Yeah the market for RC is weird. Cars and parts you would think would go for good money sell cheap and stuff that is junk goes for crazy prices.

Good job Mike! Wow, that IS nice. Seems a shame to part it out -- but we know it's going to a much better place. :D

I'm going to use parts for my stealth build then the chassis for another build and see what's left.

That chassis looks good;-). Take some more shots of that rear bulkhead.

With that minty 10t you should have that rear end done in no time. I'm finishing up my last shock rebuild tonight; just waiting on some orings to arrive in the mail.

Should hopefully have 7 chassis sets by early December. Christmas should be fun;-))

I will add some more photos of the bulkhead. I still need to order the shapeways parts but I was waiting for the steering to be done first.

Here is a picture of the other side of the bulkhead. I still have some cleaning up to do but I wanted to see how it fit.

Looks good Mike. That nylon can be very tricky to cut cleanly and it doesn't sand well either (leaves fuzzies at the edges). Certainly not as easily machined as Delrin.

Great looking build so far. Excited to see it progress. That donor 10T looks super mint. Score!

Who made the NIX chassis? I have 2 Composite Craft Pro RC10T chassis. I know the materials are different, but the design and style seem quite similar. Is there a connection between them? Does anyone still produce a NIX chassis?

Sorry for all the questions. Thanks for any help.
