Here's the mockup of the new rear hubs. I decided to keep the original RC10 hub look as much as possible but integrate the B4 offset and larger outer bearing in. Now it's just waiting for it to arrive so I can verify it.

When I've verified that they work, I'll put them together with the rear arms so they can be purchased as one piece. That'll save a buck or two. Just cut them off of the sprues.

My rear arms arrived yesterday! Haven't had a chance to put them on, but they look great.
I still need to pick up some b4 cva's, i already have b44/b4 hubs and bearings.

Fred,
I was wrong about a difference b/t the Original Rear Mounts being slightly wider than the Re-re arm mounts. Apparently, the one set of original arm mounts I have are not the same toe-in. One side is 3deg, the other side about 2deg(eye balling it).
Everything matches up great!

How about something like this? Would be cool to see on a vintage RC10.

The new hubs have shipped. Two weeks is pretty fast for Shapeways. I'll know this week if they work.

my last several orders have been running about 2 weeks. Still slow, but a lot better than 3+ weeks!

For a while most things were taking about a month.

Fred, will also make the hubs separate from the arms? I already have the arms! Also what size is the larger bearing, so I can order some?

Yeah they'll be available separately. I'm just going to also offer them with arms to save a little.

I like this idea. Maybe a full set of 4 arms and the carriers? And a coupon redeemable for a six pack of beer...you know, for while you're installing everything.

I could package them all together. As for the beer, I've been a home brewer for 12 years and hope to one day open my own brewery so stay tuned for that one.
