RC10 Graphite Box Art Car

[RC10resto]

so with that battery, other than having a pair of arms machined for the front, you have all of what you would call the "hard stuff"?

Yup - just need some prototype nylon front arms

That is awesome! Can't wait to see this one done.

Oh wow, I never noticed that in the picture... some sort of prototype arms?

Pretty cool stuff!

prototype/pre-production wide track front arms. machined, not injection molded.

Can someone educate me on the significance of this chassis? Is it a very early production graphite chassis or something?

[RC10resto]

Very early AE Woven Graphite chassis in the shape of the Horizon / AE TQ10 Graphite chassis. As far as I know this was never released to the general public. I picked it up on ebay from an 80's AE Team driver.
The only other one I have seen is pictured on the RC10 Graphite Box.

I remember that chassis on ebay, I believe it's $100 plus shipping. I thought it was a reproduction since it's not all black, but fiber woven. The seller mentioned it was hand out for Team Associated racers only.

Hey Brian any updates on this?

[RC10resto]

Does a layer of dust on the box count
No, I ran into a roadblock with the front arms and put it on the back back burner..................

Found a Novak 4 for it a few years back

[mikea96]

The dust counts

Thanks to a heads up from "aip47-2008" I now have a more correct motor for the replica.

Thanks Aaron

[mikea96]

Nice! I woukd like to find one of those in that condition for my tq10.

[scr8p]

Gotta find someone else to make those arms........

[jwscab]

I have the correct material for the look of those arms. I can even cut to shape, but I can't see what they really look like with any detail. are they in fact 'master' prototypes of what is molded? Or are any pictures sufficiently poor that a reasonable approximation would be acceptable?

these edinger cups were flat plate material.

Hey Joe,
I would be happy with a "rough copy" of a production arm in that material.
Let me know what it would take.
Thanks,
Brian
