Re: Alloy Build Update of Sep. 5 2013
That sure is purty! can't wait to see it done!
I have an RC10GT that tips the scale at 7.23 lbs. Doesn't look near as nice as the OP's car, but it can take a beating. Steel parts are tough......This should be called " The worlds heaviest RC10."

I mocked things up just to see what it would look like. I have more parts I'm going to be sending out for Ano in A few months. Waiting on a couple special parts as well.

Re: Alloy Build Update of Jan/14/2014
Sort of If there were sets available, I'd get a set. Or I'll make a set or ask someone to make a set. Any suggestions?

Re: Alloy Build Update of Jan/14/2014
The only person I know of who makes custom alloy parts is toyranosaur (Chris from Rogue Element Components). He does amazing work!!!
Here is his website http://www.rogueelementcomponents.com/
I think he only does things that would be in demand, so not sure if it would lead to anything.
The only thing after that would be ally tires

Poor Don the anodizer! I bet his poor fingers are all sore for polishing all those parts! LOL
Remember it's either a runner or a shelfer. Everything else is just parts.

Re: Alloy Build Update of Jan/14/2014
That looks great. Not asking how much, but how much to have all that done? No need for numbers just an idea...
