This is my latest acquisition. It caught me eye, one for obvious reasons, the purple chassis. Also it is in relatively good condition, minimal scratches on the bottom of the chassis. Yeah, there are a few on the nose plate and the back under the motor, but since this is a one-off (I assume) I figured I could deal with the silver marks showing up through Barney. I need to get cracking on some AE restos (don't start Scr8p). I first need to rid my bench of the 5 Frogs taking up that space. Not sure if I will use white or black parts.... Suggestions?

AKA California Raisin?

Is that anodized or paint?

anodized

none of the above. That chassis is begging for some neon yellow or green nylon.

Now thats an RC10 I would own I like the purple, it would look good with a full RPM conversion

the only way this car will ever be started is if it magically turns into a jrx2.

damn.................... i wasn't supposed to start.

White.

btw was purple anodize an original issue from associated?

there was never a factory purple anodized chassis. someone did that, or had it done. dead giveaway would be motor plate. it's cut, yet fully anodized.

gonna jump on aconsola's bandwagon and go for a color instead of either black or white...just not sure which color would suit your purple anodizing. If it was back in the 80's I would say pink
BTW, is that one of those famous ESC/receiver mounts that doesn't have a ESC/receiver mounted to it?

I am digging the custom bell crank body post combo on it.

Go with the yellow or green dye job !

Race it!!

fiberlite towers and rpm team car parts dyed lavender lol Don

well to make it harder: I would go for black; seen it's got hose nice andy's arms on it already.
Now what I want to know is: what body is the lexanking going to use on this?
