New to me RC10's, could use advice

[yellowdatsun]

Don't pitch the cut down one, someone could use it for a cut down project of their own.

Finally got all 4 tore completely apart. Took all the dyed parts and redyed them black. Going to use them for my mod/basher car. Probably will use the cut up chassis for that one. The uncut but scratched up a stamp chassis is really bent up. I attempted to flatten it, but I think it's beyond repair. Someone must have been slamming it into a wall repeatedly. I did find some Andys rear arm mounts on one of them and Houge bellcrank steering on another. Both are in great shape. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with those parts yet. I had the Houge parts on my box stock car, but decided to pick up the new release world car bell crank system for it. Basically the same thing, but didn't want any static about aftermarket parts on the box stock car.

[Bottom Feeder]

'Static' from who? Who cares? We can all give opinions, suggestions, and information, but these are YOUR cars. Build them however you want.

[ofnaman]

Sorry, should have been more clear. The box stock class requires you to only use the parts that originally came with the car. I'm already pushing my luck with the rpm arms I put on it.....

[ofnaman]

Made a bit of progress.

I ended up cleaning the crap out of this thing. Had it completely apart. I replaced the aluminum screws and some of the others with brand new, new release screws. The battery cups are also new release. Still working on the shocks, picked up new springs for the rear, and I have some new ones for the front already, ordered a shock rebuild kit for them as well. Kind of going a bit overboard on it, ordered a new release body, wing kit, driver, light/knockoff kit and decals for it as well. As much as I did not want a shelf queen, looks like that is what this will be for now. Still working on cleaning up the wheels/tires as well. May just replace the wheels with new ones.

Now the b stamp. I am using this one as a box stock class car. I replaced the older houge bellcrank with a new release world car bellcrank (servo saver is on the way), replaced the stock a arms with rpm a arms. Body is a jconcepts worlds edition detonator. Did not turn out as good as I wanted. I'm also putting 2.2 wheels on it (as seen). I went through this whole car and checked and cleaned everything. Replaced the shock shafts and rebuilt the shocks. It is getting a tekin 17.5 motor whenever it decides to make its way to me (thanks usps......ended up in Hawaii.....). Servo is a Solar compact model, esc is a hobbyking 60 amp sensored model, and I ordered some super shorty batteries for it. I cannot wait to get this thing on the track.

[ofnaman]

I have the servo taped to the chassis with servo tape. It is pretty secure, do you guys think it will hold up, or should I try to mount it differently?

[JK Racing]

I've always used the mounts included. On my Losi JRX cars, we always servo taped them down. On my vintage runners, I have drilled the chassis and used AE style mounts now though (Losi). All my AE runners use servo mounts.

Question, I see you have the re-re worlds wheels on your racer, did you get the extended front axles to keep the offset correct? It appears you still have the stock axles on there.

[ofnaman]

Still have the factory spindles on it. I have the offset ones on order, they should be here soon.

[jwscab]

Lookin' good all around!

[ofnaman]

Does anyone know if the rear wheel conversion adapters move the wheels out in the rear? After putting the world car adapters on the front, the fronts are quite a bit wider than the rears now.

These are what I'm talking about.

[JK Racing]

no, they keep them in the same place...post a pic up of what your talking about, I am running the worlds all around on my gold pan, they seem fine.

[ofnaman]

Will post a pic when I get the rear tires and mount them. I scoured the Internet and I think it's normal. All of them have the same look. Not having the rear tires on the wheels may be playing with my head a bit.
