We shall see...

I'm thinking fill the holes and do the faux CF paint job with a nice clear coat...

you could also try the carbon fiber laminate stuff.

kinda ot, but how do you determine partial or fully countersunk on a tq10?

it was sold to me as mint never ran. imagine my suprise...

temple can you tell by that pick what tq10 i got?

i dont mean to take the post ot.... well, maybe for a little while.

[scr8p]

on the early tq10's, the holes down the side where the battery cups would mount on a tub chassis were not countersunk. the later versions were countersunk.

man, where the hell was i when everybody all the sudden learned everything...

[markt311]

Apart from the holes...it's pretty clean.

Damn what a mess at the rear.. Yeah front looks like someone trying to make a Stealth II imitation. How many of those holes in the middle section are supposed to be there?

3 the one in the center and the two at the back Send it to Jason "the graphite doctor" and it will look like new

[templeofspeed]

Well, it would have looked like daddeo's car:

Not even holes for the servo...

[scr8p]

it definately has a lot more holes in it than mine did, but the overall condition is much better, imo.

these were the only holes i need to fill on mine, and i opted to add the servo mount holes. although i should have used a different chassis as a template. they're a little close.

I really wonder what the holes in your chassis were used for Scr8p, really strange locations

well, two of them were to set the steering bellcranks back. for what, i have no idea. the one between the bellcranks, again, no idea. the other four were for mounting the servo. why there's holes on both sides, not really sure.
