1300GT's build.

[1300GT]

Small update. Fitted a Hitec mini servo and an ORX receiver plus got my hands on a Hobbywing 17.5 turn Xerun combo. More to come.

[1300GT]

Just finished the RCCA outdrive mod. I thought I'd post some photos for anyone who isn't sure about how it's done. I've already fitted the flanged bearings and circlips in the outdrive gears. Don't fit the unflanged bearings. The outdrive hole in each of the gearbox halves is drilled out to 1/2 an inch. The brass rings have an inner diameter of 3/8 of an inch and slide over the outdrives and stop the outdrive gears from floating sideways. You only want them wide enough to let the 3/8 by 5/8 outdrive bearing seat properly and allow a minimal amount of sideways clearance. The 2/56 screw in the left gearbox half stops the outdrive bearing from working loose. The right hand bearing is held in by the motor plate. Any questions just ask.

Brass rings fitted.

Gearbox halves together. Note the bored out outdrive hole to clear the brass ring.

2/56 screw and washer fitted.

I'll be adding a Jammin Jay diff assembly soon.

How wide is the brass ring ?

How wide is the brass ring ?

The brass rings are 2.55mm wide.

[1300GT]

The wheels are now dyed and fitted. With the black wheels it has more of a Boost look to it.

Cool build
I like the colors.
What's your thoughts on paint scheme for the body?

I'll be painting the shell using black, white and orange Faskolor paint. Maybe like this.......

It won't be an identical paint scheme but something similar.

since you're going for more of a boost look, i would look for a full set of these in black, and pick up a set of yokomo rc10 adapters. have to get some old school tires too.

Thanks for the tip Scr8p. Those wheels would look just right on this.

[1300GT]

This is where I'm up to on this. The Xerun system is in and everything's working like it should. I spent some time rearranging everything in the chassis. So much crap to sort out. This is about as neat as I could get it. Just waiting for AE to release the new steering set. I'm off to start the body.

That looks awesome!

1300GT your orange is inspiring my next build

[Percymon]

Fantastic so far - love the tangerine arms.

Can't wait to see the body done

[Westcoast10z]
