Composite Craft had a "team" chassis set for both buggy and truck. They also had a truck set similar to their "RPM Worlds" version.

Who do you race for ?
Me……. I race for me.
That’s impossible, I was told you need a sponsor to race.
Hey Cru ! Go balls out

And here’s one of the slickest builds around, one of Lavigna’s RC10T “Worlds” chassis.

Re: Fixing up the Frankentruck(s), the fleet of them
I've got to think a little about that. I'm not sure I care much for that top plate.

Re: Fixing up the Frankentruck(s), the fleet of them
I'm going with my coffin style chassis for now. I like the blue nose plate and have another truck that might make use of this Composite Craft chassis, after I fill the one extra hole it has.

Re: Fixing up the Frankentruck(s), the fleet of them
When I use buggy bellcranks on a truck, I still mount them to the foreword holes. I just use three 1/4" long screws to attach the nose plate.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.

Re: Fixing up the Frankentruck(s), the fleet of them
It seems ok with these RPS bellcranks using the truck bellcrank position. For now I'm satisfied with the setup. It's only the first day of the week though.

Re: Fixing up the Frankentruck(s), the fleet of them
This has been gnawing at me so I went ahead and did some truck style longer bellcranks.

Re: Fixing up the Frankentruck(s), the fleet of them
For my brief trial, minimal difference. But that's just a little front yard driving.

Re: Fixing up the Frankentruck(s), the fleet of them
The Frankentruck lost its body to one of the EGTs. But it got an upgrade. The replacement was from a shelfer GT, but didn't quite work with the T3 rear shock tower. After a little trimming and the addition of a pair of carbon fiber RC10B4 hub towers for the shock attachment points, the body now fits well. It just needs a sticker job to finish it off.

And now all stickered up with rear spoiler added.

Re: Fixing up the Frankentruck(s), the fleet of them
Happy to now have some skinny fronts for my not-so-stock 10T.
