Red Chassis rc10t build Cliff Lett style

Post by mikea96 »

So here will be the 10t build to my red chassis team car. This is being built from a mint earlier 10t and will resemble Cliff Lett's truck.

Looking forward to this build thread.

Is the red color a close match to the bright red of the original Cliff Lett chassis? I too was looking at your eBay listing.

Looking amazing. Super clean. It looks to be made of mostly all new parts?

Great work. I have always wanted to build/own a Cliff Lett replica. Please think of me if you ever sell. :D

Thanks and it was built from a pretty new barely used truck. I have wanted to build this for a long time. Just have to track down correct electronics now.

Added white nylon nuts on the shocks, correct black front springs and traded out some more steel screws for correct aluminum ones.

Looks awesome. I regretted not picking up one of those chassis' on ebay. I need one for my runner. I have a shelf queen replica, but I'd like to race one too.
