Narrowing rc10b3 frontend

Post by fasteddie911 »

I am thinking of a project using a rc10b3 I picked up. I measured the rear width at ~225mm, from the outside edge of the wheels, and the front at ~245mm. Is there a way to narrow the front to match the rear width? Moreover, is there a way to do so while converting to 12mm hubs?

The 12mm hex conversions generally add some width. You can find a pair of b2 or I think b3 carpet arms are also shorter. The b2 arms would narrow it up like 6mm total. Not sure on the b3 carpet arms. Otherwise there are other buggy arms you can try. That would be the easiest.

I know nothing but are steering arms the same front and back, ie move backs to the front. Or is the difference due to any other part. Dogbones are theoretically the other part to move.
As I said , I know nothing

Have you tried B4 (bearing) front wheels?
