ya for now till i see what the truck will do .. i havent driven a mid motor car in a long time and want to see it compaired to the T3

Good job on the motor plate. With this being a racer will that alum be rigid enough to keep your gear mesh from changing during hard landings. Just thinking the motor could tweak the plate now that its just a flat plate.

hmm never had that problem with the rc10 over the years ... im going to brace the chassis so it dosent warp but cant see the motor plate warping

Just thinking cause the standard motor plate typically bolts to the rear bumper and has the braked side adding strength. I might be over thinking it but it was a thought.

in the end it is bolted the the trans , thats bolted to the shock tower and on the front side im bolting the motor plate or trans to the mid point on the chassis ... just havent got there yet lol

How is this project going?

I ended up replacing the Dynotech motor mount and going with your idea so I could have a pinion cover..
The track requires it and it has sucked in a motor wire once already.

I used a B4.2 plate I got off Ebay.. It's a thick plate.. No worries..

The only down side I've noticed is the 2 holes that line up put the spur slightly off center. No big deal unless you are running a small spur and pinion.

The old 66t 32pitch spur won't fit under the cover.
I swaped in a B4 top shaft and V2 slipper (planning on getting the VTS upgrade)
All I have on hand right now is an 81t 48p spur and 17t pinion. It won't mesh..

2nd GT chassis is in the mail.. I had to have one for my self

it has stalled right now asim trying to get the b44 up and running .. ya the spur shaft is a little offset in the hole .. you can see in the one pict i had to opwn the hole up and pull it down to center the shaft on the hole .. and drill and tap the 3rd bolt hole

ran into a couple problems with the 16mm shocks that i have to work out

its been sold off on ebay so we can rase enough money to move

Ship it with a note telling the new owner to come here and post the finished truck

already shipped .. but will send a message

good news the new owner might be stoping by .. looks like its found a good home

I'm the new owner of this truck.
I already have a few RC10 / RC10T (I actually have a bunch of vintage rc's) but it's my 1st GT.
I'll keep the thread going with my progress.

Cool , and welcome !

thanks for stoping by
