RC10B1.5 resto mod

I recently picked up a T2 sport chassis from the ebay salvage yard with the intention of making a B1.5 woin buggy build. Its well used and scraped up but perfect for a runner. I cut it way down (1/2" at the lowest point), shortened the front of the chassis and trimmed a nose plate for now. Honestly I wanted to cut the sides down to get rid of the access hole the previous owner drilled but suprisingly, its still super rigid with the angled up chassis sides. Ill be updating as the build goes and hopefully I can get it together soon since I want to actually run this one at a local track.

The T2 tub looks good cut down. Really resembles the B2/B3. I've cut down 2 I think.

Yup, definitely has a b2/b3 vibe with the sides cut down. I made a little late night progress with getting the chassis drilled and nose plate mounted, I decided to mount it about an 1/8" forward from where the normal buggy length mounting holes would be, then shortened and drilled a pair of nose tubes. Lastly, got a servo installed with new mounting holes. That should be the majority of all the chopping and hacking I plan on doing with this build, but we shall see.........

Front end assembly, pretty much plug-n-play stuff here. Klein front arms/rpm worlds width, wide gt axles, 25° caster blocks, jconcepts ball bearing steering, lunsford turnbuckles, rpm ball cups, associated servo saver (tamiya hi-torque copy), rpm mini front bumper.
