I'll do the tricks on the C-hubs...... pictures soon.....gomachv wrote:How much rake are you going to try? I ended up around 10 degrees on mine, simply looking at what kyosho did with those same suspension components. MIP ran the stock kickup and then brought the caster back at the hub carrier on theirs. Can't wait to see this one come together!
Eventually this car is a modified vintage only.... something definitely is not period-correct....

The other thing that flattening the nose out helped me with is steering clearance. Have you tried to mock up the bellcranks yet?

Re: Project "RC10 Stealth 4" (June 8th, 2014 updated)
I learned a neat trick building the Tigermoth touring car you can take a flat g10 plate, cut to fit, and drill for a bearing. Then, to keep it stable, add another flanged bearing upside down to secure it. Might be a easy method for a low profile ball bearing steering setup

Great job, I like the idea of the RRP idler gear. The original Stealth idler bearings are 9.5mm OD, wasn't it possible to bore out the hole to 10mm and use 10x5x4 bearings ?
Re: Project "RC10 Stealth 4" (June 8th, 2014 updated)
This is a very interesting build. Very cool

I understand what you mean..... but I still prefer to enlarge the idler output holes to 10mm.....then fit in 5x10mm flanged bearings inside out.......this is what I am doing in the rear gear box

Looks like the belt is gonna run in reverse when the buggy is running forward. Is that correct?

Re: Project "RC10 Stealth 4" (June 8th, 2014 updated)
looks good. nice 5mm conversion of the idler shaft. let's get those front hubs and drive axles going!!!!
yes, the belt runs counter to the rotation of the wheels. same as MIP kit.

Wow this looks really impressive. Never would have thought to use an entire Stealth trans up front and mount the case like that. Very nice.

It certainly is!Soncho Ponza wrote:COOL ideas This one is fun to watch
Would it be possible to cut the top off the front stealth to save room? Or would that weaken it too much?
