Here's my RC10T project I recently started. Orange powder coated chassis, lots of RPM parts, more to come. Let me know what you think!

I'm thinking stock fiberglass color shock towers might look better? I'm also thinking polished shocks and nose tubes and titanium turnbuckles. What do you guys think?

Black towers, but get Orange counter sunk washers, aor spavers. or orange lock nuts. to break up the black a little.

That's a good idea.

Very cool...my regular racer 10T is an all red/black truck with the bits that alien3t mentioned.

I dont think I ever did a build thread on it...it went together so quick & easy :) I was building an all black/red buggy for my son at the same time.

Not to hijack, but why is the truck esc on a shelf and the buggy on the chassis?

I only had 1 shelf :)

I use the shelf to hold the back of the shorty pack in, doesnt seem to be an issue with buggy, but in truck...

Made some progress. Vintage Lunsford turnbuckles, handmade nose tubes.

Haha! Yeah, it's a lot of black on orange action! I'm still debating if I should go with natural colored shock towers. Opinions?

The green chassis screws aren't helping the situation either. Anyone know where to get black or silver chassis screws?
