I would 100% make that a true graphite World's car. Get rid of all the aftermarket stuff and go back to all AE. That chassis deserves it.

I guess my motto should be: "Give me stock or give me death."

i had the cc towers layin around as well as the andys bulks, and it just kinda ended up all hopped up. i almost put a swingaxle kit on it...

Ohhhhh, i c, that graphite! Nice hoopty! Another rare piece going to a good owner LOL. When you gonna sell your soul to the devil and throw down the dough for a nib or new built gold tub?

i've had my eye out for the right champ ed. to come along. i got a stash of white rpm parts ready for one. i wouldnt mind having a built narrow arm 6 gear, but not bad enough to pay what they go for these days...

anyway, i got a nib 6010 gold tub, still in the shrinkwrap. (the later version) i got it for just a tad over 100 bucks 4-5 years ago. back then they werent near as crazy high as they are now, i wish i had picked up a couple more.

i actually have a ton of goldtubs. but they are all beyond even being worthy for a basher.

Got any gold stealth-drilled chassis in that pile you'd be willing to part with?
My current rc-10 has a black chassis with gold nose and gold motor plate. At first it seemed to look good, but every time I look at it It gets me more irritated that they do not match.
