Caged slim chassis RC10
Another attempt at a caged Buggy.
My original plan was to cut and TIG a rail cage out of stainless pipe, but that´s going to be a winter project.
For now it´s just the good ol´ruler and some aluminum rods.
Apart from the front arms, shocks and turnbuckles all parts used are AE - A mash up indeed!
I still need to sort the rear shock tower and bulkhead - Shock tower needs to be black and the bulkhead (original) was planned for my Graphite.
Regarding the rear bulkhead - It´s going to powered by LiPo, so I figured the best solution would be a re-release one dyed black?
A set of wide Andy´s or RPM front arms will replace the Ultima ones when sourced.

Lookin good Dennis! Everything needs a cage
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

Re: Roller Ruler - Warning - Kyosho parts
Nice build
I would go with a dyed rere bulkhead.... I'm not sure, but i think the rere bulkhead/plastic gets a bit too soft after a dye boil (not sure how hard/sturdy it was before i dyed it)
Maybe someone else have noticed this.
Anyways... looking forward to see this develop into something rad.

Re: Roller Ruler - Warning - Kyosho parts
Many thanks for the kind words.
Regarding the bulkheads -
The front is a 10T and the rear is 10B (to my knownledge)
Rear bulkhead seems a bit "wobley" where the upper suspension arms mount, I guees that´s why it almost "never" break.

Re: Caged slim chassis RC10
Today we had our maiden voyage
I´ll never make fun of an old Stealth gearbox again - It runs very smooth.
ESC - Could be a Mtroniks/Carson 11T, not sure.
Motor - Reedy modified red dot.
RX - Multiplex Pico 4/5 FM
TX - Graupner XR-6FM race.
It runs surprisingly nice, will need a bit more modern rims and rubber though

Re: Caged slim chassis RC10
Thanks for the kind words, Gents.
The soldering would be interesting to try out.
I´ve done it a couple of times with brass, copper and steel with okay results.
If I can find the material locally, I´ll give it a shot.
Update picture with running "shoes"
2,2´s was too big for my taste, so I ended up with 3 piece wheels with halfworn Schumacher´s.
Were there matching 3 piece wheels for the front?
