When it's finalized I might have to make you a killer deal on one so you can "proofread" it for me

I have been meaning to pop my hotshot apart to install some thorp diffs and a set of tecnacraft wheels. it would be a good time to switch out the chassis.

Looks great Jeff, I am not a Tamiya guy, but this makes me want to build up a club racer for the heck of it!

Here's the final version, just need to round up hardware for the kits now. I'm Stoked, it fits well and very sturdy.
Think the servo horn hole is big enough?

That looks sick. I like it in the black G10

It's a little more stealth it gained a hole for a driver's head and a hole for the body mount, and a traditional mounted servo fits now making the rc10 bellcrank an option. I haven't decided if I like the front mono shock mounts yet, I feel like i need to re-engineer it a bit. The rear mount is perfect.

This is perfection. Makes me want to go out and buy a hot shot gain for old times sake but upgrade it this time.

Just ordered the chassis on ebay .
Can you show a picture of the rc10 bell crank, as I can't figure it out from the pictures you've shown - appears to be only one screw for it and I was expecting two, or have I just missed it?

Thank you going out today
It's one bellcrank, centered. The cars are very narrow at the suspension pivots so dual bellcranks are not needed. I will post up pics later (i am installing new plastics on mine so it will be apart ) but basically to get the bump steer right I installed mine upside down with one thick washer under it. You can use stock direct steering as well.
