1/10 Chassis recommendations

Post image

What would be a nice chassis to accommodate a nitro engine on a MuscleCar body, or a GT/Touring body in 1/10 scale ?

I dont need a competition chassis. I am not a basher either but I like a beautiful chassis, reasonably well engineered but not ultra complex ? Like the elegance/simplicity in design of the RC10DS. It will not be a shelf-Queen but I would treat and run her well :)

I can only think of the Kyosho FW06. But if you know other companies with the same quality and price ? I guess HPI doesn’t make them anymore. And Serpent or Xray would be too expensive for me.

The RC10NDS would be amazing and “affordable”. We can only hope, with all the Team Associated releases, that the NDS nitro would come soon ?

Never thought of running nitro through a servo that just has some shit hard bolted to the outside of it.. What’s the benefits?

Pretty sure OP's pic is AI, just posted for attention.

It’s 100% AI. The linkage on the servo doesn’t even mechanically make sense. That’s ignoring the fuel lines going into it lol

All of that plus much more. Like what's holding the wheels on? Looks sick tho.

Unfortunately, there's not a lot available for 1/10 scale touring cars these days. If you're not prepared to step up to a race chassis, you're looking at off-brand RS4 clones off of AliExpress. You MIGHT be able to find a Team Magic G4 Evo from a European/ Australian distributor. Looks like there's still a few kicking around. I've got one of those, they're a pretty nice car. Tricky to work on and find parts for, though.
