And what is it with the Canadians asking dumb questions about holes?

Reggie @ Pop's PC ( he forgot his password )

Any chance we get to bug Reg, we will!

Pop's, did you get your tires yet that I sent you?

What Tierods are those?? RC10B4??

They are B3 era FT. 1.35" & 1.85" with Losi ball cups

Yes Rod, I got the tires ( and the Toonie ) bu tmy 5 year old took the Loonie and the Toonie, and I forgot the tires on my way to NY

Old age creeping up on ya Reg!

which B3 hub did you put on yours Reggie? B4 25 deg. has more kickup than RC10 stock 25 deg. so, B4 20 deg. hub is better for RC10 unless you like understeer

The B4 has a static k/u of 25 deg, the RC10-B3 has 30 deg Static k/u-

The B4 blocks on a RC10 have + or - change depending on the direction they are facing which may be used to change the wheel base or the steering arm location

(20 deg) 5 deg
(25 deg) 0 deg
(30 deg) 5 deg

Reg,

What shocks are you using in both the front and back? I got a set of worlds towers from Fibre-Lyte and RPM arms, so I imagine I would use the same size shocks.

And same length tie rods, which I noticed the length above.

Great thread, thanks!

Those are 1.32/.71's- But it will have .89 fronts ( with .71 shafts ) and 1.18 rears ( with 1.02 shafts ), because of the threaded option. And the Fiberlyte variation would be the .71/1.32//1.02

just so I'm on the right page here, the .71 shocks are the B4 fronts and the 1.32 shocks are GT/T4/B2/B3 rears?

I am thinking it will be easier to search ebay for a set of shocks and not many are listed using the lengths.

The .71/1.32 is the standard team car length. But the rears are the same as the B2/3 and the T-T2/3. The .89 fronts are B2/3/4

I like the vintage racer build you have there Reg. What class will you run? OPEN??

I have always been a much stronger driver in Mod then stock, the 17.5/13.5 classes are so much quicker that I really think that's quick enough to be good.

A bit of an update~ While at my folks place I have acess to my mill So I thought I would show some rear carrier mods to stock B4 hubs And I machined some VLA Losi hubs ( that EA3 plastic is not fun to machine ) just for a possible difference in adjustability And after all this I think that I am going to go with Jeff's setup of the Racers Edge Hub and the CVA

A bit more done, while I have the mill at my fingertips Take one block of DelrinTurn some handles And wala~ Battery retainer

Oh, and of course you knew this was coming Some closer to finished pics-- More to come once some tires
arrive

you stole my idea on that battery retainer........ kinda. mine was gonna look a little different. i had plans on incorporating a servo mount into it.

You kinda had the same idea I did, you were just going to do it a little different
