Alluminum & Carbon fiber Build Update

This is what I have so far. I updated pics on page 2. kind of messed the order of things up.

I'm watching this come life. This is going to be a sharp ride!!

[hawgfanman]

Very nice! What is that rear bulkhead you're using?

[scr8p]

Andy's

Gonna be shiney! Are those Pargu rims?

This looks pretty cool.

[myfordcnc]

Ya those are Pargu rims (sans holes) and Andy's bulk head.

Having some trouble with it though. The Carbon RC transmission brace does not fit the bulk head. The hole placements are off in both width and length.

I'm leaning more towards the transmission brace being the culprit. Perhaps I'll try to find an AE CF brace. Also I don't see where one would mount the tubes for the wing. I think this might actually be for a truck.

Shiny=better

For the wing I'd pick up a pair of polished aluminum wing mount stubs made by companies like Bud's and I'm sure others. Maybe someone can post a pic of an example. If not, I have a set at home I can post a picture of. They mount to the back of the rear tower. They'd add to the theme very nicely.

That's going to be a bad looking graphite Cant wait to see the end result.

I tried my andys bulkhead for fitment and found it was fine for width and length of the brace but the height was off by 1/8" or so. Easily spaced. Sounds like you may have an incorrect brace.

The Andy's bulkheads are the same height as the early RC10 bulkheads. You'll need to use spacers between the bulkhead and the transmission brace in order to use a Stealth transmission.

Looking forward to seeing this one when it's done.

Will do on the spacers for the brace. I'd love to see one of those alloy wing mounts.

Sorry, quick cell phone pic. The wing wire sticks out the top and is held with a set screw. They stick out straight behind the rear tower.

I am using it with a 6 gear and it "s" shaped the plastic brace before I realized it was not fitting properly

That's what i noticed as well, never actually connected it to the transmission its self. Just the bulk head. Chris (of rogue element) mentions mapping his parts that he reverse engineers. Probably using one of those fancy Mittotoyo measuring centers or the like. With out some thing like that I could see that errors could creep in overtime.
