The shocks look to me like the ones off the MR4-bc special from a few years after the MX-4, they are similar to the later Bx and Bmax 4 shocks and were in use by Yokomo until the big bore shocks which were introduced on the later on the B-Max 2s and 4s. The car is beautiful.
@RubrixRacing5 ай бұрын
Outstanding and spot on; The shocks installed are MR4BC Special / MR4BX threaded shocks - The shocks at the 97 Worlds were Hard anodized AE (0.89 stoke fronts and 1.32 stroke rears with RC10T 1.56 shafts)

@@RubrixRacing Good info on the worlds shocks as I didn't know about the 1.56 shaft. I would love a kit, are you considering just offering the parts for sale in the future as a kit as I have a spare MX 4 I could convert.

I just got in some RC10 parts from them, I am really impressed with the parts! That is one impressive undertaking to even try and do that as a personal project much less for a short run production of them. I can do a lot of stuff but all of that is over my head! LOL! It is a super cool looking kit and I am sure it is even better looking in hand!

The goal will be to get as many as possible out there; this will be specially true with fast-tracking materials and kit parts. There will also be the introduction of the RRP RX4 Evo which will be a flavor of the 97' Worlds chassis but with modern era modernizations and upgrades for competitive racing.

Wow, who to thank 1st.. Massaki and Massami have done some awe inspiring work over the years and looking at these beautiful 98 buggies it really shows, design quality and level of detail of which must have taken months to achieve. Their RC genius made RC what it is today really because they won so many classes and teams wanted to catch up. Ruben is putting out some absolutely amazing quality kits, looking at what he's done in 23 were pure RC gems. Keith thanks for the in depth intel on these amazing people who have made our hobby so amazing 👍👍👍👍
