So raised the very last of my parts box and got this far!

This build will be in conjunction with my sponsor Willspeed and will feature some exiting new alloy products we are developing for the RC10

I’ll keep this thread updated on progress of the Willspeed parts and the build of this car!

So as front arms are hard some come by my mate test printed my a set of Andy’s arms of thingiverse

As nose tubes are non existent I made my own!

Some Ali bar off eBay and got the lathe going!

I couldn’t find any rear hinge pins but whilst having a rummage I found some ti turnbuckles were the right diameter, so again to the lathe and made them round and job done!

Nice will keep checking back on this build.

what kind of special parts do you guys have in mind? I've always loved Team Xtreme's MM cars

You’ll have to wait and see! Got some great ideas coming and as you can imagine knowing the Willspeed cars it’ll be in Gorgeous machined aluminium

So finished up my home made rear hingepins and the nose tubes, pleased with how they have turned out

Had a few bits arrive in the post, turnbuckles and 3D printed Andy’s arms

looks pretty cool all around. I would double check those inner upper rear arm ball ends to be sure they don't crash into the transmission, unless you have something special going on there. those inner mounts are preettty far inboard. if those upper links are longer than the lower links you are gonna have some wacky positive camber gain over the full travel.

Cheers, will check that when I get a gearbox in the car, can always drill another hole if not or try and find a worlds bulkhead for it

Or simply use an outer camber mounting hole and a shorter link

Yes that's an easy option!

I prefer the longer links (running on carpet/astro)

What Dog Bones are needed to run 3D printed Andy's arms? Are they from a RC10, a 10T, or are they a special part? And what did he print them in?

Not sure on what he printed them in tbh, as for driveshafts I've not got to this part of the build

Will update the thread though once the gearbox is sorted out
