SUBARU IMPREZA WRX-1/10 DRIFT

 

 Introduced on March 1, 1993, the Impreza was offered in either front-wheel drive(FWD) or all-wheel drive(AWD) versions and as a four-door sedan or five-door hatchback. According to a Motor Trend article written in March 1992 on page 26, the Impreza was initially to be called the Loyale. The Impreza, like many Subaru-built cars, was equipped with a flat engine, a distinguishing Subaru characteristic. 
 This is my version of the distinguished Subaru Impreza WRX :-)

IT'S UNFINISHED :-(. I JUST GOT THE CHASSIS FROM MY BOI IN NORTH CAROLINA. IT WAS IN GREAT SHAPE AND IT IS THE SAME BRAND OF RC I PREFER. I HAD SOME ALUMINUM PARTS LEFT OVER FROM MY OTHER CHASSIS PROJECTS, SO I DECIDED TO UPGRADE THIS ONE AS WELL. I ALMOST HAD ENOUGH TO COMPLETE IT WITH ALUMINUM PARTS, BUT THERE ARE A FEW MORE I NEED TO BUY. I ALSO HAVE TO GET A RECEIVER, TRANSMITTER, ESC AND BATTERY. SO THIS MOST LIKELY WILL BE MY PERSONAL DRIFT CAR, ONLY BECAUSE IT WILL TAKE A WHILE FOR ME TO COMPLETE IT. YOU KNOW I HAVE MY CRAWLER TO COMPLETE FIRST :-). A FRIEND OF MINE RECENTLY TOLD ME SOMETHING HE THOUGHT I SHOULD HEAR. HE SAID THAT I COLLECT TO MUCH AND I HAVE TO MANY PROJECTS GOING ON AT ONCE. I TOLD HIM IT'S ONLY BECAUSE I LOVE THE SPORT, LOL. THE SPORT OF RC :-). SO STAY TUNED AND KEEP THE RC  HOBBY ALIVE :-) 

LEADING THE CHARGE WITH 1/10 CHARGER BODY

 Sup my peoples! It is rare, but it is snowing here in Birmingham, AL. So I have a chance to post a few things I've been wanting you guys to see. You know I found myself in the 1/10 scale ;-}  As the old heads say, "my eyes are bigger than my stomach". Meaning, I want everything I see for them. I am also big on DIY or projects. So I've learned to be patient, creative, and more willing to try things. So I find great deals all across the great state of Alabama. Like this Charger :-)

 THE WHEELBASE IS 10¼ INCHES

 IT IS 17 INCHES LONG

 IT IS 7¼ INCHES WIDE

 IT HAS A FRESH PAINT JOB

 IT HAS FRONT LIGHT BUCKETS

 IT HAS REAR LIGHT BUCKETS

1/10 SCALE-VERY DETAILED-H2 HUMMER CRAWLER BODY-YELLOW

This is the Hummer body I mentioned in the VW Bug post. I am going to mount this on the Duratrax Baja Bug chassis, until I get everything for my Axial SCX10. This body is detailed with everything from the wipers to the trailer hitch, from the light guards to the door handles. And 95% of everything can be unscrewed or unglued for that professional paint job :-). It weighs only .60kg (lb 6oz). The Duratrax VW Baja Bug body weighs .15kg (6oz). So it does weigh more than the average lexan truck body, but it is so much more durable. I have some of the most important extras to me. Such as the lights, winch and motor. The ESC is on the way. And most of the extra like the wood bundle, bungee cords, bed rolls, etc…, I am going the DYI route. At least on whatever i can :-). So enjoy the pics and keep remember to keep the hobby alive, DUECES!
