Smile My mini 1/18 nod to the RC10

Wasn't sure which area to post this in, but figured it might be ok posting it here. I've always been obsessed with Vintage buggies, and mini's / micros. So Here's a project I did as a nod towards the RC10 in roughly 1/18 scale (probably more like 1/15 or 1/16). I have tried to make it appear vintage with details (gold anodised bits, stealth like gear cover, decals etc) and yet be buildable from all off the shelf parts. It has a mini slider graphite chassis, and is largely based around mini t bits, but with plently of MIP and lunsford bits as they are hop ups that were used when I used to run an RC10. Even the chassis has some TQ10 / RC10 graphite feel to it. The body is from the tamtech buggy champ 1/16. Shocks are xray M18T alloy items, thought the gold and green springs also looked a little vintage. Even used a GPM white derlin spur to look vintage ! Next project I'm working on is along similar lines, but as a mini Yokomo 870C / YZ10. Please let me know what you think ! Cheers.
