8rads first RC10 build.
Re: 8rads first RC10 build.
So I got everything but the front shock tower and the tranny gasket but that is not an essential item so I am going ahead with the build.
These are the FT parts I will be anodizing, you guessed it, RED!

Re: 8rads first RC10 build.
I admire your build restraint, personally I can't help myself so I dive into it immediately and build/upgrade items at will I'm looking forward to seeing this build finished

Re: 8rads first RC10 build.
What's the typical shipping time for Fibre-lyte parts? I ordered from them and the tracking number shows they got into the US on 2/7 but I still don't have them. Seems a bit long...

Re: 8rads first RC10 build.
It took 18 days from the time I placed my order to the time my parts were delivered from Fibre-Lyte.flipwils11 wrote:What's the typical shipping time for Fibre-lyte parts? I ordered from them and the tracking number shows they got into the US on 2/7 but I still don't have them. Seems a bit long...
Re: 8rads first RC10 build.
18 days seems about right. To be honest I dont remember. I do remember my wallet groaning when I placed the order though.

Re: 8rads first RC10 build.
Ya, I made sure I ordered extra stuff for a rainy day when I placed my order... The waiting sucks... Bout the time you forget you ordered it, it shows up,
Re: 8rads first RC10 build.
One of the parts of this build I was dreading was cutting the under tray but it is done. The TBG under tray fits pretty good.
The A&L bell crank screws are just a hair too short. So I replaced those. The right one is extra long for.....
The body post.
My RC10 noobness rears its ugly head for the first time! I did not realize the RR adjustable arm mounts require new holes to be drilled. DOH! I am rethinking the whole thing now. Not sure I want to drill the chassis.

Re: 8rads first RC10 build.
Well that aint happenin! So plan B. Source some arm mounts. Pretty tough to find I hear.2 holes to mount it, and then a slot to adjust it (easily).

Ha! I knew it wasnt my fault!Now you know why I sold it Thought you knew that part, I have some 1.5 rear mounts for ya if you don't already have them
Are 1.5 mounts a good choice for a tight technical track?

Re: 8rads first RC10 build.
1.5 per side will rotate in the corner more, but the 3 deg ones are hard to find most of the time. 3 get per side is the gold standard in current buggies-
