RC10 RPM Graphite Build

[extreemduster340]

This project started when I received a darn nice graphite chassis except for the fact that the front of the chassis had been cut on the ends of the nose. So much that only half of the outer holes for the a-arm mounts were there So i dug into my stash of parts and decided to use 10t front bulkhead and front and rear shock towers. About and hour of grinding and cutting the 10t front was transplanted. I also had to narrow the front area of the chassis to get the body to sit down low. For some reason every graphite chassis I have with exception of the factory associated chassis is wide in this area. The a arms in the front are the RPM long worlds arms (same dimensionally as the Klien arms). The back of the car uses stock rc10 arms, rc10 cvd's with b3 shafts and truck carriers. Anyway here are a few pictures to enjoy. I should be completing and testing in the next 2 weeks.

Very nice, ballsy to run those arms though-

That's a sharp looking build. Cool looking chassis.

I do have a set of the dynotech arms, I may change them. The arms are actually not as nice as they appear in the pictures. Someone took a dremel to the shock area for clearance

I would be nice one day to find the rear RPM setup. I have one left side mount and thats it.

Nice build buddy! I never had the heart to cut down my graphite chassis to accomodate the truck front...

Did they also drill another shock mounting location hole?

nice clean looking shot,

Thats a very nice build. Could you post close-up pics of the transplant area.

Thanks

Yes someone did drill an extra hole.

I will get some picts of the area for you. Basically I just used a truck nose plate for the template and scribed a light centerline on the chassis to make sure I had it centered.

Maybe hit the wrong smiley, the wink is right next to it

Is there anybody out there know where I could get rc 10 graphite chassis.In process of rebuilding my car to race in a vintage class.

If you are going to run/race this I have a pair of used wide rear RPM arms that I'll probably never use. I don't run anything and they are nowhere near good enough for a shelfer. Let me know...
