[mikea96]

Did associated ever make a dark blue anodized chassis and nose plate?

[Charlie don't surf]

No, but there have been people who swore they got them NIP from AE--why?

[mikea96]

A rc10 just came up on ebay buy now for 55.00 and it has dark blue anodized chassis, nose plate and motor plate and he says they are brand new and never used.

There was one other new member here with the same chassis, nose and motorplate--as far as it's been said here, and from AE, motorplates were never ano'ed any other color than gold, and black-
but the color on that car is the same as the one that was here sooooooo?? It's a early B stamp or
an A, if it's an A then it's been unfortunatly been drilled for a stealth--I'll see if I can find the pics of the other car

I have a chassis just like that, A stamp, Anodized. Looks factory to me.

[mikea96]

So i might have ended up with something pretty rare then. Might be a cool project.

[mikea96]

Do you have a pic you can show me?

Mike I can't find it for the life of me,---but now I have a bloodhound named Scr8p on it

badd boyz did a lot of anodizing for associated parts. and for a while they sold a lot of their anodized associated parts through stormer hobbies. i remember seeing tubs, nose plates, motor mounts, shock bodies, and some other stuff. they also made great pieces for other associated buggies that needed stronger bracing.

i still have a 97' stormer catalog. i'll scan the parts they had.

Cool, another member and I were talking about them recently

[mikea96]

Cool thanks guys.

vintage racer had one...........

paul (aeiou) says he has one also.

[littleVETTE]

this is from 97', so the rc10 tubbed worlds car parts weren't being anodized a lot. since the b2 was taking over the scene. i think around 94-95, or so, is when they started doing the tubs and other rc10 tubbed parts. but you get the idea of what they did. they still did the tubs if you wanted them done.



i remember when i first saw the ads, and thought man that's freaking ugly crap. who's going to buy that?
