RC10T to meet ROAR Buggy Specs
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2012 10:31 am
I started building my second RC10 and it is a truck chassis and nose with T arms.
The ROAR width limit is about 9.8".
The front end on my RC10 with buggy wheels is about 10.200" so I need to narrow it down. I remember seeing somewhere on here where someone had machined the inboard bearing side of the front buggy bearing surface to give more back spacing. I believe I may be able to take out 1/8" possibly 3/16" per side which will get me really close to spec.
*Is there another knuckle I can use that can narrow and close the gap between the knuckle and the outer pin?
Regarding the rear T arms, I am going to use B4 CVD's (length should match up with inner pins next to Diff), T hub carrier and make a custom rear arm mount to bring the arms more inboard to go right alongside the Stealth tranny (from a B4). The mount will have a matching square to lock the B4 Stealth in place using original holes so I will not need to drill my original 84 Edinger Chassis.
-Any input on this? I am sure some of you have already done something like this......
Thanks!
