This was my first build inspired by RC10Talk. It was the car I decided I wanted after discovering this forum.
This was my first post. http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=1223&start=0
After a lot of reading and enjoying the builds in the site I thought the only way to step it up was to make my own custom parts.
Today was nice and sunny outside so I decided to take some new pics. This is the result.

I actually had that in mind and thought about getting one on the bay but they all have skulls. My plan now might be to get a T Mirage on it. So I might have to send him an e-mail.
looks like a piece of kydex with (2) 90 degree bends, and an aluminum plate that has been milled. I'd like to know a little more about the motor plate. milling machined? anodized?
The motor plate is a GPM part made for the RC10 with Stealth tranny. I got 2 of them 3 years ago directly from their website but they stop making them. Like jwscab mentioned above I made a brace out of kindex to anchor the plate to the chassis. I also made one out of aluminum but kind of like the kindex better.
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:
After seeing all the old is new buggies on here I was inspired (compelled) to build one of my own. Almost the entire car is made from NIP parts. I used Stainless hardware just about everywhere. I wanted my car to be a little different from everyone...

very nice .
I am almost done with my carbon restore .
any chance you have a extra rear trans brace and rear shock tower . :mrgreen:
o is it possible to see the bottom. just wondring how the bottom came out .
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!
On EDiT: This should be in the plain old buggy section, not the rere section, sorry, accident. Mods fee free to fix it.
So, I started out here as a poor innocent sucker, 40-something dad who wanted to convert my old '86 gold pan from my first year...
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...
