thats an interesting front end standard rc-10 bulkheads mounted closer together, are they mounted on a 10t nose plate or is it custom drilled.
the hinge pin mounting points look spaced out like a 10t/gt bulkhead that should give an awesome balance front to rear for oval. i have an original custom works rc-10 enforcer conversion i was going to do the same thing on to get it to turn in better for oval. yes i said rc-10 flat nose conversion not enforcer-10 its a rare custom works complete buggy conversion using rc-10 front and rear suspension.

sorry doug i dont have any pictures yet but there might be some on dirtoval if you can access the archives because i bought it from Tehachapi Flash over there last july it was in the classifieds. i have tried to get the photos off there but can't find them anymore, if you can get them go ahead and post them here i'm sure the guys will love it.

Nah, the previous owners liked to delete old Classified threads, so they don't go back real far anymore, unfortunately.



I've never seen or heard anything about a Custom Works conversion like that. I don't recall ever seeing Custom Works doing any conversions for any cars. I'm anxious to see what it looks like.

i actually have 2 of them 1 i got 3 years ago on ebay its just the cage,chassis plate, body and a few other odds and ends but the newest one is complete and ready to run. when i first saw it i figured it was a custom chassis but when it arrived and i saw the finished edges,clean countersinks and straight lines i was like wow this must be original. the first chassis is thinner black fiberglass withh a white core and the 2nd one is classic older style custom works graphite including the shock towers. they both have a flat nose with cheetah style 10 degree caster wedges under the front bulkheads. the way the front shock tower is designed the front part of the cage gets cut off and bolted to it similar to a big boys sprinter because the shocks and tower will not clear the cage. this allows it to retain all stock rc-10 geometry.
