Blue RPM SC-10
I finally got around to joining the short course craze. Picked up an SC-10 Kit and a whole bunch of rpm parts. Also added lunsford turnbuckles. The CVD's I've had for years. they started out as a set of shiny bones that were supposed to be for the GT but were mispackaged. I put them on a set of spare axles I had in my toolbox and they fit perfect.
The body will probably be fluorescent yellow/blue in an RPM/AE livery.
Can you have too much blue on one build?

Re: Blue RPM SC-10
forgot to add a pic of the RPM chassis brace/skid plate. I used a set of the blue aluminum servo mounts as it seems like it would be better for mounting the skid plate than the stock plastic ones, besides more blue is always better.

I keep eyeballing these trucks at the LHS. Yours is really nice. Too pretty to drive now!

Re: Blue RPM SC-10
great lookin truck anthony...you can't have too much blue
forgive the dumb question though about the rpm front arms...do you have to use the screwpins? Could you possibly use longer pins with c-clips and a cross brace? I have never liked screwpins....

Re: Blue RPM SC-10
the RPM arms do not use screw pins. They are the standard AE captured pins with short/fat screws inline at the end of the hole to keep them in place. The stock arms use tiny screws offset from the hinge pin, relying on the head of the screw to overlap with the pin to retain it.

Re: Blue RPM SC-10
$26 seems a bit much for such a simple part. It looks nice in blue but seems functionally to be a downgrade. It looks like the rear just wedges under the shock tower, and the front is secured the same as stock. The stock battery holder is adjustable for height front and rear by changing the screw length, and is very secure with 4 mount points.

Re: Blue RPM SC-10
The strap is for a 2 cell standard lipo or standard flat pack 6 or 7cell. It saves on weight and looks cool. It is a bit much in price. More for the racer or if you just want bling!
The store I work for sells it (part # asc9851) for $24.99 CDN http://www.pmhobbycraft.ca/store/product/339866/CARBON-FIBER-BATTERY-STRAP-SC1/
Love your blue RPM SC10!
