Tore down my And'y Graphite Chassis RC10 today and began my restore and modification. This will be a medium pace build depending on my budget, lol. I am going for a complete flat black/key lime color build. I'm sure it's been done before but I like the color contrast between the two. Got my new black arms on and some painted parts on. The arms came out a little more shiny then I wanted them to, but a little dirt and sand will dull them down a little More pics to come with project updates. My camera doesn't take clear picture anymore after it's run in with the bottom of a river. So I am sorry about quality.

Some more parts added and the transmission built and lubed and installed.

That andy's chassis is a nice piece

I think you'll have some problems with mounting the rear shocks on the rear arms

You painted the plastic parts and shock towers? If so, the paint won't last for a long time...

I know I saw that later. I guess building a car at 1 am isn't a good idea. It is fixed now.

I got the painted arms from a friend off his old demolished rc10. (broken chassis) I am waiting for my new RPM arms. The shock towers were primed and painted.

Since my old front stub axles and steering blocks were shot I had to think of something new and modify them. I bought t3/b3 front steering blocks and b2 aluminum axles and got them to fit. I had to trim a little off one end of the steering blocks to get them to fit into the stock rc10 arm pivots. Works great, plus the arms on the steering blocks are a little longer so it gives me a little more turning radius. Here are some new pics of them installed.

Here you can see the ends are too long to fit into the pivot. I took a little off the longer end of the steering block



Sanded down



Installed

Finally got it temporarily together. Needs some rims and tires, I robbed all the electronics from my Rustler. It's decent with the 7 cell and all my old XL5 parts.
