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.

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.





















Hope you like it.

Wow Miguel, that's sharp!

Very nice! Love that battery brace.

after seeing your car's graphite parts...........I am thinking of Batman ........

very nice !!.........

sweet sweet car, cant wait to see it painted and finished. u should do a blue real flame technique on it, that would totally set it off.

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.

thanks for the comments

i painted a hot bodies stealth fighter a while back, but not blue

saving it for a future project

yup, very nice! can we get a close up on the motor plate? I want to get a better idea of what you used and how it's put together.

I was thinking it would be cool to have a build of the year thread...this one would be nominated for sure.

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?

sweet car!

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.

Very nice work there....

Miguel is a down right artist with the limited tools he's using--somebody buy this man a Bridgeport for X-mas! And a Lathe!

Wow! What Reg said!

LOL ... thanks Reg... anyone interested in sending me the machines PM me for my address.

Super Clean build. I really like the look of the blue accents against the graphite. Trick parts too.
