous way to go about it but I do use the manual lathe a lot glad to have it! The body does need more decals for sure I just might do that at some point 👍
