Look what I found!

I forgot about my RC10T that I used parts from to build the Duratrax Conversion truck.

I going to restored it back, already ordered some new parts from Ebay. I know this chassis looks new but it isn't why all mine look in such good shape is I run them all with 3mm thick chassis protectant film , now that I'm no longer racing I remove them to expose the pristine chassis underneath, good for resale if you know what I mean. Just a tip if you plan to race yours and you want to protect your investment.

It's been awhile might be a composite craft chassis?

Thanks, Charlie. I can't seem to find the top plate, oh well it's one those on the back burner projects until one shows up on Ebay or I make one myself.
Hopefully someone here might have 1 for sale, always paypal ready.

I bought the same chassis without the top plate or standoffs years ago, so it's entirely possible you never had one. I always wondered what the extra holes behind the bellcrank holes were for.

the top plate and standoffs are a seperate purchase. Most people wanted the top plate.

Those came from my place of employment before I got laid off heatsink off some heavy duty diodes and FET's for switching power supplies I helped to design. I dug these out of the scrap pile trying to get maximum surface area I think they helped. I had to rework them to make them fit tight. Sorry Mcgyver stuff.
