genuine chassis colours

[mick355]

Hi guys,
After a bit of advice before spending my hard earned.
There is a one run old rc10t coming on the market soon.
But the chassis is anodized blue. I have never seen a blue tub before.
Could this just be that someone has anodized the tub, nose section and tubes?
Or could it be something on the rare side.
Thanks in advance.
Mick

there were blue anodized chassis' available here and there from associated but very uncommon for an rc10, also rc10t. the nose plate and nose tubes were available for rc10gt so much more common. there was also an aftermarket company that re-anodized aluminum tubs (rc10(t), rc10t2 and rc10gt) Badboyz or something like that.

it's also fairly easy for an anodizing shop to re-anodize, so it's really hard to tell for sure if you have an uncommon original or just a re-anodized one. really, for all intents and purposes, they are equivalent. without an original bag or proof of purchase, it would be hard to prove the origin.

the condition of the tub will dictate the sale price over anything else.

Is it anodized or powder coated? Associated sold powder coated blue chassis as well as green, pink and yellow
