I have been really stoked on Siebenelch cars and hand a parts team car that i wanted to make a runner out of. When looking through some old parts i came accross a pretty beat up graphite chassie i had when i was a kid, so here we go trying to put two together and make a fun runner

I had a busy weekend dialing away. First i stripped, cleaned and died the purple doner car parts Black. I really wanted to use a rpm worlds front end but they are so hard to come by i used a rc10t front bulkhead and shock tower with Losi arms. THe bulk head had to be trimmed for the arms to have full range of motion.

Just a note about Dynotech—Chad is a one-man band, and isn't always around e-mail. If he doesn't respond immediately, don't get tweaked. Sometimes it takes a couple of shots to get where you're going with Chandler. ;) But it's worth it—his stuff roXors. :D I have a new Dynotech Delta sitting right here next to me, and it's a seriously cool piece of R/C kit (vertical motor mount, vertical TC3 exposed diff, pushrod front suspension, adjustable rear toe A-arms, adjustable rear anti-squat diff housings...). I'll save that stuff for another thread, though. :D

I'm anxious to see where this one goes—I dig the retro-contemporary racers with the low-slung oldie bodies.

Nice job on the clean up and dye job! Also, nice touch with the front gt brace mount and tubes.

You really did a very nice safe there, awesome resto! I'm always amazed by how good a RC10 that seem like a piece of crap can turn out with special care, it seems that they can't really die and end up in a trash can. Let the legend go on, these babies are bullet-proof 8)

Thanks for the support guys, Here are the final pictures. I still need to get a body. i have a viper body that might look pretty awesome slammed, but i also have a Schumacher Cat body that will fit pretty good. But i always have been a fan of the protech.
