Dogbone lengths...

[n20capri]

Building a mid motor oin RC10 and trying to figure out what dogbones I'll need. Mounting things a bit differently (trans in a slightly different spot/longer arms etc) so it's not as easy as swapping to a B4 bone for example (or maybe it is idk their exact length).

Making my own rear arms so I can tweak the size to a point but I'd like to be about .6" shorter than an RC10T bone or about .5" longer than a stock RC10 bone...As you can tell they are my only references...lol.

I'll assume bones are measured pin center to pin center? If so.......
RC10T - 3.24"
RC10 - 2.2"

So I'm looking for something in the 2.65" - 2.7" range...
(I'm certainly not opposed to a different make or model either...but something readily available of course...)

Anyone have a measurements on a bunch of different bones???

Much appreciated,
Mike

i don't have one handy right now, but a b4 bone might be around that much longer than an rc10 bone.

tower, whether they are correct or not, lists lengths in their tech notes.

b44 rear cva's are a slight bit shorter. (b4 cvd's on top)

I saw that and standard B4 bone (not the cvd bone) - listed. CVD bone is 2.75" and the standard is 2.5" - just seemed a little short compared to the stocker...so yeah idk how accurate it is.

Also, would the regular bone and the cvd bone vary 1/4"??? idk that either...lol

i could see a b4 dogbone being shorter than a cvd bone. i don't have any to confirm that though.

Hopefully jwscab will be able to measure something for me...

Anyone have a chance to measure anything? Specifically the B4 dogbone?
Thanks
