New project Rc10 graphite Race buggy
Is just about finished parts from all over the world looking forward to getting it in a race heat 2016
Just about ready for first run
Not shore on front shock tower came off ebay with a noseplate
Wide front axles why not ? I have wide front axles on my worlds and love the way that drives so thought i try them, do have narrow axles to i have not compared them yet?
Thanks for the comments veeza
Just that those wide axles are designed for putting high positive offset wheels (like off a B4, or Worlds re-re) onto a car not initially designed for them. Basically those wheels you're using don't need them, that's all I'm saying.
Thanks Bottom Feeder i am still learning i did not no the offset was different most of my race wheels and tyres are on rere wheels, b2/b3 and some proline wheels, the hpi wheels are mainly for show they are a bit fragile for racing.
Buggy looks really good, i just bought a graphite off a friend but I'm not sure weather to race it or shelfit, if i decide to run it are parts easy to find. I thought i would ask here as you look to have a runner.
with the re-re out all the parts for this chassis are readily available. Chassis can be found out there, mostly on ebay but they do come up in the b/s/t area once in awhile.

Peace and professionlism.....Kabunga signing off!!!
DemZ hello just as klavy69 said all but few parts are available from Team Associated i have made a front bumper and am looking for a undertray or may make some side pods and put a protective chassis skin. Hopefully will be ready for a meeting in January i will try and do a video of one of the qualifiers. I am not the best driver but been doing ok against newer buggies with my worlds re re Thanks orangemazda had to be black with the graphite
So I started a while ago on this car and never finished it.
The chassis doesn't line up well with most bodies and it got sidelined for a while.
Anyways...
The chassis had been cut/carved where the front arms were touching the chassis on full...

I watch Andy's eBay listings but only see the painted bodies getting listed. I wasn't sure if there was a different retail source with a set price. Wishful thinking.
He had some clear Pro Arrow and Renegade bodies listed a while back.
My usual pusher, oh oops I mean friend who frequents the local flea markets and craigslist ads brought a nice haul to work the other day.
He is not an RC guy, so I offered as usual to clean up / rebuild (and thoroughly inspect of course) the...

This project started when I received a darn nice graphite chassis except for the fact that the front of the chassis had been cut on the ends of the nose. So much that only half of the outer holes for the a-arm mounts were there :evil: So i dug into...

Very nice, ballsy to run those arms though-
I do have a set of the dynotech arms, I may change them. The arms are actually not as nice as they appear in the pictures. Someone took a dremel to the shock area for clearance :evil:
It has been some years since I have posted. I sold most of my cars and custom builds some years ago.....of course I regret selling some of it. Only stuff I have left is in my signature.
I joined Facebook only because it seems like many people moved...

I added a note to the first page.
I switched to CW rear hubs and B44 CVD's.
The bones were too long at 67mm.
I will get to the electronics on this soon.
I'm super curious - how does the graphite tub chassis perform on the track? Have you or...
well Durafix and aluminum rod were a huge epic failure. stuff just didnt flow and didnt stick well.. i tryed a aluminum braze rod with flux also and that was a failure too, i knew when the welding supply place said i needed a oxy-acetylene torch to...
I'm considering fitting hard coated shocks to my RC10 graphite build - the ones which have grey bodies but what looks like black anodized shock caps. Do you guys usually use this kit for these purposes? , or are there others which are more truly...

The correct ones are like these, the darker grey shocks were old stock--they got lighter anno
as time went on, you would need the .71 kit for the front, and the 1.32 for the rear with black
alum caps to be just right, and try to find the white...
