RC10 Graphite Box Art Car
Didn't expect to ever find this rare AE chassis
So I guess I have to try to build a box art replica.

Love those chassis

Re: RC10 Graphite Box Art Car
this is one of those chassis plates that i always wanted to have cut. send someone a tq10 chassis and say here, make this in woven cf.
but i must admit, i never studied the pic on the box good enough to notice the nose plate hole up front, or thought it would have an offset battery box.

Re: RC10 Graphite Box Art Car
That would be the perfect graphite chassis for AE to re-re as an aftermarket part.
Should be a cool project, especially if you get the front arms machined to match.

Re: RC10 Graphite Box Art Car
Very cool. Wonder why the offset?

Re: RC10 Graphite Box Art Car
Looks like AE used the standard gold pan chassis machine set-up / program and drilled away.

Re: RC10 Graphite Box Art Car
Makes sense. Where did their CF come from? Did they make it or buy it?

Re: RC10 Graphite Box Art Car
just like the early tq10 chassis:
in the winning edge video, they have a machine that countersinks all of the holes in the tub at once. i would guess they had one that drilled them all at once as well, and the graphite chassis plates were drilled on them too. (around 4:15 on video)

Re: RC10 Graphite Box Art Car
Where did you find that chassis? Was it in a bag with label?
Cool build btw, and I agree, get Jake to mill some arms for that perfect effect!

Re: RC10 Graphite Box Art Car
Okay so I saw this chassis in person yesterday and meh it's alright, seems a bit flimsy
Seriously, this thing is pretty bad ass and crazy thick I'd say about 4mm!

Re: RC10 Graphite Box Art Car
starting to wish I would have bought this instead of giving the heads up on the auctioneer. Cant wait to see the finished product. I do love the lightweightness of the chassis though. My graphite car feels like it weights nothing. must be one hell of a racer.
