Hi guys -- what's the width of a 1980s gold pan chassis tub at its widest point? I just need the width of the chassis tub, not the width from wheel to wheel (tub only).
I'm in the middle of a long restore project. I have been working to get a Graphite back to race condition for the VONATS and now I'm thinking I want to go with the Gold Tub.
Am I just being stupid and bored?

Hit a snag. Need to buy a drill guide for the stealth tranny. I'm liking the swap so far.
What are your thoughts about the graphite chassis compared to the gold tub? Which is a better racer and why? I'm in the thinking phase of possibly building a graphite chassis RC10, but would like some insight scoop on how it compares to the gold...

I'm new to the forum and to the gold pan car. I have a chance at getting an original B chassis car. The seller has had this for quite a while and has sanded down the chassis and painted it. He wants $75 for it. I want to re-build it with a gold pan...

As far as coveted for me, I covered that early on... only aluminum tubs for me.
I must have been going through a dumb phase in the early 90's. First I totally strip down a RC-10 buggy down to every nut bolt and screw for no reason at all, and next I engraved my initials and Social Security Number on the side of the Gold Pan. Is...

Steve it gets better. In the late 80’s or early 90’s all new Arizona Driver Licenses used the Social Security Number as the Drivers License. Several years later Arizona realized that wasn’t a good idea, and re-issued new licenses without the Social...
Ok so here's what I'm looking for. I'm in need of some support for the front nose plate of the car. I had the original body brace tubes on the car, but due to a little mishap with a cement parking block, they broke and the car looked like a potato...

Well I can thank faulty wiring in the BEC circuit plug that connected to the radio. The glithing finally stopped as well because of that and new capacitors on the motor. I took the car to a 5 foot talk gravel pile at a local construction site and...
