I feel like noobe all over again. I started this build years ago when painting an extra body I had lying around. After sitting on it awhile I've finally decided to pull the trigger on the A&L chassis kit. I opted for the 4 hole front tower and fiberglass chassis.
There will be some waiting on select parts, so this will be built on pace with someone Jason's builds... unless he has gotten quicker at his builds over the couple of decades
Chassis would need to have two holes drilled out, a longer trans brace, and you would need to modify the rear bumper. They trans and the chassis were different eras, and were not really used together. That said I have built quite a few c2 with lethal weapon.

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 Factory Works website

I'll be doing this for sure I can't have a new lethal weapon transmission and not install it in this chassis.
It looks like the donor Championship car with the Team car shocks is going to need help with donating parts, the rear bulkhead is cracked around the battery housing.
In comes donor number 2, a RC10 graphite. I feel so reckless tearing into a complete RC10 at least it's for a good cause.

It’s all good as long as you put that nice looking graphite back together with the correct pirated pieces when your done
No fear of that! I even have the first car back together as much as I can. Loose parts and hardware give me anxiety lol, clear space, clear mind
It gives me more room to polish my old balls and pins. I even stuck the front axles in the drill and gave them a once over.
If you didn't mind it being made of black nylon, I could 3D print you a rear bulkhead. Your RC10 Graphite wouldn't have to get cannibalized for that part.

That is so tempting! I want as many white parts on this as I can, because fibreglass chassis' look great with white parts and stainless hardware.
As odd as this is...would you consider blue or red? At least is would jive better with the paint scheme.
Another option would be to buy a white one that would be worth trimming the ballstud tabs off, since they have to be removed anyway. I think I will head to ebay to see what unicorns lay waiting... maybe I find some cheap NIP white long arms too
I think all I have is black nylon right now, but I'll double check if I have enough white nylon left. The white can be dyed. I could also eliminate any features you didn't need, like the ball stud mounts.

Well, I've mod'd the rear bumper and installed the longer trans brace, but have yet to drill the chassis
I have a few unanswered questions... I mean hardware, is the fiberglass plate meant to be the drilling template?
Also, what are the other screws for?
I've temporarily used the graphite car's rear bulkhead to mock things up
Just thought I'd post up a couple of pics of this RC10 chassis plate which I dont have the parts for.Just wondering who makes it and what it is exactly.

Yes its the HOUGE chassis that uses swingarms on the rear only either black plastic ones or aluminum ones.DON 8)

I think I may need to build a truck
BTW- Haven't heard from NomadRacer in quite some time.....
i found this setup in an old parts box at my lhs. i like hobby shops that have been around a LONG time, and they let you rumage through their storage room. you'll always find some neat old stuff.

Well I'm in So Cal and the best one I know is Pegasus Hobbies in Montclair (for aftermarket old stock anyways). As far as factory Associated parts I just get them from tower or of course ebay. Andy Jacobson which we know as the Andy's originator...
I fully understand theory but what I'd like to know is how do they drive compared to the standard a-arm setups? The only trailing arm car I've ever driven is my JRX2 with it's 5 link suspension which is sort of an evolved trailing arm setup. There...

I used to race an RC-10 with an Andys composite chassis and Andys trailing arms in the early 90's, similar to the A&L ones. The only thing I didn't like about them is that the camber changed alot through the range of motion.
I've got this build going rather well now, still need a few more parts and work to get it rolling. Most of the Associated parts were sourced from eBay chop shop sellers.
