that looks awsome and definitly looks like a new made chassis the original carbon fiber does not look half as good as that one.

I may have just had an accident in my under pants! :oops:

I have always wanted one and this is one of the best I've seen!!! If you are the one making these you can expect many orders from us at rc10talk! Let me know how much and where to send the check!

Yes its one of Martins, dug out the old moulds. I sold lots of these back in the early 90 especially after one got TQ and a over all win in the 1993 British GP.

Sorry Fastang I no longer sell these but you may still get one direct if you ask nicely. I guess they are around £110 ish for just the tub or £150 for tub and nose, but don't quote me on that. All plus P&P.

Yep, they still make these. However, they no longer mill the nose piece holes - you'll have to drill those yourself.

And, welcome, ThomasH. I’m looking forward to watching the progress with your build. If you search around on here, you'll find a couple of other builds using that chassis.

Thanks for the warm welcome Aeiou. Its proving to be tediously slow awaiting parts to be delivers from the US to the UK but a few turned up today. I will hopefully soon have enough parts to start assembling it.

Along with drilling all the holes in the nose plate the chassis also requires some fine trimming as well where the rear arm mounts go and in some other places.
