I had an idear last night about building an rc10 graphite car a b2/3 front kick plate and front and. And leave everything else rc10 with klein rear arms. Just kind of thought about taking the woin a step further and using off the shelf parts to build an evan narrower front end rc10. So i guess my question is has anyone tried it? I know i seen that guy made a complete b3 with a graphite chassis plate. But i like the idea of using the rc10 rear end. I even thought about possably drilling and cutting the chassis to use b2/3 rear arms and still using the rc10 rear bulkhead and stealth. But that would all be figured out once the project starts. I emaild rc carbonworks and they said they have no problem making me a chassis withot any holes except the rear bulkhead and stealth holes. I know i will have to cut down the front of the chassis some because the kick plate is quite a bit narrower. Just figured id see some opinions on how well it would word and if it had ever been tried

I've got a B3 front end sitting around too. I've been tempted to do the same thing but with a Bullet Racing Powerglide belt drive and trailing arms at the rear. Then again I've also got a B4 front end too.
