You are correct they are the mounts i used, and then i pieced together (until i make new ones) some cut down standard front tubes. the two pieces are held together with some 4-40 all thread rod.
Nice chassis and I like the fact that it is allittle different than all the others. I want to build a retro car and try and make it a bit different but it's getting harder and harder to do. Nice job and more pics hopfully with the body on it.

awsome mind if i ask where you bought the c/f and how much a sheet? im looking for some reasonably prices most places are outragous. one suggjestion i would do a carbon front shock tower to match all the other sexy partsb

The graphite sheet came from McMaster Carr. it was cut from a 12"x12"x.125" sheet and cost about $85. no too cheep but you can get 2 chassis and some shock towers out of 1 sheet. I do plan on re-making the front shock tower at some point.
i saw mcmaster i can get my pops to order it and they have it to him the same day but thats pretty pricey ive found some for 55 but i really dont need alot

I have been a big fan of the original RC10 since it cam out. I race my RC10 for about 10 year and now I collect some. The lattes thing for me is coming up with some cool looking part and make them myself.
Here are some pics of one of my cars.

It did once; long time ago, but now I use a long sleeve shirt, jeans, eye protection and a mask. :lol:
i spent some time talking to chad at dynotech yesterday about making some of the discontiued parts for the rc10. i was going to send some stuff to him so he can get an idea of what it would take to produce them, and to get an idea of what the street...

Nah you could use the standard motor plate modified. The B3 plate would require the same mods as the stealth one aswell as having to sort out where it attaches to the chassis at the back so it'd be harder. I think the idea is to use the standard...
Building this, all chassis pieces are powder coated black and in nice shape all stainless steel hardware will be used basically it will be a stock appearing roller 20190127_151057.jpg 20190128_165933.jpg 20190127_151105.jpg

Lucky! I'm dying to find an early offset B stamp chassis like that for my 7001!
I was wondering if i was to 3D print a-arms for an RC10, which plastic would be the best? I mostly use PLA but I dont know if that would be strong enough. I was thinking Nylon or ABS but I haven't experimented with that. I was going to test the...

Depends a lot on the printer. I have 5, and they are set up for different materials.
Hands down the strongest material I use is NylonX (carbon infused) and NylonG (fiberglass infused). To print that, you need an enclosure and hardened nozzle. I...
This might be biting off more than I can chew, but based on my latest post in the BST Forum I figured I would open it up for Associated (or non) requests for custom FRP parts. Maybe a million dollar RPM rear shock tower (huhn Hoopty????)????

RPM worlds rear towers?
And front towers too? They are just 10T towers, right? But I have seen them without the hole for the nose tubes. I am a bit confused on that part.
the rpm front worlds towers are similar to the 10t but not the same. the...
