Default RC10DS - Martini Porsche 911

A while back i purchased a Tamiya Martini Porsche 911 body kit and put it away for a future build. I decided to finally start the build a few days before Christmas. The donor parts came from a crashed carbon chassis mustang DS car i had laying around.

I started with a "B" stamped Emerald Green anodized chassis, nose plate and nose tubes. I scored this anodized beauty on ebay from Don Martin a while back and had been saving it for a future build.





Blue GPM suspension arms & Carbon Fiber Shock Tower




Front Stabilizer


NTC3 Rear 12mm Hexes


Front end suspension attached to nose plate


Nose plate attached to the chassis




The rear



MIP CVD's will be used



The intended wheels were the HPI Porsche set but they proved to small for this project. They were made for a different line. I ended up getting a set by Tamiya in red. On both sets i painted the inner wheel black






See the difference?


oh but they looked so good...



but they were too small


The Tamiya body is mounted, prepped and ready for paint....







Tight Lines...thats how i roll



Decals On...

Of course i managed to place the eight upside down ....it was too late to remove


Front end bumper and mounts. Body mount were positioned different than stock to accomadate the body



Powered by Castle Creations Sidewainder 3 brushless non sensored setup. 4 pole



The front end is a joy to look at..reminds me of a dragon fly



transmission end cups polished


The Rear is end is solid and mean






Side View mirrors on...



My RC10DS Porsche Carrera Martini

Good looking build. What did you use for a transmission? When I had my RC10B3 and put a brushless 7500 Castle motor in it a melted the tranny gears twice. It was great pulled wheelies on command.

The front end axle and c-hub are from the associated sc10. they come with a 12mm hex.

For the rear you can use the NTC3 hex. they have different widths.

The aluminum Arms are GPM products.

Awesome build. One of those "simple yet elegant" cars I'd love to attempt. With the motor hanging off the back end I'm guessing it drives like the real thing?

Thanks! Should you attempt a DS build. i must warn you...its addicting.
You got that right, its a lovely thing to hit brakes and swing that rear engine around.

I hear you. Finding the time is hard...back in the day(26 years ago) i could build a kit in a day....Now i build a little each day and it can take me weeks. If working with a discontinued kit then you factor in the time it takes to find parts.
