Quadra-symmetric RC10

Will the V2 rear arms allow for better cvd clearance?

[JK Racing]

Niki, will you be able to offer the 'kit' form on Shapeways like you have on iMaterialize? Or move the V2 to iMaterialize (and new rear arm mounts too!)

[Niki]

CVA bone clearance improved with V2 arm. To get same amount of droop V2 side needs 2.8mm less limiters inside shock.

Joey, I could offer a V2 "kit" on Shapeways but there are no price advantage. Price is same as "V2 rear arms" + "V2 front arms" + "V2 arm mounts". And polishing process doesn't work well with big kits. Therefore I'm going to offer kit only on Imaterialise. It might take some time because I need to make the tight packed sprue design first and order it for myself. After that I can offer it to you through Imateriase site. That's how Imaterialise process goes.

Thank you, I can wait

V2 parts ready. New arms are much stronger around hinge pin areas and rear arm has a new bent shape.

Thank you!
Also eagerly awaiting the V2 on I.materialize.

Here is how I am now running the Re-Re worlds quadra-symmetric car with the shorty pack forward. Yes it has a broken aluminum *sigh* screw. New motor and ESC arrive next week. The track is prime for slicks right now and I don't want to buy slicks for this car at the moment... Last week I was thrilled to run a personal-best of 20.3 in my B5M. I'm usually a mid-pack guy but I am always trying to improve. Top guys were doing mid 19's... Then Dakota Phend was racing one night a couple weeks back he ran consistent mid-18's on the same layout... really makes you see the difference...

I.materialise will ship first V2 set for me next week.

[Niki]

Quadra V2 front arms, V2 rear arms, V2 arm mounts 3-1 and 3-2 tightly packed... I.materialise made again high quality parts.

Thank you!!!
Now what to do with all my V1 arms :-/

[Jared J]

the one main issue, i find with this, is i just dont trust myself with drilling the holes EXACTLY where they need to be. lol. but im more of a "perfectionist". im just gonna run my car with original parts for now. lol

[JK Racing]

Jared, drilling what holes? You mean reaming out the hinge pin holes 1/8" reamer and be smooth about it. No drilling needed.

[JK Racing]

Niki, thank you. I will need to make an order now these and 10M parts...

[RichieRich]

Great! I'm going to place an order too.

[Niki]

Thanks guys... Jared, just let the part quide tool in your hand, it will be perfect

These are the tools I use:
Good quality 3.2mm drill bit (I use it only for this purpose)
4-40 tap and drill set
8-32 tap and drill set
...and then the usual stuff.

[RC10th]

If anything the drill bit aligns the hinge pin holes better.

The captured hinge pin arms are a little trickier as you have to feel for when your at the end, taking care not to drill all the way through. A piece of tape wrapped around the bit as a depth guide makes it easy if your unsure.
