Siebenelch's awesome Vitec thread

[Mr. ED]

JConcepts, Rulux wheels in white or yellow, they come by four

mm, david, are we talking about the same wheels here?
I don't see any Jconcept wheels pictured in this thread.
I think he's referring to the yokomo wheels on the latest vitecs

They look alot like the rulux wheels but not quite. These are some real good looking machines. I think I really like the 'stretched slammed' look . Along with the 'everything' with 'em they just look cool. I don't think I could run one like that...would have to be my first shelfer .

Cool thanks....

Are these dyable at all?

They are for the B4... what modification do I need to do on a gold tub to mount those?

Cheers...

Actually That's right... I was referring on those. But the Rulux wheels are also very cool if they can be mounted on a god tub...

the rulux wheels should be a lot easier to mount on your gold tub as they follow the imperial standards while the yokies are metric.

[AYKBOBCAT]

OK good! So is it a relatively direct fit or do I need to use some B4 parts to mount the rulux?

[Asso_man!]

yup, sorry for the confusion I thought I was in this thread where you can find all the answers to mount the Rulux wheels

[AYKBOBCAT]

OK thanks... I had seen this threaqd but a while ago. It's more clear now...

[Mr. ED]

Ah! Time to stir this old post up:
Today I suddenly realised I've got nearly all elements to make the later version of the Vitec: MX-4 suspension parts and wheels are covered, the chassis with kick-up should be possible with that new thermo-formable graphite stuff from germany.

But relooking the thread I see the stealth of the MK1 is replaced by a B2 transmission on the car with MX-4 arms... what a bummer.
I've got this stealth gearbox ready ever since mikedealer came up with the plan to build real racing tuber chassis, but no B2 transmission.
Michael? Did you ever fit the vitec with MX-4 arms and stealth box in some intermediate stage?

[FasterLouder]

I was out of the hobby when this car was released,this is the first time I've seen one-it is the coolest thing I have seen in quite some time!
Beautiful,beautiful craftmanship,Michael! You have every right to be proud as punch of your creation.
Someone re-create one,or two,or three...

[bearrickster]

very nice

[rcfred]

Sorry we could have some more detailed info in this version?



I understand that the frame and all carbon parts are self-made.
Transmission? Associated?

Look differet to that photo


The arm supports, front and rear, are self made ​​and anodized blue?
The battery tray remenber me somethig like Trinity... ?

After seeing a photo of it I was thunderstruck!
I have to make one!

[mikedealer]

the f/r arms, f/r hub carriers, and steering knuckles all look yokomo mx4 to me. hubs too, 6 screw

[rcfred]

Yes I know... the shock are from a MX4 olso.
But I think that the transmissions are different in the two photos the first one is a Asso...

I would say that both transmissions are from a B2, in the second pic, the motor guard looks different.
Shocks are from a RC10T.
