What was old is… still old, but a lot newer (Update 2/20/11)

I don't know of anyone dying them but, maybe one of the other guys have.

Nevermind, I found the answer on dynotechs website. It said there nylon arms are dyeable. So mine are in the pot as we speak.

I know this is an old thread but I just read all 12, 13?? pages and I just had something to say... If you want to have the Vintage "look" the Wheels that are manufactured under the Associated label now (I believe made by Thunder Tiger) that are made for the B4/B44 do have the vintage dish style looks and may go well with a project like this. The fronts for the B4 are still the same though. At tower they say these wheels are for the B44, but they also are the same offset as the B4. I had been using these on my Kyosho RB5 and Lazer FS till we got the new wheels in.

Here is the wheels I'm talking about:

Just thought I would throw that out there... These wheels are much cheaper in price too.

It took me a while to figure out the body, but I got it.... Not a body made to fit the B4... but rather a big buggy body made to fit over a T4 Chassis, kinda like a J82 body, LOL.... I messed around with a stock B4 body for like an hour... word of advice to everyone, it doesn't fit and will not come close to fitting.... You could velcro, heat the sides, rubberband or tape a B4 body and it won't fit.... J82 body will be the body that fits like the green buggy earlier in this thread. Oh yeah, almost forgot... If you have a new one, it might be able to fit over a stock chassis without much more cutting.

Is that a Custom Works Wheel spacer? If so, which one?

hey aeiou,

i noticed the avatar...how is the old but new buggy handling?

[aeiou]

...how is the old but new buggy handling?

Actually, the last time I drove it was handling OK. It was pushing a bit too much and way soft in the rear suspension, but those will be remedied soon as it's currently on the workbench for maintenance. We’ve been running it pretty hard and it’s held up well.

Have you made it to the track with yours yet?

Unfortunately, I have been waiting for the only local rc painter in town to get home to paint my body. He finally came back last month, but then I had to leave town for about a month. Luckily I managed to hand it off to him before I left.

I cant say I have been patient because I started another build in the meantime. You probably seen my RC10 truggy with the Mamba Max in it on the RC10T buggy thingy thread. I am having issues with that one going though gears and keeping the front tires on the ground. So I ended up scavenging up all alloy stealth gears for but builds. I added 2.5oz to the front end, but haven't been home to swap gears yet. I should have it to the track next month though. I keep up dates posted.

cheers

I have referenced tis thread many times to build a newer runner but was there ever a complete parts list made for the build? This would really speed up the build time if I knew where to buy the parts

[soniccj5]

Motor'n, if you have not already found it, here is a great thread with parts used along with different configurations.

Hi All,

Happy new year to all, this is a nice thread and place for us oldies but goodies racer who have an RC10. Mine is an RC10 graphite Stealth car. i'm planning to put it into race condition and after reading thru most of the thread im a bit confuse on some of the parts being used? Like for the RPM front and rear suspension arms , is the Klein used is the same length as the one below?

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXEU95&P=7 RPM RC10 Rear Arms
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGAF4&P=M RPM RC10 Front Arms


Also for the Rear 10T Bulkhead Front Shock tower (for long Shocks) and also Rear Shock tower (graphite), where can i purchase this items as i cant find it in Tower? can you post the complete lists of parts used to upgrade RC10 to use B4 (modern Rims),CVD, Arms, with exact link to Towerhobbies? so that i would not miss out or buy the incorrect one.

I already have the link for the Stealth tranny conversion for B4 double slipper but seem to cannot find the link for 10T parts lists and links and other RPM Wide world ARMS (rear/front)???? hope you guys can help me.

Thanks in advance.
