Could be lead paint. The bill that banned lead paint passed in 1976 which is the same year that that CK760 wouldve been raced.

I think it's a Delta CK760. Is the chassis painted? Looks like it.

It's just that in the ad pic there looks to be a standoff under the v-brace, in front of the battery slots, that's too long to fit under there. The brace is straight but seems like it should be bent up after the front arms. When I tried to do that on the ST-10 I had it just made the chassis bend in ...

Very nice as usual.

I could never figure out how the top deck was mounted in the ad car. The section under the arms looks like it's mounted flat to the chassis, but from the servo back to the shock mount it looks like it's raises up.

It would make me see red....and I ain't talking about the anodizing.

Duratrax Did they make their own chassis or was this made by a 3rd party? I wasn't even aware that duratrax made composite chassis. Is this unidirectional carbon fiber over a core? Duratrax had their own chassis but I'm not certain if it was a resale deal or not. You can ID a Duratrax by the 6 scre...

Duratrax

Black CF, without a weave pattern, is usually sold as unidirectional. Isotropic is the fab process where each ply of CF is laid at a 45 or 90 degree angle to the previous one.

Did anyone make these with the controls swapped?. i.e. throttle stick on the large face, steering wheels on skinny side. I think that could actually be pretty comfortable.

I've got the same Duratrax chassis with 30° kickup. It has a white layer sandwiched between the the graphite top and bottom. Do you still have the header card for yours? If not can you remember the part number? It looks like Duratrax had two different Pro XL chassis'. The first was part number DTXC...

Looks like it's got an offset battery chassis for oval racing.

Here's a VW Splitty pick-up body, but the wheelbase may be 10-15mm longer than you want.

The only other COE bodies that I can think of are the Dahm's Camino 2000, and the Kyosho Blizzard...but the Camino is likely too big for what you want @ 9" wide x 17 3/4" long. How about modding a Midnight Pumpkin body? https://www.scalebuildersguild.com/forum/threads/can-a-tamiya-midnight...

Bolink Little Red Wagon body was for a legends based car but it was 12th scale.

Anyone that likes big city stuff needs a head exam...sorry Thumbs I think that we can all agree, on both points. That's a hasty generalization. I personally disagree, but I respect that RC10Talk is not the forum to get into my opinions on why, or to make slights at the members who think differently...
