Wow, she's a beaut'!
Might have missed it, but is it going to be a runner?

Well, if it isn't going to be run, can I suggest metal shocktowers?mk-Zero wrote:Wow, she's a beaut'!

Re: Shodog's RC10 Tube chassis build
I built the dampers this morning. Had to dye a few bits black
I used some RPM spring cups. The rears will need travel limiters put in. I want to get it further assembled then set the ride height.
An aluminum shock tower would look good. That's something to consider. I was entertaining using a composite craft carbon motor plate to match the carbon front shock tower.

Re: Shodog's RC10 Tube chassis build
Rebuilt the internals of a stealth transmission and installed them into a Rogue Elements aluminum case. Scrapped the idea of using the composite craft motor plate as its drilled for 6gear tranny. So I took a stealth motor plate and cut the tab off and then sanded and polished the edge. Installed a set of MIP CVD driveshafts to round out the drivetrain.
Re: Shodog's RC10 Tube chassis build
Sweet! Funny I have a set of polished MIP CVD's on my CE runner.. doesn't deserve them.
It'll be a shame to cover any of that chassis! Maybe make panels for every single hole? like an all exposed frame?

I think changing to white cups might not look as good as it sits now. Chrome and white just don't go as well together as black and chrome.

Re: Shodog's RC10 Tube chassis build
Tonight's project was to restore a set of Tecnacraft wheels that I got these in a recent craigslist deal.
I used some axles chucked up into my drill to polish the wheels. They weren't too bad off to begin with but there was a fair bit of oxidization that I sanded off with a scotch brite pad.
Once they are smooth, it's time for the mothers mag polish.
Instead of standard buggy tires I used a set of Carson tires with an off road tread.

Re: Shodog's RC10 Tube chassis build
Not sure if I like the tires 
Thanks for the idea of chucking the axle with wheel for polishing, dumb ass me never thought of that! 
I think black springs (though soft) would look better.
