Chassis is in very good condition with almost no scratches on the bottom, the inside of the tub is a bit rough (previous owner used a very sticky tape to protect and isolate the battery, the glue is now so dry that I bet I'll have a hard time to take it off). The front end has some weird kind of white stuff on it, looks like some cyanocrylate glue. I also have 2 ComCom tub chassies and I must say that they are much more well finished than the Fusionspeed one (check the last pictures for comparison). Any suggestions to make it look like new and refresh it (sanding, lacker...)?
Here it is without the parts that I will most probably sell in a few days:

Good question Al, I never obtained a satisfactory answer to it though. What confuses me is that the header card indicates Fibre-Lyte with ComCom stickers that also came inside the package...

I am really toying with the idea of making my own (not trying to stir anything up with that statement). A friend at work here says he has done it before. I just need to bring mine in to show him and then make the time.
Looks good David (as usual)!

you should know by now....... some things are better left unsaid. i can already see guys placing their orders.
too bad about the inside of that tub, david. the fusion tubs are very porous, so i don't know how well that gonna clean up. all you can do is go at it and see what happens.
i still think you got a good deal on it though. it looks structurally sound with no extra holes. even if it does come out perfect, you should be able to hide the flaws pretty well.
Jay: I don't think it's really difficult to make those, you just need raw materials and some moulding skills/knowledge
Jason: what would you do with the tub to clean it? I'll try to take that odd dried glue off with white spirit or WD40 and I was thinking about trying to gently sand the nose end and maybe apply a lacker?

smartie pants.....
i'd try to soak the glue spots up with so acetone or ligther fluid.... something like that. once the majority of it's gone, use a stiff bristle brush to try to work the glue out of the pores of the chassis. another thing you could do is shave the big stuff off with a razor blade first, then go at it with chemicals to soften up what's left. once you get it cleaned up as best you can, sand the entire chassis, and give it a quick coat of satin clear.
hey guys i have this rc10gt tub thats pretty cool. it was my first rc getting back into the hobby, now the only stock parts are the rear bumper, front block carriers, chassis, and tranny case, slipper/brake. everything else is aftermarket even all...

looks good, but needs more blue, and more RPM 8)
A mip stinger setup would be perfect on there too.
A project geared towards dreams of racing... It will be almost all black parts (aside from shock towers and front a-arm mounts). nothing will be dyed. Andy's arms in the rear, RPM arms in the front (more shock mounting holes than Andy's). im not...

Nice project Gamma. I liked it with the gold nose peice though. I really like the shock color scheme you got. Too bad those springs are red.
Hey guys I have been a stranger the past several months and things have really been hectic for me. I managed to keep in touch with most but some of you definitely got left out and I apologize. I am turning things around slowly and hope to be more...

Looks like the kits are available! Just saw the post on Facebook.
I currently got my T3 out of storage and am trying to update it to run at the local track and be somewhat competitive. The truck is the Team Kit so it had most of the upgrades included. I purchased new ball cups and aluminum front axles, and...

Nice spot alien, makes sense to keep the spurs etc the same... :D
Well the process is going slow, I almost have all the parts except wheels and tires. Chasis isn't done yet and I still need a body. I am about ready to try stripping the paint since I keep getting outbid on bodies. Anyway this is what I have built...

Chasis is now powder coated, won't be long now. Still waiting on some money and more parts. almost done. I will post finished truck with its new name.
This probably the most significant historical update of the site ever.
Mainly contained within the HISTORY section. New galleries of pictures of stuff never seen by most outside of Team Losi. I have no doubt it will bring up many questions. Some I...
