RPM Chassis Build

Post by mikedealer »

Ill have some pictures up in a few hours, but i got my RC10 RPM Black Molded Chassis in the mail today, only ran once it looks like, real shelf queen, just replacing some rusty screws right now.

On the RPM From Bulkhead, there are 2 cutouts, are they for a sway bar? or something else? ill post a picture like a said shortly, but wondering what they are now that im looking at them.

looks pretty nice. i don't think the stock rc10 tie rod lengths will work, but i haven't put any on mine yet so i could be wrong. but here they are:

steering - 2.06"
fr. camber - 1.65"
rr camber - 1.25"
centerlink - 1.00"

I am a white fan man but have to stick with Ferretti on this one. The whole chassis thing being white looks awesome but the black is just plain BAAAAADD. Can't wait to see more.
He's an idiot. Comes from upbringing. His parents are probably idiots too.
