Thanks, yes I'm going to go back to stock rear arms, well rpm ones, I have lots of alloy b4.1 hubs/hex wheels so will go this route I think,I can always play with the track width with different wheel hex shims from a TC

What about your ball stud position on the front caster block? Why the outside /front instead of the back? Did you not notice any problems? Thanks

No it's fine as per the photo , if you have it in the back of the c hub it hits the hub on full lock/compression

It doesn't bind as it so all good!

I like the car very much. Good that you used RPM arms, 3D printed arms are weak and IMO they are garbage. How close are your lap times compared to a modern car?

Thanks!! Yes I love the old girl!

I'm busy rebuilding a RM125 Mx bike at the moment but will get the rear end sorted and it'll be out on track

When I raced indoors in AstroTurf I was around 2 secs a lap down on the yz2/B6 etc with a lap time of 22/23 secs so not too bad!

The last layout didn’t work too well on the carpet so changed it to this for its next outing!

Here is a quick video of it running

So ahead of some winter racing I will give the mighty RC10 another make over, these rc10’s are never finished!

So the plastics are going black!
