this project started with a ebay auction of 5 gold pan rc10 chassis (i needed a good gold chassis)

well the lot had the clean factory gold tub i needed and a bunch of cut down chassis as well

so i dug into the parts pin and found enough parts to build a buggy



with this build i started out just wanting to do a chassis that matched the early 90's color style (florescent black light reflective)

well after to many trips to the hobby store while a bit buzzed i came up with this crazy thing

guess it fits the color scheme

Wow, dat's crazy man!  Must've looked high and low for those parts. The colors!
 (Um, the tires.....what kind of buggy is this?)

discgolfer72

it will be run on road with a 3.5 t brushless

and im limited on wheels

it has 1/4 rear axles

i was luck enough to have some old hpi 12mm hex adapters that fit the 1/4 axles

but the lhs had nothing in a buggy rim for a 12 mm hex that would not rub the rear carriers

so i had to go with truck rears made by traxxas


they had some b4 ones that might ahve worked but it would have beeen super close


the chassis lot i bought on feepay was to aquire the chassis on the left

all the rest were cut up like the one on the right




and since i have boxes and boxes of new and used rc10 parts





i dug in and striped one down with my sonic parts cleaner to bare alum
then started the build

all parts got 5 good thick coats of fluorescent paint , then 8 coats of gloss clear engine enamel




since the chassis was cut down and im going to be running the heck out of it with a 3.5 turn i need to fab some chassis bracing






after it was all together i fount there was a lot of flex in the brace on the front where i had to cut off the lip so the body will fit on the car




so i made a trip to the lhs today and found the b4 batt brace and the xxxcr front brace to stiffen up the chassis brace i made

and the car justlooked odd with the huge front and rear bumpers but nothing on the side so i bought the rpm side bumpers (wish they were white)

You have a lot of stuff.... You may have a problem...J/K

discgolfer72

oh yes i do have a huge problem

lol but i quit smoking and at least this keeps me busy while im
waiting to sell arcade games

Do you have any shocks you want to sell? I bought a gold pan roller a while back that's missing a rear shock.

discgolfer72

i do have a few but the going rate is 30-40$ a pair

the old rc10 stuff is getting expensive

i used to buy boxes of parts for next to nothing and whole cars for 20-30$


now your lucky to get a basket case for under 100$

Yeah I've been looking around and the original stuff is really expensive. Probably just going to buy new instead but figured I would ask. I got my roller for $40 and the missing shock is the only issue. Not too bad.
