Me too!

Any progress photos we can see yet?

I did some grinding, cutting and smoothing. i shot her with some black paint to see how coating might look --I left the side bead weld for strenth cuz im gonna run her hard next step is the chassis supports---Im kinda torn with running white or black arms [/img][/img]

Sorry Soncho, you were taking too long so I started my own

TOO bad we don't live closer to eachother (nice weld job) we could bash against eachother Where did you get the idea to do a chassis like that I LIKE IT.

Awesome stuff guys!


I can't wait until they're done....They've got to be WAY more durable than the real thing!

Neither one of those chassis' are gonna snap like a potato chip like the SC10's seems to be doing!

Like an old VW, you can't kill an old school pan based RC10.

It just just seems to keep evolving into something else.

Be great to have a class of these at the vintage nats What do u think they might call the class---its all vintage parts so its PRE 94---RIGHT BOYZ ERA CORRECT no matter how you look at it.

I Vaguely remember seeing someone trying to make a chassis like mine somewhere before , Thanks for the weld comment but what you cant really see tells the real story, it was horrible, there is soooo many hours into trying to get it flat after the welder jacked it up, plus a lot of jb weld as a filler, the bare spots in the underside show some of the high spots that I'm trying to knock down, but I plan on buying my own tig soon, so if this one works out , the next one will be much better. anyway, thanks for the idea - I hope you dont mind me copying.

P.S. , soncho, I'd love to see the white arms, I have a white tranny case but no other white parts and I figured the rpm stuff was cheaper and more durable so I stuck with black, but I think it would look much better with all white parts if you can.

YA i know lots of time. as you get one area flattened another tweeks out of place. the areas you think are the smoothest are the most uneven when you paint then file-sand to find high low spot. After i first started this chassis i was wishing i had done a dble deck G10 chassis. But we have Chassis no one has out there--YET--Im glad i stayed with this.

Little more work, chassis supports.[/img][/img]

man those are some really nice projects!! keep us posted!

Tuff to finish rc projects when you have this to work on[/img][/img]

nice lookin mustang...but who would go through all that work and then tape off the gascap ....J/K. Looks like you have your hands full...just ship either project off to me in Illinois here and I'll help out a little

Update, and question, I'm hoping the sc10 wheels will work with the stock 10t front axles and 10t rear mip cvd's, anyone have a set that they could test to let me know?

Anyway Heres some slow progress:

nice projects guys lots of work on those chassi waiting to see how it will handle on a track
