HI!... Well I picked this car up today for $40. I posted some pics of it over at RC10TALK.COM. The guys over there are really good a figuring parts/cars out. So apparently this is a ASCOT Challenger kit. Basically it's a Ascot roll cage and G10 chassis. Everything else is off a RC-10. So mine has the following :

- Ascot roll cage, chassis and headers.
- McCallister "Gambler" Sprint body/wing.
- 6 gear trans.
- Black RC-10 nose plate.
- Front bulkhead is RPM.
- Front arms are RPM Truck conversion arms.
- rc-10 Worlds rear arms.
- Red Wheels are from a Kyosho Sideways.
- Tires are MRC.
- Motor is a Trinity Speed Gems(12T).
- Tekin TRC 411P ESC.
- Futaba S3003 servo.
- RPM rear axle hubs.
- RC-10 hard anodized front shocks on all 4 wheels.

I've already contacted McCallister and they still make the "Gambler' body and wing. So I'll be ordering that soon. Think I'm going to run the Phoenix billet aluminum wheels I just got. Thinking all white body with bright orange accents to go with my vintage Parma "Hardee's" decal set. Might go a bright orange powder coat on the roll bar and front nose plate. I have some white RPM front/rear control arms I'll probably use. Debating if I'm going to run a 6 gear or a Stealth trans. I need to finish off a few more projects before digging into this one. Probably start collecting parts soon.

Nice score, especially if you're into RC10s

I bought something very similar on a whim, restored/customised it, lost interest very quickly, made it look a bit less extreme & sold it on having never driven it

I think I still have some pics if you're interested.

HI!... Sure J/R post them up.
