Headling’s RC10 no5, Willspeed special!

[Headling]

Made a start on it and the front ends pretty much done now

Added one of my nose weights I make to the car, looks bling and will be a great addition for the Astro/carpet racing I do

[Headling]

Back end is back in with the B4.1 geared box fitted

Looking forward to trying this on carpet and not wrecking stealth ball diffs

Very nice indeed! Looks great.

[Asso_man!]

Here is the car, fitted a longer front tower as the B4 shocks are longer than the stock team shocks

Part of the problem here is that you used long Andy’s front arms which were designed before the AE long front arms and are supposed to work with the smaller 0,56 shocks and stock/original shock tower.

Thanks, it’s working ok now with the taller tower but it would be better with some other front arms on it

I may check thingiverse out or klein arms perhaps

CE or Worlds arms would be a more direct fit. RPM arms fit as well but have gotten a little pricey.

The Klein arms are for the 10T style nose and bulkhead. I'm actually getting ready to order a set.

Ah ok cheers, yes got a couple of rpm sets on my other RC10’s

Shame no one makes dynotech style arms from delrin in the normal worlds dimensions for the stock nose/front end

As it happens, I've been spending time the past couple days researching WOIN in preparation to build one for myself. I'm planning to make my front and rear arms so I have a slab of 8mm delrin in the post headed my way. I just read your comment which has prompted a couple questions.

So you're describing an AE worlds (or CE) arm ("normal worlds dimensions for the stock nose") but in delrin or do you say "dynotech style" because they include some additional design feature not included with the AE arm? Maybe accommodation for B4 wheel and/or improved shock mount locations perhaps?
I've never actually held Dynotech arms, only seen photos, so I'm trying to fully comprehend the differences between them, AE, Andy's and RPM arms.

I have found this post which is extremely helpful

Hi Doug, my comment was based around make some front arms similar to the rpm arms out of delrin, I like the rpm front arms as they have more shock positions than the Worlds front arms

Look forward to seeing what you knock up out of your delrin

[Headling]

So the car had a bit of a gap between the chassis and the gearbox so made up this lexan cover piece up and bent it up with a heat gun, finishes off the rear end

[Headling]

Fitted up some rear wing mounts and drilled the tower, i ended up using kyosho zx6 wing mounts as had a set in the box

Installed the radio gear, just need to mount up some tyres and sort a body shell out and we are done
