Also...

Noticed that one of the RMP cups seem to be too tight and is causing friction. Any suggestions on how to shave the inside? Just sandpaper? I just don't want to shave too much!

Comical end to my night doing this build... I'm doing the shocks and on the step where I am pouring the shock oil. I have a few others but I am (was) using the kit supplied bottle. When I unscrew the cap, I look at what looks like a hole at the tip so I am thinking to myself "great! it's alread...

Thanks!

That's what I did. Actually turned out that the RPM ball cups only come with enough for the camber and outer steering only so I couldn't have used it for the inner steering too. Funny how all of this stuff just works out....Moving right along!

I think for the center link you are OK, but for the ones next to them- the inner steering ball joints- you will want to use standard ball cups. If you dont, they will have clearance issues with the inner camber link ball ends. As far as dimensions go, you could download an old RC10 Champ manual (no...

Wow, that was a quick and probably successful run for Amain and Hobbytown. From talking to my LHS, they believe that AE did the run just for them because they never even heard that the Worlds re-re was available...Glad I snagged one.

Took me 1 hr to do this one step because......I'm a dad! haha...My daughter kept asking me for help while doing her project next to me (snap circuits). http://i.imgur.com/LL5KaOA.jpg Have to say, the RPM cups look a bit out of scale for the steering turnbuckles. Because the RMP cups are different si...

Yes, thanks guys!

7665 is the roll pin and I was not prepared for the amount of force I needed to push it in. But all is good.

Yes. So I decided to hold off. I'll continue to break the transmission. The new slipper hubs did the job. Everything works now! Boy, this build is taking forever! It was one of the 2 kit hubs that was deformed so now I have a backup. But AE did me good, I am happy they took care of me. Now...moving ...

AE is great! I never got confirmation that AE was sending me 9601, just that they were going to send me a new slipper hub. But they did! http://i.imgur.com/4O3mFzj.jpg Left 2 came from AE, very grateful and a very good impression for this first time customer. The right package was a separate order f...

Well...Since I am (sort of) at a bump in the build I decided to order some hop ups!

I ordered the RPM cups, Lunsford Punisher TI turnbuckles, their wrench and some weights to put in the nose area....

Sooo...AE is sending #7485. No word on the transmission/top shaft query though...I had to send link to my video to convince them. But good response nonetheless. We'll see what they say about my trans issue...

Looks great! Very nice to see finished projects...I'll get there eventually.

Hi, Stick at it, you will work it out! I edited my previous post, I thought the B4 used the spacer to get the spacing right, I was wrong! Have you worked it out? Flat too long on the top shaft and a collapsed spring? :) Definitely not a collapsed spring, I don't think..Waiting for AE to get back to...

Yes, thank you. I think I found the issue. I know and was prepared for all of this because it's been well documented by other Re-Re builders. Still annoying though. I understand DaveM's suggestion as I've read about that too, though slightly differently because the trans case is different. For this ...

To be honest, the holes look right if looking right through the barrel. I think the problem is very minute. Boy did I try though.

I emailed AE (again)..They'll know me by the time I finish this build!

Thanks for your help. At least I can continue on the build while I wait for this..
