Well, you guys make it look easy. I don't mind chopping one in half but cutting down the sides looks like more work than I want to take on. I have one the previous owner cut down and swiss cheesed and it looks good but I would not do it myself.
He's an idiot. Comes from upbringing. His parents are probably idiots too.

OH SHOOT!!! THEY ARE HARDCORE RC10-PURISTS!!!
Haha!
Okay, not everybody likes the cutted down chassis. But I like it very much. The RC10 (cutted down chassis, or not) is the most beautiful RC-Car ever!
The chassis have now a little more flex and grip on slippery tracks. I also took a RC10T rear-shock-tower and a longer front-shock-tower (I don´t know, what company made this) to fit the RC10B4 shocks.
Cool RC10 community here!
Thanks, guys!

Hello there!
This day was track-day.
My RC10 was driving very good and fast. That was fun!
And, that´s funny, nobody from the track knows this car.
Here are some impressions from this day.
Next week I will be on a race here in Austria with this car.

Hi,
some germans here on the board! Nice!
Ja, ist schon möglich, dass Du schon etwas von mir gehört hast;)
This "drift-thing" is the HPI Drift Assist. It´s a gyro connected to the steering-servo. It helps to drive on slippery tracks. And it´s forbidden for races, because it works so good.
I will make a report of the race in the next weekend. That is very exciting. I drove my last 2WD-race 15 years ago. Haha!

Look out what you get: the original stuff (from late 90ies?) was to stop drifting I believe, the new stuff is made to get you drifting (in a controlled way).
Every RC-car magazine in Japan has a big part of its attention focused on drift races now.
I like the cut down chassis too.
I did the same with my boomerang when I was something like 16.
Yep lots of flex and grip on the street tracks, but then they put an artificial bumpy section , and whoop there went my central axle
Finally I replaced the cut down version by a bigwig tub.
For the german guys: Conrad rules!

Yeah, Conrad Electronic. Good place to buy electronic-stuff. Right!
I am back from the first race with my car.
It was a great race! 12th place after qualifying. And later 2nd place in the B-Final. Good result for me and my RC10. The car was great to handle! I could not believe it. So fast!
But I learned some lessons: Look at the pictures
