[vandal]

yep gomachv they are indeed lunsford stealth case screws had to grind 2 of em a tad shorter not to hit slipper back tho! V
ps thx for the kind words

[NomadRacer]

Never knew they existed!

Edit:

Do you guys happened to have a part number for the screws? I don't see them on the Lunsford webstore

you want to contact Barb via the website, she can set you up. They are literally made to order, and hand rolled threads. He was making a batch for Stewart Haas last time I was there

[GoMachV]

Yeah, its a beast. Im sure fingers have been rolled before in one of those

Black Out

Do you have any tips on drilling/slotting the tub for the trailing arm mount plates? That step is coming up for me real soon... https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=42537 I've never done that modification!

[GoMachV]

On the two that I did, I found it was easiest to drill from the inside with a tiny bit, as close to the bottom corner as you can. Then make the slot bigger from the outside. You want it as close to the flat part of the chassis as you can, and only 3/32 or so tall, so small bits are best. Just remember you can’t put the material back, so take small amounts at a time.

I bet someone that is really creative could make a jig that holds the Dremel steady against the chassis to cut a straight line

[NomadRacer]

Small carbide bits I have, plenty of them! Iv'e sorta got a plan to do it but was looking for any top secret methods.

[vandal]

i used the same technique as gomachv got it close then used a small file to get the final size..

[vandal]

ok final build update! finished up finally was a fun build special thanks to factory works, and conklin design and of course lunsford racing ! had to limit the down travel of shocks to keep dogbones from rubbin on outdrives and re- cycled a really old body until i can score a new body used some vintage electronics and batteries (when i can swing it they will be replaced with brushless and lipo) for a radio i stole a 2.4 receiver and radio from a losi rtr i bought several years ago:) ok heres the pics thx for reading and looking !

thx for reading and looking !

Looks great! You don’t see mid motor trailing arm cars much! Not since the MRP pro 10 anyway!
