hi guys .

this is my project im on building iv cut the chassis down drilled it and painted it im gona put 2 bars down the middle for strength. parts on order b44 cv's rpm gt rear hubs and toe in blocks rpm front carriers not to sure about the tranny ive got a mip but its got no slipper on not to sure about the shock to would be great to use a set of big bores like whats on the cat sx2 thought of a set of rc8 shocks but they to big any suggestions .

Loving that! Is the chassis sprayed with that 'crackle' finish paint?? - looks great

No its a fine texture paint what i spray real car bumpers with at work .

ive got the mip tranny rebuilt and in .does any one no which slipper i can use on this. the rear robinson racing rear blocks are in now i need to drill the alloy poles what go down the middle and get them fitted.

Robinson racing rear blocks

Is that the rear suspension mount ?

yes thats what it said on the packet.

I guess they are discontinued like everything else

yes they are. there is a pair on ebay .

Well its almost built ive got the 10t steering on so its a bit longer im gona get a pair of 10t front axle to make the front a bit wider . It took me two goes with the alloy tubes down the middle the first pair were a bit to thin so i decided to go with the fatter ones ive flatend both ends so they fit better just need to fit the battery cup for the lipo. The rear ive got a mip tranny robinson racing arm mounts b44 cv's b4 hubs the lest is on the right and right is on the left so the ball ends and rods sit straight the cv's catch a tiny bit still waiting for a new pair of out drives . am gona try and fit a stealth top shaft in the mip tranny so i can use a slipper but il have to change the cog from the mip shaft to fit the stealth shaft not sure what to do yet .

Is it these hubs ?

9584


and the rear CVA 9756 for the B44


with RPM buggy arm's 70542


Just want to be sure b4 I order any parts

The Stealth top shaft will not adapt to the MIP tranny, the pitch is metric in the MIP and imperial in the Stealth. Anyway, if you plan to run it, I would really consider buying a used/useable Stealth tranny, easier to get parts for it, easier maintenance and definitely better performance/durability...

yes them are the bits using b3 wheels it ends up being slightly wider than the b4.

ive got a stealth lying around . are these mip trannys not up to much .

well the Stealth is directly inspired from the MIP tranny and is, in my opinion, way more better and reliable, especially with today's electronics.

Sweet I can get all them parts from my LHS
So with B4 wheels it would be standard width ?
