Once you get that belly pan from ROH73(Best ones out there) you won't see anything anyway and it'll keep it nice and blue. I'm thinkin it looks great so far and can't wait to see a Losi guys spin on something blue 8) .

worked on it a little more, and ordered a bunch more parts. I put in the B4.1 slipper and the steering, polished the edges of the chassis.

I really love this RC10 but not haveing a stash of Rc10 parts makes building one of these cars a little on the expensive side. I have a body and undertray on the way, along with a bunch of nip parts:
RPM blue
RC10 T bumper
B4 gear cover
RC10 front cross brace
B4 blue shock bushings
B4 shock rebuild kit
and blue battery thumb screw set
B4 wheel set

Parts I still need to order

ASC1282 turnbuckles set
B4 CVD set
B4 front axle set asc1585

if you have any of these parts please let me know

are you going with Klien rear arms? If so, I think you need rear B44 CVD's, not B4.

Who cares its just a RC10 :lol: its not a Losi :lol: just kidding :lol: I might not you never know I might just put it on the shelf. I have built several RC10's over the years somehow they always end up on the for sale block? I must say I needed something else to build but at heart I am 100% a Losi guy. this is one cool Rc10 so my plan is to keep this one for my collection. I have always wanted a Blue chassis RC10. But I must say it has inspired my next Losi build 8)

with all those LOSI parts staring at them they were a little shy and didn't take as much as they should've... :wink:

With fiberglass the only way I've had success with dye is use the RIT liquid and keep it near boiling for a loonnnngggg period of time...and sometimes this still happens.
