These are some pics. of my graphite resto project. It is not 100% correct yet . Still need a few items. I can't take credit for the paint . The body was painted by racer8838.When I got the chassis it had alot of holes drilled in the chassis . I used JB weld to fill the holes . I don't think it turned out to bad . It has losi steering and a kimbrough servo saver . The speed control is duratrax with a tamiya dirt tuned motor. I just picked up a reedy outlaw motor and a lepord esc for it .
While I was waiting for the TBG TQ10 body to make its way through the USPS black hole, I decided to slap together a Graphite basket case that has been warming the shelf for a number of years.
I decided to be a little less strict on my OEM only...

Trimmed. Body sides are barely deep enough to cover the chassis.
I picked this up on eBay a while ago, I was the only one to bid on it and I got it for pretty cheap. The chassis is pretty nice, but not perfect. My plan here is simple, clean it up and shelf it. Or I may unload it, I'm not much of a shelf queen...

I just restored a six gear RC10 Graphite,it turned out nice,but there's a few scuffs on the underside of the chassis I'd like to get rid of.

I recently decided to re-build an RC-10 to what I once used to own.
What I had though wasn't a simple gold pan but a fully tricked out graphite (D&D) chassis, A&L arms rear, Andy's front, graphite towers, MIP gearbox (pre-stealth), fully polished...

Remaining unseen from my wife. As long as its unseen she forgets I have a collection. That is at least until we find a house to move into. Not very much space in a 700sq ft apt.
Just recently started to restore this full original Graphite Team car.
Was completely original with every nut/bolt/washer.
Waiting on a few bits now to continue.

I like the Detonator Worlds body as well. I have them on two of my cars. I like how sleek and low slung it is.
