Did Associated ever release a blue RC10 chassis, powder coated maybe?

Early "A" stamp in light blue anno for team drivers
Later im pretty sure there was powder coated chassis and truck and buggy noseplates.

Scr8ps early blue anno

Factory blue powdercoated (option parts)

My "thrasher" RC10 has an anodized blue chassis...not painted or powder coated. Not sure what the story with it is, I got it off Ebay several years ago. I think its drilled for a stealth too if I remember correctly, I'd have to go out to the shop to look at it. I'll snap a pic of it later if anyone is interested.

love to see it, I think I've only seen one other , I'm sure it was one of scr8p's builds, but not 100% on that.

Well guys...sorry to get your hopes up...upon further inspection, it looks like it is a powder coated chassis. It's just so worn thin on the bottom that I thought it wasnt powder coated. Anyways, not to steal this thread but, here is project "Yard thrasher". I threw it together because my son got his first hobby grade RC car (a Tamiya Sand Viper DT02), and I had to have something to mash around with him.

Powdercoated, like mine-

Here is a pic of the one I sold. It was powder coated.

Cool, I just picked up a car with the blue powder coated chassis and nose plate. I wasn't sure if it was a home job or factory. It's in pretty good shape. I will get some pics soon.

Beauty. Love the consistency with the blue nuts & screws, shock bodies, motor heatsink, antenna, etc. Nice attention to detail.
