Graphite do-over

Post by shodog »

After building a couple of my other RC10's, I was sensing my Graphite buggy was getting jealous of all the sweet parts I was using on the others. So how best to appease it than to do a refresh with some nice aftermarket parts.

I had originally built it up with a lot more stock parts than I wanted to. The front drive shafts on my MIP 4wd kit are fairly short which means I had to use the stock front narrow arms. becuase I used the stock arms, I used stock suspension parts for the rest of the buggy. Then luckily I was able to score some narrow front andy's arms from Scr8p. Those were the hinge pin for going all out on the buggy. the blue dye was starting to fade so I decided to go all black which looks quite stealthy.

Here is a quick pic

Wow it looks amazing in all black especially now even the MIP parts all match! 8)

I have a couple of questions if I may, do you have a close up of the front arms and a part number for them and the rears? I have been trying to get a short set of those front arms but haven't a reference picture of the ones I'd need.

Finally what is the gearing you have used on the hyper drive? Belt tooth number, pinion tooth number and spur tooth number please.

Thanks a lot for any help in advance :D
