RC10T Runner
This is my new project, a 10T that I hope to turn into a relaible runner for some practice sessions on a back garden track more suited to a truck than a buggy.
Plans so far are to use GT/T2 arms and CVD`s that I have along with a B4 slipper etc
Any TIP`s or ideas welcome as this is my first T

Re: RC10T Runner
T4.1 Wheels still fit it, as they never changed the offset....so mounting current rubber is cake

Re: RC10T Runner
Great thanks
There are no marks on the tub consistent with the truck being run (Just scratches from ham fisted building) and having just rebuilt the diff I am convinced that this thing saw very very little use if any....slipper pad is like new, gearbox internals were pristine and diff rings were not even marked.
It will make whats coming all the more of a shock for the poor little truck
What is the lowest turn brushless motor that the stealth can reliably handle?

Re: RC10T Runner
I raced my 10t weekly on a super tacky blue groove track with a locked slipper and a 6.5- locking the slipper made it tough on the diff and idler gear but a once a month rebuild made everything good-

Re: RC10T Runner
I will be running on grass/loose dirt without slipper locked so should not be as tough on the tranny.

Re: RC10T Runner
Not a bad days work...amazing what you can get done on holiday from work!
Got all of the major bits fitted: B4 Slipper/castor blocks/steering knuckles, GT arms/CVD`s, RPM bearing carriers and new steering assembly.
Need to figure out turnbuckles and slipper parts + rebuild the shocks next.

Re: RC10T Runner
If your going to use the buggy bellcranks (I do too) then you want to move them to yje front holes in the nose, and secure the nose to the chassis with 8/32 screws and lock nuts-otherwise your steering geometry is off

Re: RC10T Runner
Just changed that...thanks for the tip.
Do you run long or short wheelbase at the back?

SWB rotates the rear end faster and transitions weight faster ie- more reactionary. LWB slows the reaction time of weight transfer and continues forward momentum better ie- more stability.
