juleo68 176 Posted February 9, 2020 I am going to present you in this subject, the restoration of this chassis...A team Associated RC10LS (235mm) It was bought in the US, he's not very good-looking, the chassis is twisted, broken... it won't run like this! This chassis will be fully restored to make a runner... As is arrived! The T bar, motor pod are twisted, bumper is broken and the dumper is not the good one! The underside isn't much better...! @+ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACCEL 2014 Posted February 11, 2020 Wonderful, so the MDF was ridgid templates most excellent! that chassis is what that car saw in its future when it was being manufactured in the beginning, and it knew it would end up in your laboratory to be a greater car. 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
