Dave145's gold pan build.

[Dave145]

The car finally has steering!!! It took all morning, but I finally got the RC10 B2 steering on the car. I forgot to buy the nose plate mounting screws so I had to come up with my own and drill the bushings to fit around them.

[Dave145]

Nothing like a hard days work... Full stealth tranny built to both the manual and Cliff Lett's specs, 30wt shock oil in the rear, 35wt shock oil in the front with four fully rebuilt shocks and polished shafts. I'll post a list of all the upgrades/repairs in the next post. The tekin esc and the yokomo motor are just temporary to break in the car while my Castle Creations System is being repaired/replaced under warranty.

[Dave145]

As promised, here is the list of all things done to the car:

- 4 fully rebuilt shocks with polished shafts and stock 2 hole pistons.
- 30 weight shock oil for the rear shocks
- 35 weight shock oil for the front shocks
- 2.2" front 4 rib Team Losi tires on Team Losi dish rims
- 2.0" rear tires (sadly half bald ) Jammin step pin tread
- Gold tuning springs for the front
- Silver tuning springs in the rear
- 1/4" spacers on rear shocks with adjustable collars
- Championship Edition front Shock tower (thicker = more durable)
- Polished king pins all around
- New "E" clips all around
- Front bumper off of a Kyosho USA-1
- RC10 B2 plastic steering parts with full bearings
- RPM ball ends
- Titanium steering tie rods
- Rear ESC holder (made from an old battery cup)
- 3/16" MIP CVD's
- Fully Rebuilt stealth tranny
- 4CC Stealth Diff Lube
- 4CC Stealth Black Grease
- New Diff Rings
- New Diff Balls
- New Diff Gear
- New Top Shaft

- RC10 B2 rear axle carriers
- New Lock Nuts
- Rear Bumper off a Tamiya Mudblaster
- Pan car body mount for the rear body mount
- High Downforce Wing

Electronics

- Castle Creations 1410 Sidewinder SCT system with the 4 pole motor (lowest or second lowest "punch" setting to preserve tranny or reduce spin outs)
- Tower Hobbies System 3000 Radio with new antenna
- Futaba Magnum Junior Radio with new antenna
- Airtronics Servo
- Traxxas power Cell 3000mah 7 cell battery

To be replaced or added:

- Radio/ receiver may be replaced soon with either a Futaba System or a Flysky system
- Servo should hopefully become either a new futaba servo or a Savox servo
- Battery should be replaced with probably another 7 cell hump pack very soon
- Sway bars will probably be added to at least the rear once I figure out how to make them

More pictures soon!!!

It even looks fast sitting still...

more...

[Dave145]

this should be the last of them

[GAMMACRUSH]

Wow, what a change. That looks great, good job! Now time to go have some fun?

[Dave145]

Thanks its quite a piece. The worst part though is that I now need a place to run it...since we moved to the city there's no dirt like at our old house in the country. I'm hoping to get some money to buy an rc10t parts truck or somethong with a larger stance to go through gravel and grass.

I picked this one up at a local fire sale this past weekend and I'm thinking it will need a little work too....

[Dave145]

I thought that was just some mega image distortion when.i first looked at it. Holy cow that thing is beyond words... Good luck I'd like to see how it works out.

I like the mud blaster rear bumper - cool idea for protecting your rear end. I have grasshopper bumper lying around, might throw it on the back of one of my ultimas.

[Dave145]

Yeah I got the idea when i got tired of spinning out on pavement and slamming the rear corners into the fence poles and breaking stuff.
