I started this RRC upgrade in 1982 and after many attempts finally starting to get somewhere today lol This is about the 20th time that I decided to make it look more scale or at least a scale looking silhouette. This thing is small and very hard to work with. I do not think anyone else would attempt a RRC conversion or even a on\off switch control "motorized" version.

I was running it today when I could no longer stand to look at the track road wheels because there was 1 to many per side. It is supposed to have 7 per side and it had 8 so...Tore it apart and eliminated 2 road wheels and then started the slow process of getting it back together.

ran out of time today and could not finish...well, it's like I tell my wife, they are never finished but it is looking better than it ever has.

Making some more progress on this old model. Got the front\rear body mounts sorted out with adjustable track stance so it can be tuned after it is running as just a little tweak can make all the difference in how well it tracks.

Also did some work on the front wheels as I want a more stock look. The problem is this model comes with plastic front wheels witch just does not work in a RRC model. The front wheels I have on the model are the correct height but lack detail in the hub area. I worked on the hub by filling it down and shaping it like a hubcap.

I finally got to test this model and it runs amazingly good and will run even better with a HG radio. In the meanwhile, I am having fun running it as is and will post a video of it running asap. This model does have individual track motors and uses track steering mix with the front wheels.
