this is a get some aluminum and cut a chassis and upper deck from it project, its alot of work but if its what ur really wanting then it'll be worth the trouble. it sounds like a cool project.

Look in the HPI Official MT2 thread. I started posting what I was doing and some pics on page 798. I'll be updating as I go along if you want to check it out.
Good luck!

RE: RC10GT2 extended frame
I usually buy carbon sheets from CST (http://www.cstsales.com/index.html) and make my chassis out of it when I am doing prototyping or custom applications. It is expensive but comes out light and strong, but the first step is to make the desired template out of a piece of cheap aluminum or tin then transfer it to the carbon once you have all your placements and everything the way you want it where you don't waist the expensive carbon with mistakes, you can even make your prototype first out of a fiberglass sheet then take it to the stronger carbon.
