Wow, what a great looking build sir. That chassis set is gorgeous, I don't know if I'd be able to bring myself to drill it either.

Very nice!
Did you have to use a longer rear shock shaft with the Jammin rear tower? Is it taller than a standard tower?
Regarding the battery trays, You may concider mounting the single tray inline with bulkhead even though the holes are offset on that chassis. You could still mount (show) the Jammin battery brace in that configuration IIRC.
Becase it's offset it may be hard to actually fit a battery but I assume you're not driveing this car at all. Basiclly, I think the jammin battery brace will fit with the battery tray inline but a battery would be a little tight. The old 1200mah packs may fit with the offest tray. It has been a long since I tried to fit one however.

That's nice, I might be being a bit shallow by not fully appreciating the components but I just love blue with white

battery box + servo tape = no holes to drill

That is the best application of "Team Associated" stickers I have ever seen, really ties the car together.
I agree with Jason on the battery cup & motor plate
Beautiful Buggy

i have read over a lot of info on this forum, maybe i missed it. but why on earth did they make offset holes for the front battery cup for like 10 years before they fixed it ?!
but yes agree, very nice rc10 ! how you guys amass all these rare parts is beyond me

Don't think anyone has asked these yet.
1. Why weren't all the chassis holes underneath the original production RC10 chassis all countersunk? Especially, the battery cup mounting holes that go in line with the rear bulkhead.
2. Why were the battery cup holes (the ones in-line with the bulkhead) drilled off center?
Thanks much,
Jeff
Curtis Husting answers:
#1 Most people ran their batteries down the center of the car. This was the stock set-up. The car worked best on most tracks this way. The battery mount holes were countersunk in this position so most people would run this set-up. The other holes were not countersunk to help keep dirt from packing in the countersinks as well.
#2 The holes were drilled off center because the resister speed control and throttle servo could not fit with the batteries down the middle. We mounted the front battery box slightly off center to fit correctly.
