Looking for photo of RC10 with sides of chassis cut down.

Post by tbfoto »

I'm rebuilding my RC10. The chassis that I have has had a chunk cut out of it from it's previous owner. In an attempt to smooth out the side I have heard that some people cut the sides of the chassis down. Does anyone here have a photo of one like that?

i can mail ya a vinyl template for a couple bucks, i made with my vinyl cutter that you can stick to the sides and get a perfect cut. have a few variations of it. i used a dremel, but have also used a hacksaw in the past, and also a bandsaw i think years ago. All you gotta do is apply the template and cut right at the edge.

A template is not a bad idea. I think I'm going to do this tomorrow so I dont have the time for snail mail. LOL Thanks anyway. I'm sure I can lay down a straight edge with tape or something. I was just looking for photos as to how far down other people have cut theirs.

Have you consulted the cut chassis thread?
