Ha! Yes a shapeways bumper is being...printed?

Not a shapeways bumper. I don't think they can make clear parts lol. I make these bumpers on a CNC machine. The bent bumpers are bent on a metal brake. So far I have made bumpers for RC10t, RC10, and Kyosho. I also install LED lights in the clear ones for a little added cool factor lol. I put pink LED's on my daughters car.

Wow, those are nice! How much do these run? I might have to PM you. Doubt the shapeways bumper will last long.

This is an AE stamped graphite chassis. Hmm, the back two holes are drilled halfway and in the wrong spot? There are two front holes, but they look a little too far back? Compare erichevy's post here: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=36830#p410944 to mine:

Those are not factory holes.

Kinda looks like your rear arm mounts are on the wrong sides too.

It would be easy enough to drill the rear holes for a stealth transmission, but given the location of the holes presently in the chassis behind the bulkhead there may not be enough material to drill the front holes for a stealth transmission. They would be really close.

Well, this sucks.

I just installed a stealth transmission. Drilled the old graphite chassis. One word: smooth.

We have been charging $20 for them over on the Old School RC facebook page. If you haven't already joined that group I highly recommend it. A very nice bunch of members on there. Many of them are members from here as well. Feel free to PM me. I can cut you a deal. I also make custom versions if you like. If you join the facebook group be sure to post pics of your car. I love it.

New paint. Installed shapeways bumper. Lowered wing with B5 mounts.

I know it's called product evolution but new tires will never look as cool as old pins.

Ha ha, I agree. Spikes for show. Slicks to GO!

Siebenelch's style!! In love with the slammed protech look.









I did two more for my B4.2: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=77&t=38474

I have always loved the siebenelch and with the carbon fiber chassis you can really get the look. That is a very unique rear tower and reminds me of the ultima rear towers. Great looking car.

edit - Is that a front tower drilled to mount to the rear bulkhead? Sure looks like it. Very creative.

Paint scheme is sick. Nice work.
