I happen to have a chassis that was cut a little too long for a buggy chassis but just so happens to be the right size for a 10T build. Going build a "what if" 91 Stealth 10T truck to match the 91 Worlds car I built in the buggy forum.

Currently I am waiting on parts and the build is going to require some custom machined arms. Starting this build with a bare chassis and top deck so it should be interesting to say the least. Pictures coming very soon.

hmmm interesting. i think the only things that'll need to be re-done are the body mounts, and maybe a braced front shock tower?

This will be very interesting. I know I'll be watching this thread.

Mockup of that chassis...

I may not be well in the head -
But it looks awesome in clear plastic

Agreed! And agreed!

Very cool project! Gonna be lots of Masami's running around, you gotta be different!

That will look bad ass as a shelfer with a clear body.

The truck is going to have different shock towers machined from the same material as the NIX91. The chassis I have is actually a 30 degree chassis since it is the first chassis I cut when working on the NIX91. Believe me I cut several chassis' before we got to where we are with the NIX91. There was a lot of carbon fiber destruction going on.

Hopefully I can post some pics in the next week or two.

Interesting

As a big fan of the rc10T, I am very interested and excited to see how this goes.

Got the towers and first set of test arms machined today. The front arms needed to be adjusted and the rears were perfect.

I have the new final arm design ready to go and will machine them tomorrow as long as I find the time.

I am waiting for some parts to arrive as well

So when is this beast going into production?

More work completed but still have a ways to go before I can call it done. I decided to use the same castor blocks from the Nix91 kit but the offset of the 10T wheels creates a good bit of rubbing. I will correct this by using GT axles. I hope to start the final assembly of the truck very soon. The truck shares the exact same wheelbase and track as the original 10T.

This truck is probably going to be a one of a kind. I have no plans to make any kits or sell any of the parts I have made, sorry.

Looks fantastic...!
