There are two different lengths of axles for these CVD’s. There are the short two “stripe” and the longer three “stripe”. I used the longer axles as pictured which allowed me to shim the inside or outside of the hub as needed.
I actually used new Kyosho bearings front and rear. They are the exact same size as the Radiant ones.

The CVD’s I used are for the rb5/lazer and I used matching Kyosho 12mm hexes

Very cool project! I love the color! This is powder coated?
I am also working on one and was wondering about which CVD and wheel setup to use. You mentioned Kyosho axles. Did you use axles and wheels for the Optima?
Very cool buggy!
Excellent thanks! Did you have to change the bearings width or they fit just right? Thanks for the info, that really helps.
i'm a few years late here, but this is a great build. thanks for sharing this and providing details on parts used. I'm working on getting my well used and loved Radiant back to running after sitting in a box for 30 years. i'll be doing the diff mod as well as making a custom top plate and hopefully addressing the poor steering response.
you have set a very high bar, not only is it functional, it looks fantastic.
Hey guys, I’ve seen some cool T2 based buggy builds including Scr8p’s RC10 1.5 builds. I thought it would be cool to build a car as if Associated had designed the RC10 championship edition 1.5 version. So here it is.

Looks like a cool build. I have started and disassembled/abandoned 2 of these truck conversions in the last year. I'm currently on my 3rd one and we'll see how it goes. I really like your choice of tires. The big knobbies look very correct on these...
Hi,
I have been collecting the parts for this build for a few months now and have only a few more parts to find so I thought I would build it anyway.

Thanks heaps. Looks like all the good bits are gone but I sent him PM anyway.

Highly inspired by JHarris and his modded up Pro Radiant - I decided to do the same/similar.
First off - I have always yearned deeply for a Pro Radiant, they just looked so damn cool. Saw one ONCE at a race track - only in magazines and kits in...
I've recently been bitten by the Tamiya bug. I just ordered 3 more kits last night from Tower! Builds on those to come later.
Here is my Wild One I just finished. Customizations include:
Fast Attack black roll bars and nerf bars

Nice work....I really like the FAV black roll bar and nerf bars because they match the chassis which looks more scale. I think the gold wheels look cool and different but I think your idea of black rims with white lettering will look better or at...
Here’s another one of my current projects. A custom anodized Javelin.

I got some red paint for his gloves and white for his suit. I’ll get some better outside pics when the driver is installed and when it isn’t raining sideways for 2 weeks straight.
You need to paint a lexan driver that looks like The Stig (i.e.:...
