is there an aluminum bulk head available for the rc10?
what about other aluminum parts? looked on ebay but seeing alot of rc10gt stuff

Aluminum rear bulkhead, no. There have been some one-off made, do a search for askbob and check out his all metal build. If you do a metal bulkhead, be real careful putting batteries in

As far as the rest, we kinda crucified the last guy so I'm just gonna link you to that thread....

He might be making some rims as well.

Eventualy he might be persuaded to do some rear bulk heads (keeping fingers crossed)

on the bart's part site I've had difficulties reaching them. emailed him at both addreses.

Also got a set of these

It's not a common part by any means, but Advanced Racing Products made an aluminum rear bulkhead that was included as part of their RC10 mid-motor conversion kit. I found one on ebay a few years ago by itself for cheap. Here's a pic of railey72's build with one:

Wow! Never seen that. Love the squared end with the curves nearer the front.

I have had zero luck contacting Barts by ANY means. I have called both numbers several times, left messages, emailed, but NO response. Would like to know for sure Bart is still making parts!

Didn't even think of calling them.

Ha...LOL. I'm 66 today and remember when phones were ONLY used for calls. I do have an iphone though so I'm omni-directional (call, text, email)...
