Interesting pictures from RC50 @IIC

Nashracer from Rc50.com posted up some pics of the Vegas race, and no one has picked up on this as far as I can tell, but is this a SpeedMerchant/HPI F10 in Bruce Carbone's pit? Looks like SpeedMerchant has made up a link conversion for the F10, with new pod plates and tube dampening...
Edit: looks like this was Scotty Ernst's ride for the race.

What about this partial Exotek F104?  Looks like there have been more than a few modifications to the base kit....
