Was there ever a graphite chassis offered for the rc10gt ? I've done a few searches and found nothing. Its a full chassis , not a flat piece with the screw on nose plate . just wondering what brand it'd be if it was an after market option . someone put a black armed black tub GT with the red head dynamite engine

Maybe I should have waited until I had the truck in hand before making this post .
There was a miss understanding between seller and I on the bolt on truck nose plate . ( I cannot zoom in on the picture he sent me )
It turns out that frame is some kind of fiberglass , a lot like the Horizon Tq10 . I'd say its homemade , but the cut out is just too nice to be homemade . the countersunk holes , cut out for the bump box wheel under the flywheel is perfect .
The nose plate is installed incorrectly & the engine is not a Dynamite. It turned out to be a fantom 15 . After an hour drive there, I wasn't about to come home empty handed .
I'd upload pictures , but photobucket is down .
I still say its too clean to be a homemade frame !

I definitely can't wait to see it. I'm a GT fan through and through. Sounds interesting.

It is very similar to that , except it Don't have the extra holes . the bump start notch and edges are clean .
What photo sharing site are you using to post pictures ?

Okay so it is a full chassis . I removed the nose plate to find that the chassis has the front kick up molded with it . The nose plate (aluminum) was just put on for extra protection.
Sure wish I could attach a picture !

Have you tried uploading using the attachment option under the box when posting?
It has worked for me. JPEG 1024 x 768 or under 1 meg.
All my photos I first put on my computer then use attachment option.

Use the attachment feature. I've been doing it and it becomes permanent on the board.

The previous owner did notch the frame under the pull start for clearance . see no other holes that would resemble this originally being an electric rc10 .
The fantom fr15 had a broken pull start . the one from my tamiya FS12 was a direct replacement ! I did take GT for a spin in the backyard , it seriously hauls butt ! Much faster than any other GT I had with stock engines !

Possibly one of those dirt track GT oval chassis just built up truck style. Ive never seen any fiber GT chassis but it looks to good for a home brew.
