RC-10 WOIN (without RC-10B3 transmisson)

I made some shims for the arm mounts.




Now I need to make an order for more parts.

Is there a special reason why you did that? You would need to install even more shims on the front of the arm mounts in order to keep the rearforward caster angle.

[Mr. ED]

couple posts back David: the outdrives are higher up than on the stealth transmission, which makes the bones squeeze in the cups and limits suspension travel.
I thought the shims were over the whole length of the mount, but after your comment and looking at the picture...it looks like the avise was not well understood.
Personally I would have gone for different axle carriers to bring the lower arms and bones more parallel

[soniccj5]

The shim is the full length of the mount.

[Mr. ED]

very well, just an optical illusion in the pic

[soniccj5]

I think I put the mount on the wrong side ..

[Asso_man!]

I think I put the mount on the wrong side ..

yeah that's what I thought, but you looked so self-confident...

A wise man learns from his own mistakes, a wiser man learns from other peoples mistakes.

thankyou for the lesson

[soniccj5]

Added some paint to my chassis today.

[Mr. ED]

it's hammer time

[soniccj5]

Spent about 30 mins outside last night with the grill a loaf pan and rit dye. My yellow parts are now black .

It is almost time to assemble everything. I just need me tower order to come in.

[soniccj5]

Looking more like a car now.

[soniccj5]

Just need to pickup some blue loctite tonight and I should be able to get it running. I wont have time to paint the new body, but I plan on running my original RC-10 body from back in the day

[soniccj5]

Well it is together and ready to run.




Got a new body waiting to be painted.

[Mr. ED]

ha, looks great, kind of mean; like the underdog that's gonna pale the local bullies
