"worlds" graphite team car

[scr8p]

here's some pics of my lastest unfinshed creation.......................

this started out as a standard team car chassis. it had some extra holes in it. so, i filled them, then altered the front kickup to accept a narrow front bulkhead.

here's list of what's on it so far:

rpm worlds front bulkhead
rpm rc10t rear bulkhead
dynotech racing front and rear a-arms
andy's pro graphite front shock tower
composite craft rc10t rear shock tower

once i get all of the other parts i need, you'll see why i didn't alter the rear of the chassis for the longer arms. it's also gonna get the low slung siebenelch body treatment when it's all finished.

I'm guessing you didn't narrow the rear due to transmission "issues"...

that would be correct.

Looks great. I need to know though, does the front brace go across the body mount holes or between the suspension pins?

Good question.

Front brace goes across the body mount holes on the "RPM" worlds front end if you like it, but it's not necessary, as there is no room to fit it between the suspension pins. Front brace would defo go across the pins on a '10T...

Nice start Jason! Maybe it's the pictures, but the weave pattern of your chassis seems different from the "classic" Graphite chassis B2 or B3 tranny

Woops, typo, so I left out an 'i", sue me. Mind you, I am an engineer.

I guess we could stop 'derailing' Jason's build thread now.

every thread gets derailed. it's just the way it is.

i think this is an early chassis from a 6 gear graphite car, but was drilled for a stealth at some point. i've never had one before so i can't confirm that. it definately has a much larger weave than other ones i have.
