i got a black rc10 tub, think its a 10T tub, or could be the remains of that team car that was in the box.it has a gold front end,gold motor plate,old brittle bell crank. the tub looks as if the thing was cut out, that looks as if it were factory , but the holes have all been widened. the car is the one last one on the right in the pic, (i have to find the individual pic).

any way i stripped down my old graphite rc10 to build up this car.the rc10 needs some chassis work, and i just wanted to put the good parts on a car that would be ran.
ill be changing the rims and tires,should get some electronics in it here shortly. this one will be a runner,ang the graphite car will be waiting for parts once again. update pics and any other mod pics will be posted on this post.

here's some pics.

i took this car and a few others to the track today,one of the guys there said that the tubs came milled out like that,just all the holes drilled was not factory

looks like it was milled out for a b3 trans, too.

yeah, the wrong chassis to see holes in. i would dye that trans case black, i think that would make it look a lot better.
