Frankengraphite

Post by TViz »

Hello everyone. Been a long time since I've posted. I've built an "what's old is new" RC10 black pan with all the fixin's and now decided to do a truck conversion. Kind of monster truck conversion. Purely for bashing. Quick parts list.
GPM aluminum arms
GT Aluminum Front Shock Tower
Graphite Rear Shock Tower (Still need to bolt on)
Traxxas Front and Rear Shocks (Still need to bolt on rears)
Altas steering turnbuckles (Thanks Atlas!)
GT Front Axles
GT MIP CVD's
RPM Stealth 2.65 conversion with slipper lockout (Might switch to B3 slipper assembly. It's in the mail)
HPI Superstar Wheels with old blackfoot tires
RC10 Graphite Chassis modified to fit RC10T front bulkhead
Running 5000mah 2s lipo with futaba servo and hobbywing 5T brushless motor
Proline Crowd Pleazer Body rattle can paint and a lot of hours with an exacto knife and mask.

Let me know what you guys think! I personally love the way it came out.

Thanks Reg. I was really happy with what I was able to do with the body. Especially since I don't have an airbrush or airbrush skills. I was planning on taking in out this weekend but we're supposed to get some wet snow/rain here in New York so will have to wait.

Doesn't seem like many others on the board like it too much! Oh well. I like it. Ha ha. Here's a few more pics.
