Those braces should look awesome on the car.

I have not added the bracing because I can't get my battery hold to work with it; I am going to play with this for a bit.

Yeah, but it was really cool- there was a large camelback that led into a single, then double and a 90deg left. I found that if I rolled the camelback and pinned it at the peak all the way into the single fast and then hit the brakes hard as soon as I crested the single, that I could triple the whole section and still be good for a fast corner because of all the momentum created by the tail whipping higher than the front-but you had to pin the throttle to make the landing right..........
it took me a few "attempts" to figure this out-hence the chassis

Cool stuff Reg. I will be setting this guy up with some sort of bracing. Thanks for the recommendation.
I will be setting this car up with some more custom parts like chassis brace to add more strength and will probable come up with a different way to hold the battery down.
I am planning to run this with a Novak GT 7 and brushed motor for the moment before I move on to brushless.
Check out my green nose RC10 runner on the back ground.
More updates next year, we have a family trip planed so it will be next year when i update this. Thanks for the comments.
Thanks for t e comments, this car is almost done. I am waiting for a couple of things and then the body. He Jim are you offering to paint? Mirage SS.
I am actually waiting for a couple of custom parts that I feel like they will take this car to another level of coolnes. I am really liking this car and I believe it will perform well on the track.
Another update on this baby, Thanks to bigjeepzz for some of the custom parts, stealth trans button and the CF braces. I am adding some electronics and body next.
Miguel, that is a sharp looking build man. I have alway thought the white tub would look great and you have definately nailed a perfect build.
I hope the parts fit good for you. I can't wait to hear how the car runs on the track. I am happy with my red car and this is pretty much built with the same parts. Can't wait to see what you do for a paint job.
badass. now that's a color associated should of started off with, with the colored tubs. really pops and brings out the white parts. sweet build miguel.
I had this Protech body from an older shelf car that I replace with a Mirage so I decided to trim this one up for this car... There is something about a nicely trimmed down Protech body that make me like it even more now that I use to BITD...
Check out my wing buttons to go with the stealth plug... I think it is bad A$$,
Thanks Jake.
Paint and electronics coming soon.
This car will have some custom parts and some adapted parts but it will be a simple modernized RC10.
I will show one part for now,

I have been so busy with work (the kind that pays the bills) that I haven't spent any time on this guy; I have all the parts except the custom ones that I have to make so my apologies for not following up on this.
I love to restore more than building new out the box. Its just something about bringing old forgotten RC'S back to life so when I came across someone who had this old blackfoot body and Sees Aluminum wheels with a vintage Sassy Chassis thats been...

That came out spectacular ! Well worth your effort.
Hi all, a few months ago when I joined, I showed a pic of my lightly used RC10T Team truck I bought back in '96. Being I bought a brand T truck to play with, and inspired by some other projects, I decided to blow apart my truck and start a build....

That is something you need to talk to your powder coater about. My chassis had very minor scuffs and scrapes, not sure what they did, but you can't tell any of them were even there. Its something I wasn't concerned about personally--but i am glad...
so, while ive been home recouping some bone realignment (the unfun kind) ive gotten acquainted with this beyond awesome forum and all the sick, trick, colorful, real use and all things that a rc10 can be....really has helped me fight the cabin...

My Losi collection begins with the JRX series and ends with the XX series and I want another Kinwald buggy to display next to my XX CR Kinwald.
While I have owned a MF2 truck,I'm pretty out of the loop when it comes to the XXX series.

A good friend gave this to me,says he raced it a few times back in the day! I have had it in the closet for a couple years. I'm plannin on a full restore, will keep updates as i work on it. Enjoy!

Badd Boyz anodizing, quite a nice little time capsule you've got there.
Speaking of which I always wondered what happened to Badd Boys as it must have been a offshoot of a larger company.
my new sprinter project. a little dirty but should clean up nice.
