i think it could be the MIP front tower they have

Post by **scr8p** » Wed Jan 21, 2009 2:51 pm

when your in their associated section, click on "rc-10 rpm". that's the worlds front tower.

oh, ok

this looks like it will work with perfect with the Klein arms and 10t bulkhead & noseplate

this is just as much fun and running the things

It will look good. I have a similar car in my build shop right now. I'm still missing a few parts and I have tons of assembly to do but I'll post a pic of my status soon.

was just wondering about turnbuckles...will a set of B4 turnbuckles work, or is their some odd lengths involved somewhere?

Post by **scr8p** » Wed Jan 21, 2009 11:14 pm

as with any custom build, mock it up using old turnbuckles and ball cups. measure, then order the size you need.

that's how i do it anyway.

makes sense

, I guess I'm taking all the fun out of it by asking so many questions. you sure make it cheaper for me though

. so far I only wasted $20 on that A&L tower, which I think I might put in my RC10 graphite. I'm just glad I can finally put mrlexan's stealth tranny to use after buying it from him months ago.

cheers

ok...here is another question, I hope I'm not annoying anyone. Can I use a GT noseplate instead of a 10T noseplate? There are a lot more GT plates on ebay than 10Ts

Post by **scr8p** » Thu Jan 22, 2009 12:01 pm

ya, they're the same thing. just make sure they have the 2 sets of mounting points so the plate can be attached in the short wheelbase position.

also, that made remember that you'll have to drill and tap 2 new holes farther up on the 10t/gt nose brace tubes to compensate for the shorter wheelbase.

will the white rims fit a b3?

I just got started on my old, but newer associated 2wd buggy...here is what I got so far.

I got many more parts to come and a lot more sanding & drilling to do on the chassis

, I even have a few old dyed yellow RC10 parts to dye black

I order the wrong bearings from Avid

, is there a bearing that fits a rear 10GT hub with a B44 rear CVA kit

I ended up with the ones for the RPM hub and B44 CVA

Post by **aeiou** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 9:51 pm

That's coming along nicely, vintage AE.

The bearings you need are 3/16" x 1/2":

Post by **vintage AE** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 9:55 pm

those are the ones I have ... the outside diameter (1/2) is too big for the RC10GT rear hub, I think I need the 3/8" o.d. - 3/16" i.d. bearings for the RC10GT rear hub

Post by **aeiou** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 10:00 pm

Sorry about that - I misread what you typed. You are correct on the size for the AE GT hubs.

Here is an update on my chassis...I got it powder coated black with a added hardner to it, so no more worrying about scratches

and it looks like new

it's come a long way from where it used to be.

I am thinking about drilling some 1/2" holes in it along each side of the battery tray, but not sure yet.
Here are some pics for now..waiting on parts is painfull. I'll post more when I get more done

cheers
