* Update: Finished! * Full Custom RC10 - Part II

Post by dahlelama »

After about a year of on and off work on this project she's just about ready. But she needs something. How can she go to the dance without the right shoes to match all the rest of her beauty? Of all the stuff I have... I don't have any wheels that would be appropriate. So.... I need suggestions... and if anyone actually has some wheels & tires that fit the bill, and that they are willing to part with... I can meet you over in the BST section or via PM's and emails. I've got some good stuff that I'd be willing to trade for just the right set of wheels for this gal.



In the beginning....

Coming together...

A few more changes... RC Carbon Works towers and some misc tweaks

Next.. tires & wheels, servo, motor and ESC... I'd like to finish her up this week.

So what do you think so far and who's got some suggestions for tires & wheels?

Thanks!

Killer color scheme on the buggy and body! Did you coat the trans case in plastic or something? Great work! 8)

Sweet looking car! If that was mine I think a set of emerson's (rc-lohas)rims with red anodized centers and some low-profile rubber would look killer.

I'm thinking simple white dishwheels , maybe with a red accent like the nut.
The car on its own look so welll you don't wanna draw the attention to the wheels.

(And I like a 'down to business' look over bling-bling)

Really digging it, very sharp and well put together. The RPM arms are the only thing I'd change, because the rest of the build makes them look so ordinary! Can't wait to see the final result.

just as a heads up, unless your plan was to have 35 degrees or more of castor, you have the castor blocks on the wrong sides.

@ scr8p - Yup. Noticed that after I took the pics. I'll probably switch the blocks over to black ones anyway.

So what exactly is the finish on the battery cups and tranny case? Did you dye it and then spray it with some clear gloss? Krylon fusion?
