name that chassis
Posted: Thu Oct 21, 2010 7:10 am
Hey guys, this 'thing' arrived with the parts lot I just picked up from ebay - yeah the RC10 bug has hit me pretty hard. Any idea what this thing is? Looks to me like a chassis sheet cut into a custom onroad chassis. Total hack, but I guess a 14 year old did it, so I'll go easy on the criticism.
On top of that, the suspension geometry is totally screwed. Don't know if you can see it in the picture of the rear tower, but the shocks lean way forward and bind when they bottom out. Would this thing be any good for some on-road action? I mean, literally ridden on a road, not a carpet. I guess it's pretty valueless so I was thinking of turning it into a decent street runner. I have this ridiculous 7 turn motor I picked up in a motor lot that would go nicely, I think.
Can anyone shoot me a pic of the front shock tower / mount that I appear to be missing? Any ideas on where to go with this suspension geometry? I also have some beat up black-pans with the lot - would it be a better idea to just build a DS and can this chassis?
Thanks,
Dan
