| 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...

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.

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?

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. | |
