Hyperdrive H10 super glue special

Thought I would update this build. I wasn't happy with the messed up threads on the axle so I thought, "Hey, I'll take another crack at it" and make a new one.

I took some carbon rod and carefully drilled and tapped one end with a simple drill press jig I had made. I took an old 1" Associated aluminum screw and cut the head off to make the 8/32 stud.

Then used JB plastic epoxy to coat inside the rod and threads and let it set up a bit then screwed into the rod. After letting it cure for a week, I tested and is solid. Installed into the car and centered everything up.

Found a suitable main rear shock and made some Nerf wings and new front bumper. Wired up the ESC and motor. Almost done with this project but will add a few more things before calling it finished

Thanks! May I ask where you located a new chassis? They are very hard to find. I had to create a new CAD drawing for these old cars and submit to Jeff at Factory Works. I recently finished an HPI drawing and sent to him and it came out just like OEM. He does an amazing job! The axle tube can be re made but you have to do a bit of lathe work on it. I don't have a lathe so I had to skip that part. Can't wait to see yours!
