He he, superb!! I was after something from MIP and ended up emailing Eustace (if memory serves me correctly) himself, really nice (i know not rpm but cs are exceptional in the us) and youll probably get a nice reply back from RPM as their customer services are superb, dont forget rc in the US is a billion dollar industry compared to our 100 grand industry. Its possible they have a massive call centre just like Tower Hobbies do, didnt believe it until I saw a picture, its insane.

Stunning as ever Mark!

It looks great with that body/paint scheme against all the white RPM parts... off road buggies just don't this good anymore!

Out of interest - how did you clean all the white parts in the end... the usual washing-up liquid & a toothbrush?

Thanks lads for all the kind comments......

Dan,

Yes just washing up liquid. Pour washing up liquid into plastic tub. Pour boiling hot water into the tub. I then smudge washing up liquid onto the parts neat. Give good rub with fingers. Then put the parts into the tub.

Leave over night soaking.

Remove next day, then more washing up liquid onto the parts. I use tooth brush to rub over the parts. Tooth pic in hinge pin holes, Then rinse with cold water.

WHAM BAM, Have it !!! WHITE BITS..........

Awesome, I had the 91 worlds conversion on my tub rc10. Funny that I had the fluorescent pink tub but kept the plastic white.

Totally agree, the RPM front and rear totally transformed the rc10 tub as well.

I need to keep on the lookout for one of these, I would love to re create my buggy. I had a Stealth team car with the full conversion and ran the same Losi body.

Well Welshy40,

You could not have been more correct.

Absolutely fantastic reply from RPM. Mr Richard Royall (RPM HIMSELF) Sent me a personal email. Stating it was better than the one they had

He also sent me some nice RPM Goodies for my next RPM build.
Stuff you just cant buy....... AWESOME !!!!

Default Fantastic Restoration of you RPM Hybriid!

Just hope mine is half as good as yours once I give it a clean up and a few new parts! I have some blue traxxas trx1 shocks to go on it, which should look great!
