OK, I took some more pics this morning. Originally I thought I might be able to fabricate the front brace out of fiberglass or graphite, but with the way it mounts to the front shock tower I cant see how thats possible now.

I'll have to dig into my stuff that is not at home and I'm quite busy these days so it might take a bit of time, but don't have a spare front brace for sure.

It's a keeper!

you can fab that upper brace from a small peice of aluminum (bent to the proper angle, and then 2 pieces of g10 fiberglass with a few screws/nuts.

shouldn't be too hard.

I'm going to work on making a front brace for this thing soon. Can anyone who has a RPM rc10 make a trace out of the front brace, scan it and email it to me? This would save me a ton of time. PM me for my email address. Thanks!

I'd consider trading it for the right vintage Losi, but not really trying to sell it.

Unfortunately they do seem to take a while. I'm amazed how fast people finish stuff on here sometimes. My wife would kill me if I spent anymore money than what I already do on RC!

Sometimes it just takes awhile to find 'that' part you are lookin for. I'm waiting to see how yours comes out. There was one on ebay here last week or so but I lost track of it. Someday hope to have one of these for myself. Always wanted to see how they handled.
