RC10GT (holeshot chassis build)

[romulus22]

Starting with a low mileage put away wet black parts GT and a very clean Holeshot chassis, thanks Phin. Not going to get too crazy. Just going to put some hop-ups I already have into the build as I clean and freshen up the parts as they get swapped over.

Here’s what I’m working with.

Sounds like you are off to a good start.

Never saw a hole shot chassis before if you can believe that.

I love its symmetry.

haven’t decided if I should convert this build to diesel, or use a more flashy big head engine. Leaning toward saving the diesel for a more simple build.

A scan of those instructions would be awesome

That looks like a very cool chassis. I'm looking forward to this build. Thanks

I decided to buy a few parts so I’m waiting on them to start assembling clean parts so I’m slacking on cleaning anything. Just kind of categorizing what I want to use. So far this is what ready to assemble. Looks like I need to drill and countersink a couple holes in the chassis to utilize all the holes in the trans brace, or since it’s just a shelfer leave the chassis factory.

Recognize the pipe Alex?

I don’t have a PC/laptop/scanner. All I have is a phone with a camera on it. If the sizing makes this too ineligible I can email them to you RJ

HAHAHAHAHA

Yeah...brings back memories...of it being in a tool box for years...lol

Davis Diesel seemed an interesting move for power plant but i prefer the regular nitro route.

cant wait to see this one done!!!

Made some progress today. Can’t say I would recommend the eBay titanium screw kit for the GT. Somehow it feels like the screws are just not quite full 4-40. The 8-32 seemed fine, possibly just wore out nylon parts though. And my allen didn’t like to fit into the socket consistently for the small countersunk and button head stuff. Here’s a few pictures of how it sits until I get some more replacement parts.

Looks really nice.

That would be an ideal chassis to do a RC10T Mid electric conversion with. I like how it's symmetrical (almost). I am going to keep my eyes open for one of these chassis.

Couple steps closer to a complete truck. Need to track down a good condition tank or even just a good condition lid, rear body mount, and I’ll fab up a front bumper from some scraps.

[romulus22]

I figured I’m building something I normally wouldn’t build with this chassis, I might as well do something I wouldn’t normally do with The body. Just need to trim a little on the rear tower and pop some holes in it. That’s for tomorrow though.

[romulus22]

Shaved the rear tower so the body could sit down just a hair in the rear. Had to lean the top of the front shocks in. But it fits well enough for a shelf queen. I know I’m not supposed to like the modern stuff. But I do like the low slung stealth look this body gives the truck.
