Bad thing is, i cant seem to pry myself away from my ASC B4 to wrench on the TC3! Walking into a hobbyshop nowadays, with all the quality kits available for experimentation, is like walking into a strip club with your wife... all the OTHER options are SO distracting!

Cool Conversion!
Hey guys...I don't run a TC3 but I've seen a lot of conversions to make it a double deck CF chassis. A lot of them look like garage kit hack jobs while others look really nice but cost more than the kit itself.
I was perusing the cuda thread and came accross this TC3 conversion from Crest Racing in Japan (I think) Now this is how a conversion should look. Enjoy!

Yeah bubbles, that's why I like it hehe. Not only that, but it kinda has a nice look about it. Doesn't even look like a tc3. Oh yeah, I wasn't bagging on the Warpspeed chassis either.

i wasnt bagging on the warpspeed chassis either, i was just comenting on how the warpspeed chassis has a wider upperdeck, than the tc3 in the pic, so it should be stiffer
yeah, but who makes it?
and to me, those chassis braces are a dead give away
but it does look nice

The Warpspeed chassis looks really wierd. but the Crest? that chassis that Rod posted was really nice, doesnt really look like a tc3. it really has nice silver parts, instead of the blue.

Well, i am pretty sure that the silver parts are all just the regular blue parts and that guy just took off the anodizing, nothing special.

machined Chassis
Maybe someone wants to take a look at my latest version of the cnc-milled TC3 chassis......

The chassis is done by me. Price is around 90,- Euro without shipping (graphite chassis incl. milling).
