What do you see. Potential project for daily driver.

Post by twinrider1 »

Could all you experienced folks take a look at this. I think it's going to be my father/son project chassis. I'm new to RC so I want to make sure we're not thrashing anything that should be preserved.

Is that a factory chassis or homemade? I found no markings.
Use will be asphalt and a baseball dirt infield. Maybe some little improvised jumps, occasional trip to the local track, but I'm not trying to launch it 10' in the air.
So far I've pulled the MIP transmission. Does anything else look like it should be shelved?
(If you need pics of particular areas, let me know)

Thanks!

Do homework...those rear shocks go on your early RC10. This car is pretty well a vintage snapshot, but you have parts swapped on all the cars you have shown. DO HOMEWORK. You have some cool stuff with parts mixed around. Don't just assume everything is where it's supposed to be right now.

The chassis and roll cage looks really cool, but I don't know of any bodies that would be easily mounted. In my opinion, you should swap out the chassis for a stock one, research all the other parts that look aftermarket, and get to cleaning!
Almost all my posts will be edited because I know what I want to write, but my fingers always hit the wrong keys.
