I think what you've done there with the hub & steering/suspension linkage is pretty cool, but also think you're at risk of "overcomplexifying" it. And anything that's overly complex is bound to break...there's too many points of failure in that design. Rods are gonna get bent and that alloy ball-cup screwed into the blue control arm end is bound to rip out sooner or later, I'd imagine. But cool how you managed to give it caster adjustability, all the same.
Right ..Well I dropped the chunky 8th scale hub and chose a Jato steering hub in stead
And they are a direct fit, NO slop, just a wee bit tight
they didn't have the steel axle ( easy enough to make, and a set of 17mm hex hub with bearings)
I am sharing photos of my MIP/Tamiya car as last raced in early 1985 in the Open class with a Checkpoint Gold motor. This was my very first RC car with the initial kit purchased from Tower Hobbies. I recall the price being $105.00 minus the...

So I picked up this Team C Racing TC02CST stadium truck rolling chassis. It's complete with the exception of a spur gear and slipper clutch. The style looks very similar to an RC10B6 slipper, where the top shaft has two opposing sides...

well I started working on the motor while I am waiting for my coil over shocks to come in. I used model car chrome foil on the valve covers and the air cleaners tops to give them a nice chrome finish. it sucks you cant really see the air cleaners...
In admiration of 1300GT's 4wd SRB, I'm starting on my own attempt at building a similar car. I figured out a B4 slipper gearbox setup in this thread -
Now I'm mocking things up for the chassis. 2 3D printed replica MIP gearboxes, 3D Printed front...

Its virtually impossible to eliminate bump steer on a trailing arm 4wd car as the steering wants to be in front of the gearbox , whole thing is looking really good .
Does anyone have any Spec Class racing with Traxxas vehicles in their areas going on? Something to pull in the entry level folks?
With all the support of 1-1 motorsports Traxxas has to be selling a ton of vehicles and the LHS is always doing work...

The old Traxxas cars/trucks were awesome. They had a good reputation, but unfortunately just never took off like AE or Losi did. The rustler/stampede/bandit platform too me are basically entry level versions of the old Traxxas race vehicles. They...
Howdy, so I acquired a TRX-T Eagle with a Blue Eagle trans upgrade. My current thought(s) on the matter is/are:
Runner with a mix of vintage and modern/still available/compatible/equivalent parts.....
Like a TRX-SRT-T Condor or something. No Blue...

IIRC there was a white and black version of the idler. For some reason, I remember the black ones being more durable. But to tell you the truth, I never had an issue with the white ones. But I was a stock motor club racer kid.
