I'm thinking fill the holes and do the faux CF paint job with a nice clear coat...

you could also try the carbon fiber laminate stuff.
kinda ot, but how do you determine partial or fully countersunk on a tq10?

on the early tq10's, the holes down the side where the battery cups would mount on a tub chassis were not countersunk. the later versions were countersunk.

Damn what a mess at the rear.. Yeah front looks like someone trying to make a Stealth II imitation. How many of those holes in the middle section are supposed to be there?

it definately has a lot more holes in it than mine did, but the overall condition is much better, imo.
these were the only holes i need to fill on mine, and i opted to add the servo mount holes. although i should have used a different chassis as a template. they're a little close.

I really wonder what the holes in your chassis were used for Scr8p, really strange locations

well, two of them were to set the steering bellcranks back. for what, i have no idea. the one between the bellcranks, again, no idea. the other four were for mounting the servo. why there's holes on both sides, not really sure.
