Great idea! "Lighten" one side of the chassis.. that'll improve handling no end. :lol: :shock:

"As seen on ebay..."

"Good used condition, item shows normal scuffing to lower surfaces. Item has been machined to remove weight. Includes reinforcment rods"

As seen on Ebay lately...

quote of the auction: "Item: RC10 Pieces

Condition: Poor/Bad Every piece in this lot is in the condition you see it in, not all that great, but I have a hard time throwing things out. This was the beginning of a project that was going to see me build the ugliest RC10 around :lol: , but too many projects force the removal of this one.

Questions?: Feel free to drop me a line anytime."
