Reproducing Vintage parts..

[MOmo]

I know many of you are active on RCtech.net as well as here, but wanted to share some stuff with some of you.

Dan, from www.RCProductDesigns.com recently moved his operation here to Oregon and inquired about Vintage parts, and the possibility of re-making some for those hard-to-find parts. I wanted to spread the word to others and have them offer up suggestions etc.

I have some RPM arms as well as the towers, but wondered what else could be added to the list and what you might like to see. I can dig through my box of parts and see what I have to show him in person.


Additional thoughts?

The RC10 bulkhead. I don't think anyone makes one right now. Just about everything else can be found somewhere. Personally, I'd like to see some Houge arms reproduced. I ran my car and snapped one

3 degree rear inner suspension mounts r some of the hardest to come by.

Front and rear suspension mounts and white stealth trans case would be great.

I am going to make it easy... all white parts.

i personally would like to see a "aftermarket style" bulkhead, sorta like a andy's but carved, even a 2 peice would be cool, 1 peice bulkhead, 1 peice battery part thingie lol.

i would like to see a different stealth case also, possible a repro aluminum motor plate.

i think he could make a fortune if he invested in a chassis stamp for alum tubs.

Tires choices with modern compounds, tread patterns, (and foam inserts?) that fit older (1.5-1.9") wheels.

Though its not necessarily a re-make, I'd like to see an Aluminum Stealth trans case.

rear bulkhead is one of the first on my list... repro just parts they dont make,or hard to get.. rear bulkhead,rear arm mount,chassis,and motor mount would be nice...

I agree, we only need what isn't being made anymore, the other parts would not be profitable for them to even consider making.
Those would be the parts I would consider most beneficial.

BULKHEAD PLEASE I'm tired of payin outragious prices for one

My thoughts were that you can at least get aluminum front and rear arm mounts from Atlas. Nobody makes a bulkhead. I wouldn't even mind one milled from aluminum. If someone made a bulkhead, aside from the chassis you could find everything needed to build an RC10 from the ground up.

if you wanted to use a bulkhead without a battery cup attached, you can easily make one from ~3/8" nylon. I have one on a hand built car I have here. I just used another bulkhead as a template.

I can snap a pic if someone is curious what it looks like. EDIT....so I had the camera and the car handy, so.....This is 1/4" thick, which is why that aluminum plate doesn't line up, the plate isn't thick enough, but it's no big deal if you use 3/8". the geometry on this car is really goofy because it's a bunch of mismatched parts, so I needed some extra spacers to push the shock tower out, that's why those two nuts are there. this is mid motored if you couldn't tell.

how about the fiberglass battery hold-downs?

I'm fixing to make a pair of my own... from what I hear they are hard to find and that = expensive!
