TOPIC:

I custom built these many moons ago with all the hop ups from Ranch Pit Shop in California. Cost me a fortune back then. They all have differential, special motor, longer and wider chassis and lexan bodies just to name a few. The bodies were custom painted myself. They are still in mint condition after all these years. I just gave them a tune up for the past summer.

This is a rare picture of a custom built from Ranch Pit Shop in their retail store and raceway back in the early eighties before it was sold to the Losi family. Those were the days.

First up is the Sand Scorcher.

Up next is the Rough Rider.

Those are some real beasts!
Thanks for the pictures.

I honestly don't think I've seen a SRB with this much hop-ups, ever.
They must be worth a lot today, even compared to the price you paid back then?

Now, if you just found a way to get the monoshock mechanism reproduced, you'll be my hero for eternity

Amazing customs. Nothing common with a stock SRB version

Wow! Just wow.

I have to ask - How old were you when you built these? These don't look like the work of a typical 80s teenager. The attention to detail is amazing.

I might do another template artwork for the monoshock system just like my butterfly chassis when I finish my Ford XLT which has a rear dual shock mount for two stock front shock with some other hop ups and a Ford 150 lexan body. I think I have the template artwork for the dual shock mount some where in my collection.

A template for the extended front shock towers would be very nice too
