First off let me be clear. This is not mine. It could be. It may not be, but before it may quietly go into the rc abyss I figured I should get the pictures and question up. Clearly it’s a T chassis, it looks just like Composite Crafts earlier design RC10 chassis. Not like their team one. What’s odd to me is the holes in it for trailing arm mounts. That and the absence of holes to mount a motor guard.

Composite Craft. Two of the holes you mention at the back are for a top deck, as are the ones by the battery box screws. The top deck looked like their Worlds chassis for the buggy.

Motor guard holes are worn off.

I do see what you’re saying with the holes towards the rear center section, also that possibly the last bit of the chassis was lobbed off where the motor guard holes would be. I’m not seeing the holes that would mount the upper chassis right behind the bellcranks. Also this chassis is a pretty different shape. Took some digging to find some bottom pics of another, these are from close to the sites infancy.

This top deck. Front attaches to a spreader bar that mounts to the bulkhead.

Ahh ok yes you did say the upper for the worlds style chassis…
Why the heck did they make so many different styles of lower The hole pattern does look spot on for that upper.
Now with them being side by side I’m thinking maybe it didn’t have motor guard holes. Would have this been an earlier chassis then the worlds style lower or same time.

Looks more like a buggy chassis than a truck. I wonder if the "coffin" cut side were lopped off.

Sure does, I mean you can cut down a buggy nose into a truck nose but you can’t make what would be buggy bellcranks holes go away and the truck bellcranks are in the correct spot for a truck.

I’m thinking the way it runs into the nose section and it’s width wouldn’t make that possible.

They had multiple versions of the 10t chassis. If it were a buggy the bellcranks wouldn't fit.

Correct. My comment was more of an observation based on looks and not that it was a buggy. I've seen quite a few CC chassis, but this one is an oddball for a truck.

If I had to guess, the coffin shaped version is actually longer than the other because it's setup to move the battery box forward to run 7 cells. So I'm not sure if the same top deck would work between the 2.

A Worlds style top deck is what makes sense going by the holes in the chassis. Even if you found one, I wouldn't trust it actually fitting without getting measurements first. But a top deck is not really necessary.

Mmm..... maybe they just moved the servo ahead looking at it again.

Yea now that you mention it, it looks like everything up front is closer together on the worlds style lower…
