Early TQ10 build (Chassis for now)

Post by Charlie don't surf »

Someone......tipped me off about an auction that had in the last pic what appeared to be an un-used early TQ10 chassis....low and behold, Jason was on the money. Spotless :shock: utterly amazing since I had never seen a new one until Eddie posted his awesome build.

Did you just get the chassis or did you get more of the car?

That chassis looks mint. I noticed a lovely TQ10 on Ebay right now by the way. Although I suspect your chassis is even tidier. The one I saw has a tiny feint scratch on it.

8) :)

long story short, someone bought a new tq10 kit, along with a new bbt vindicator chassis. it was never built as a buggy, which is the reason for the mint chassis. the sprinter doesn't seem to be run much at all either. take note of the unmolested black motor plate. :wink:

All the plastics on the Sprint are pristine under the dirt/mold (chassis was the same way) so the sprint will get torn down and the TQ will be built essentially from there, adding 10-15 new parts to complete

Sprinter would look good in all alloy parts :wink:

Thought I'd start tearing down the Sprint car for the TQ parts.

Thing of beauty...a crazy rare TQ10 motor plate 8)

of course, its easy enough to just use a stealth plate- but since this was here...all the better :lol: the shocks were pristine (except the two front caps) so that saves some trouble
