Has anyone here performed this modification to the RC10? If so, can you post links to the parts and prices?

I think this would be a great way for those who want to keep the RC10 look but update some of the parts. I plan on doing this soon to my World's car, but I don't want to buy incorrect parts since this conversion will not be cheap. So far, I calculated +$130.

Pictures taken from Facebook.

you don't need the fancy rear hubs or hexes, unless you wanted them. the plastic parts would be perfectly fine. that should knock the cost down a little.

you should be able to find the front and rear hubs as take off parts pretty easily on ebay. for that setup, I believe the CVDs are B44 rears. these modifications are part of the 'whats old is new' line of cars that people have been building for a couple years now. plenty of search material for you to dig through.

bearings from avid are $1.00 each. Jconcepts wheels are cheap for a pack of 4 rears or fronts, so you end up with a spare set. I'd say you might be able to do that conversion, including wheels and tires for less than $100 with some smart shopping.

I assume I will need the 0 degree rear hub carriers?

I'll probably get the more fancy stuff, just will make the car look a bit cooler.

I wonder what drive shafts they went with? I found the B44's to be too long.

B44 rear CVAs. I just wanna lay down the parts for those who want to do this.

Parts I see:

AE rear CVA, B44 - 9756
AE rear hub (alloy), 9864 (0 degree), 9865 (.5 degree), 9866 (1 degree) *
AE rear hub tower (C? in CF), 9873

AE B4 front carriers (20 degree is my suggestion), 6214 *&**
AE B4.2 front knuckle, 9880
AE B4.2 kingpin, 9622 (kit, more than you need)

Unknown parts:

Front & rear alloy hex adaptors
Front axle (B4, T4, SC10?)

* drilled for 1/8" hinge pin
** 20 degree will give the RC10 25 degrees of caster (preferred)

Here's the list I've compiled. I can't seem to figure out the front stuff needed. Not what most may what to do, but you get the idea.

I'm not sure what exactly I need for front end parts - Any parts with links or numbers are greatly appreciated. Or even what car we need the parts from.

that's tim covell's car. why didn't you ask him about the parts rundown when he posted the pics on facebook?

he's a member here, too. send him a pm.

I did ask... lol. I got the rear part down, it's just the front. I was told B4 spindles/SC10.2 front axles, but from the photo it looks like the caster block is different from what the car comes with.

Just don't want to place several orders because I missed other parts.

JK racing gave you the right part number for the 'knuckle'. look at this link it shows you the right axles and hexes to use:

Thanks! Now this makes a bit more sense, I updated the previous posts with the correct parts.

Good, he used SC10 front/rear hex kit (available in plastic as well as the clamping alloy) & SC10 front axles.

I think I have most of these parts already in my spares , but I just placed an order for more wheels/tires for the stock geometery car. Maybe my next build will share wheels with my B5.

Hmmm, I must be the only one who had problems with B44 CVA's with stock arms and B4 rear hubs...

You'll need #7935 .187x.196 bearing and #7933 crush tubes for the rear hubs.

What kind of problems are you having?

You're not. There are more than a few guys that needed to modify the hubs to make them work properly.

One day I will buy a pair of hubs to see for myself first hand.
