Frankentruck's RC10 SSC10BB (Belted Build)

Post by Frankentruck »

I had this pile of nice parts that deserved to go into a build. Then I finally latched onto an SSC10 chassis after missing one with some nice extras. But what about a black World's cut nose plate.... Hey, Yeah Racing makes one! Why not give that a try? Not everything I need is here (or has been located in my cubby holes :lol: ) but there's enough here to get started.

Found what I was looking for that was tucked away, my Hyperdrive parts. A belt drive transmission seems like a good place for it to get used. So I drilled up my outer hub with 4 more holes so I can use a 3 screw spur pulley mount pattern.

Then I found 2 problems. The Hyperdrive spur pulley uses an 8 hole pattern so I can't use 3 screws, and it also uses the larger diameter pattern. Doh!

So I drilled up my last MRP Ripper outer hub with a 4 screw pattern. Problem solved.

The Trackmaster got disassembled and reassembled with the motor plate on the opposite side, so I don't need a reverse rotation motor because of the Hyperdrive setup.

I still need to put together a pressure spring assembly for the slipper. But for now, everything seems to fit together correctly.

It seems like these Hyperdrive spurs are only intended to be used with a 6 gear hub setup. That just adds to the fun :lol: Also, it sounds really excellent when it spins up!

Comparison with a stealth. The recording kept doing noise cancelling at full power for the stealth. That or I have better hearing than my phone does. :lol:
