I am wondering if anyone out there remembers Team Ugly from way back in time for pan cars? I am rebuilding the missing pieces for the pull bar locking tab and battery tray but I am needing some pictures I can reference.
If anyone has some examples they can post? Thanks!
I wish I did....because it sounds like somebody might be working on that unicorn Ralph Burch Jr. score! If so, I can't wait to see that progress....I'm still blown away by your last Hyperdrive build Zod.....Epic precision! I'll be searching for ya.
nailed it! Yep, got the itch to work on it again. Just not having much luck with examples to go by. I may have to give it a guess and go from there. I was also thinking of leaving the motor the way it is with all the patina on it. Just clean up the internals. I was amazed how smooth the diff was after a good cleaning. Also, I may have to build a Bud's style wing. I dont have any vintage Bud's wing kits. I'll post some progress soon.
Hey Zod....maybe it's just me, but in lookin back on your Snuffy/Ralph Burch Jr. post...it seems there was a battery tray that slid/locked into the aluminum guide rails, tough to see on the b&w burch photos, but it looks like there was a tray on the hyperdrive hanging just over the left side of the chassis.....kinda reminded me of Morrisey's post on his Viper EX-10....not a direct match but....pretty close engineering wise. Hope it helps. https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=48202
Thanks for the link for the Viper build! Sweet looking car and they are not seen often. Ok, now I have a few ideas. I will make a template out of card stock and get it mocked up.
Anyone remember Team Ugly quick battery change from late 80s? They were used during oval racing back then and some were simple but effective for under 3 second battery changes. I need some help with better photos of this setup especially the...
info from Kent himself. was able to get the chassis direct from him how cool is that!!!

It was an enduro car, I probably raced it at the Thunderdrome and Whippoorwill. At AE we made a few custom quick change cars, then went to the...

What do you think about a quick change front end on the RC10?
I made this years ago thinking that if a racer had a few front ends set up for different track conditions (Diferent shock oil weight, springs, tires) then it would be a matter of one...

I would prefere to change shocks and wheels if needed.I cant see it saving any time for me but thats just me :wink:
I got this on ebay not too long ago, happened to come across it by chance, bid really big on it and now have it, really well made and have no clue who if a person or a company made it.
Its so well constructed, just beautiful. I wanted to know if...
JK Racing and I pm'd about this but I want to be sure I understand. I have this RC10B3 I got on craigslist (the sport B3 setup) and I converted it to bearings. I ordered the standard bearing setup which was for the team car but didn't realize I...

my next line mentioned that the need to be reamed. I think they are really 5mm.
Good to know now! I was worried, but thanks. Confirmed this tonight. I got the slightest step up drill bit I could locate and reamed them a tiny bit, and they slid...
i found a few setup sheets for the b3. i'll be giving these to arn0 over at petitrc. if he makes any changes to any or puts them in pdf form i'll update this thread.

More information about the creation of these setup sheets.
The drawings were done in Micrographx Designer (before Adobe Illustrator was around).
The top B3 setup layout was created in Aldus PageMaker (before Adobe InDesign was around).
Here is my setup sheet from 2014 VONATS for the XX4...
I'll be posting some build tips on how to build the car and make it more reliable as well.

They only 4wd Buggys before the xx4, raced competitively, were mostly Yoks & Shueys.
I've noticed how truly rare those parts are. The xx4 still has a ton of parts available, so I think that may have been the reason for the exception.
Plus, the xx4...
