Thought these pics deserved a thread of their own.

The chassis after a dunk in the sink




Front arms are "Andy's" - is that good??


Shoe box of spares


Wheels, wheels, wheels...

Motors:


Nice period ESC:


Tx (battery cover present and battery terminals only slightly corroded)


Sierra shell is very good


RC10 shell is not damaged, but don't like the colours

Anyone recognise this?



The car came from the North-East (UK), if that helps.

Looks a lot more "vintage" with the correct wheels and shock towers:



The "Andy's" front arms are wider than the standard ones and look a bit silly with the skinny tyres. I have the standard arms in the spares, so I might put those back on.

HI!... Nice car to start with. The chassis has quite a bit of extra holes drilled in it. That devalues it quite a bit. The shocks are not original. Can't tell by the pics but does it have a stealth trans in it? Is it a A or B chassis?

It's an A chassis with a six-gear trans with the external diff.



The stealth trans refers to the 3 gear one - am I right?

I know it is never going to be a concours shelf queen, but I hope to be able to make something respectable that I can run now and again without worrying about it too much.

Someone on the RC10 forum reckons the shocks are from a Schumacher Cat. Would make sense as Schumacher parts are probably easier to find in the UK than AE parts.

Looking on ebay.com, I am pleasantly surprised by the cost of AE parts in the US (compared to equivalent Tamiya bits for example), however shipping costs more than remove any difference

I had a measure and the Sierra shell will fit my Mardave Cobra chassis, which I think would be rather cool...

Can anyone suggest where I might get a rally car interior?
