I'm in...I'll try to use all of the parts (except wheels and tires) from the rc10 series.

alright i,m a 1/4 of the way there(so far i think it will pass as a puller LOL!!!!) Who's got a tranny i can borrow!!(JOKING)

I'm about 1/2 way there. I've already figured out how to do everything...I just need to bolt everything up.

There are only 2 parts I need to fabricate to get this thing completed (front hub carrier & extension to mount chassis to front bulkhead). I know I probably went the easy route, but I wanted to keep my build limited to rc10 (10t) parts only. In addition, I need all of these parts for other builds...so I couldn't permanently alter these parts (except for the front nose plate).

I went with the following:
10t arms all around
12 gear transmission....2x6 gear
tmaxx wheels and tires (for now)
reverse rotation motor for the front (I didn't want to cut the motor plate)

I once had an ultima outfitted with clodwheels. it used RC10T tires. I guess it wouldn't count anyway
Don't have pics of it either and it was 2WD. Given up after I realised i didn't have a suitable servo

Edit: still have it but with just slightly larger tires than stadium truck. I compensate the higehr end-ratio by using an 8 cell batterry and a stock 540. still flies.

Highway racer: you could go with a hyperdrive belt conversion upfront if you want to avoid the reverse moter thing.

Or: check out the corally touring car with its 42 teeth diff-pulley. it's the m3 standard so just need to find a uitable belt and pinion pulley. Might be hard to match the eaxact same for the rear part. Maybe a one-way upfront so the front would only be pulling when needed?

nice challenge here
If I had a tub I'd be tempted to join in

Oh, you guys are way ahead of me. I guess I gotta get rolling.

I wonder where high-way racer is gonna put the steering???

Sorry, bad joke.

And a repost to boot (see bottom of page 1)

While we're on these rims.. I NEVER DO THIS but these ones i really need... I'm throwing myself at all your mercy. I actually REALLY need those wheels for a project that is OVER THE TOP... trust me you guys will flip. Would you all mind laying off those... if anyone wanted them? I know its a dick move but like I said i never do this and i figured doesn't hurt to ask. Thanks

I could easily mount it in the stock location if I cut the front (rear) bulkhead. But since I don't want to alter the parts, I will be mounting the stock bell cranks in a slightly different location...one of the pieces that I have to fabricate.

I'll see if I can finish everything tonight.

I am the champion, my fre-end ...

she no work!

BTW you wouldn't BELIEVE the desicions that have been made by me using rock paper scissors

Better? Clodtalk has all kinds of great smilies, I don't know why Bill hasn't installed them here too.

I hear ya on the decisions. Many a time a flip of a coin has made the choice for me. I only use rock/paper/scissors for really important stuff!
