Re: RC Top Faux CAT 10
Next decision is 1/4" CVD or 3/16" CVD. For this build I'm leaning toward 1/4".

Re: RC Top Faux CAT 10
I also need to decide which gearbox is going in. I kind of think the new Factory Works / JC Racing hybrid gearbox would be the right setup, but have to think about it a little more. For now it's at a stopping point.

Re: RC Top Faux CAT 10
I have a nice 6 gear that has needed a home for a while. This chassis feels like the right one for it.
I didn't realize the AYK Buffalo had laydown rear shocks like this. I think I need to update the name to the Buff CAT

Re: RC Top Faux CAT 10
Got my bearings, in both axle sizes.
. .
I don't use the jelly bean wheels very often, but since I have a nice set and the tires from my CC kit the 1/4 axles will get used in this build.

Re: RC Top Faux CAT 10
Now just the need to decide on a body.
. . . .

I think this Penguin body is going to be the right choice since it's meant to end in front of the rear shock tower.

Re: RC Top Faux CAT 10
I like the low slung sawed off look of that body, great candidate for this build……
I’d say to figure out a paint scheme that shows off the lay down front shocks maybe either clear or trans candy. It would be a shame to cover them up.

Who do you race for ?
Me……. I race for me.
That’s impossible, I was told you need a sponsor to race.
Hey Cru ! Go balls out

We are thinking similarly on the paint scheme.MarkyDents wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 5:58 pm I like the low slung sawed off look of that body, great candidate for this build……

Body is trimmed and fitted. Rear body mount was moved forward a little over an inch and a new gearbox brace was added.
