so with that battery, other than having a pair of arms machined for the front, you have all of what you would call the "hard stuff"?
Yup - just need some prototype nylon front arms :wink:

Pretty cool stuff!
prototype/pre-production wide track front arms. machined, not injection molded.

Can someone educate me on the significance of this chassis? Is it a very early production graphite chassis or something?

Very early AE Woven Graphite chassis in the shape of the Horizon / AE TQ10 Graphite chassis. As far as I know this was never released to the general public. I picked it up on ebay from an 80's AE Team driver.
The only other one I have seen is pictured on the RC10 Graphite Box.

I remember that chassis on ebay, I believe it's $100 plus shipping. I thought it was a reproduction since it's not all black, but fiber woven. The seller mentioned it was hand out for Team Associated racers only.

Does a layer of dust on the box count :oops:
No, I ran into a roadblock with the front arms and put it on the back back burner..................

Found a Novak 4 for it a few years back

I have the correct material for the look of those arms. I can even cut to shape, but I can't see what they really look like with any detail. are they in fact 'master' prototypes of what is molded? Or are any pictures sufficiently poor that a reasonable approximation would be acceptable?

these edinger cups were flat plate material.

Hey Joe,
I would be happy with a "rough copy" of a production arm in that material.
Let me know what it would take.
Thanks,
Brian
