RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

i reconditioned and painted this chassis, nose plate, and motor plate a couple years ago, with intentions of adding it as a runner-up prize to our rc10talk raffle team car that we had. it never happened. so, these parts have just been hanging from the rafters in my basement ever since. well, i've decided to just build it for myself.

i sprayed this with some dupont absolute purpleen prizm chromalusion paint that was leftover from a job i had at my work. it's not the easiest thing..... getting pics of all the color shades. but, it flip flops between bronze, blue, green and purple.
i'm not planning anything special with it........ no super duper rare parts or anything like that. just gonna put it together.

These pics are not a 1/10th of how cool this chassis looks in person, it's stunning

I know, that's why I'll take it. How much
Also any word on those RPS rims scr8p? Thanks.

i'm going to the shop tomorrow. i couldn't get there last week.

That's cool. This chassis and pieces shouldn't add much weight to the package. . PM sent.

I almost could have talked him out of it 7 mo ago , but I hope he builds it

i'm not saying i would never sell it, but i highly doubt i would.

now in the event i decided to let it go, whoever wants it will be glad that i didn't have to pay for the paint. that dupont chromalusion costs over $400 per pint. there's about $200 worth of primer/paint of those 3 pieces. add on a fair price for the parts themselves, and what i feel my time/effort was worth, it wouldn't be all that cheap.

Nice work Jason. I remember a while back I wanted some Chromalusion and I got a quote of $65 an ounce. So, that idea got squashed real fast.

another thing with the chromalusion, it's best to spray it over black. it helps the colors to flop better. now, black doesn't cost all that much. but it's still an added cost, on TOP of the rediculous price of the chromalusion.

cool

Wow Jason - that is really nice - the man can paint!

That chassis does look great. But if it is worth that much, you should just hold on to it because it's pretty much guaranteed to be a one of a kind for the rest of time...

Ya you should keep it as a shelf queen. That is one sexy chassis.

Sweet, my buddy had a crx a few years ago that was painted that same color when it hit the gold color it looked wicked. I had to go dig this one out of the vault, got it a few years ago in a lot, flips from blue, green, purple, pics don't really show it too well. A shame someone went ahead and ran it and gouged it up some, it was a pretty good paint job, even the shock bodies.
