What he said

Great!! thanks Fellas for all the help. I am still waiting on word about the front tower. I am ready to finish her up but I am tired of putting it together and takeing it apart. so when all the parts arrive I will get back on it.

Jay dub's Worlds tower came in today so work will go on tomorrow!! I cant wait to see what its going to be like done.

I currently run my rear shocks all the way in, plus an extra hole. You might try drilling another hole further in (so you would end up with 5 per side total). The rear towers I produce, come with this hole btw. -Jeff

Everytime I put this car back together I see something I forgot to do while a part was off I wanted to file the nose plate back a little for the servo mount to sit flat and forgot again. oh well makeing alittle progress its coming along. I really like the new towers. I am waiting on parts again. that really takes the wind out of my sails on a build to haveing to keep stopping and wait for parts.

do the Yellow wheels look good or Bad? I used B4 blocks and carriers is that going to cause me any problems? and what rear hubs do you guys use with the B4 CVD's?

I know the rod is on the wrong side of the tower I was trying out something. it didnt work

Wow, this is really looking good! Not sure if i said this before, but this build is going to cause me to rebuild my RC-10 old is new.

I am running RPM 70272 RC10T Bearing Carriers with Jake's arms and B4 CVDs.

SonciCJ5 is correct on the rear RPM hub, very easy to find. Also make sure to pick up four 1/2 x 3/16 bearings for the hubs if you don't have any. You won't get far without those.

Car looks great.

Jake

Car looks good Rick! Since you asked, I'm not a fan of the yellow wheels. Maybe because I have to look at coats that color all day long at my job! I wouls probably go with white or blue wheels if it was my car but it looks pretty good that way too.

Rick, I say black wheels and Losi Blue spec tires , gotta get some Losi on it, right?

thats funny, I am fading on this project badly, just cant seem to hold my intrest. I am thinking of selling them both off and putting the money into a XXBK for the Vonats

How long did you leave the a-arms in the boiling dye?

I left mine in for 30 minutes, and they look purple. Going to give another go tonight to see if they can get any darker.

Sonic,

You may want to scuff up the glossy side of the arms if you have not done that yet. The tops and the bottom of the material have a high gloss during manufacture and it may make the arms dye funny. The easiest thing to do is use a scotch bright pad and suff them up good. They will dye perfectly.

If you have any other problems with them, let me know in a PM.

Jake

Scuffed up the arms and they came out great!! thanks!

I really hope this car is still getting the attention it deserves .

c'mon rick, it's unreal keep going on it. you have enough losi's already

great car and a great price Rick. If I didn't have too many myself........best of luck with the sale and everything else.
