Thank you Mike!!!

Well i went to take a photo and realized i don't have a stock shock tower and i need won for my Cliff Lett build.

Too funny...thanks anyways.

I have one on the way!

Ok here you go kinwald tower on top of stock tower.

Thanks for this Mike!

Don't suppose you have a re-re World front shock tower to compare it to do you? Sorry, but I don't have any vintage RC10s yet.

I only have the one mounted on original worlds sorry.

Any updates?

Tiny bit.

Period correct chassis showed up and has been cut down. Got the body mounts fabricated from round Delrin stock. My buddy turned him on his wood lathe.



Got the rear tower done all by hand. In theory it should have the same flaws as Kinwald's rather than having something perfect by a CNC machine. I'll just keep telling myself that Got some extra material left over, probably for about three more.



I'm kinda stuck otherwise.
- Having trouble sourcing 2.5mm graphite for the front shock tower, and for some of my other projects
- Need a NIP transmission brace that has all the right holes drilled as I think the older ones have a bit more material where the screws attach to the bulkhead vs. the re-re, although I may have found one.
- Front shocks showed up yesterday and have been built
- Trinity screws and nuts were found, on their way.
- Mr. Reedy motor is coming
- Still need to find someone local to machine the groves into the motor mount
- got some rear wheels 7802 that fit the 1/4" axle, problem is now is that the front wheels are neon white compare to the old school off-white. bang head here. Although the best news is that I found NIP Proline Stubbies!

And for the love of God I can't find white ballcups Order came in from AE, and they were neon blue again!!!!!

At least while I wait I work on my 4wd project......which I'm always waiting in parts for

Hey those 7802 wheels are truck wheels you need the 6805 2.175 wheels.

The 6805 wheels show as having a 3/16" hole, not 1/4" the vintage axles are. Or is there a vintage 6805?

The re-release worlds car wheels have the same part number as the original worlds car. But the re-release wheels are basically b3 wheels. 2.2, 3/16" axle.

Reedy motor showed up as well as my Trinity hardware...woohoo!

So wheels wise, I'm looking now for vintage 6805 rears, and _ _ _ _ part number for the fronts?

6852 are the fronts.

Thanks
