Ok transmission refitted to car:


Decided on the shiny CVD's as I prefer them, also went with the shiny turnbuckles to match the CVD's. Also caved and bought some blue hub carriers!

Heh that's two of us then. I see a blue label and a yellow label, which one goes with which for you? My blue label = white as white, yellow label = creamy natural.

So I have some rear 5 spokes that were NIP and colour 'natural' but they are actually as white as white can be, which is what I want. I bought some 'natural' fronts to match but they arn't white, they ARE natural (creamy) colour. Both were NIP so I'm confused as to why one set are white and one set ...

Thanks for the info, VLA and XXX hadn't been thought of by the time I stopped racing.

Just noticed that my rear arms have two outer holes and three for the shock location, any idea why? I take it I need to use the inner for hubs and the middle for shocks?

If only that one on ebay wasn't the short one

Oh and I have ordered a new front shock tower. I like the Trinity blue flake one but many of you seem to have them, so thought I would be a bit different and more boring and get a Fibrelyte one instead. Coming from many years of rallying I am a little partial to some good old carbon fibre

Rebuilt tranmission and cleaned casing as much as I can: http://i.imgur.com/55TZXVt.jpg Motor plate is nice and clean here: http://i.imgur.com/Rxvhw4D.jpg A few scrapes underneath but not too bad: http://i.imgur.com/u3BLDfT.jpg Rear shocks and arms fitted: http://i.imgur.com/JygDRRx.jpg http://i.img...

Excellent, I'll go for it then

Does the shaft need modifying for the B5 slipper or does it all go straight on?

Thanks

The standard double plate slipper that came as standard on the Kinwald is perfectly adequate to handle modern brushless power... its the same design as what was used throughout the production of the XXX.. & hence, is what was fitted to my Mid-Motor XXX CR2 :wink: Regarding the chassis - it wasn...

This looks mega clean, very nice indeed. You should race it vintage, it won't get too bashed up if you choose your surface

That looks like the one yes, I'll go for that one then thank you.

I'm thinking perhaps someone cut the bits out so they could use them to clip wires underneath or something.

Looking good, nice work.

I think I fell into the same trap from the same (ebay?) seller in regards to the RPM blue rod ends being too short...

Keep up the good work, looking good
