Bearings made a night and day difference on the gearbox - it runs kind of smooth now
Still have to sort the steering and eletrics in general.

What happened to this project Dennis?

Hi Lars,
It´s still pretty much like in the pictures

The other Scorpion project just took over when I wasn´t looking.

I can´t decide whether to make a decent cage or just put a body on it.
Any ideas on which body to fit? Perhaps I should look into some Ayk´s

I've been thinking on this for a while. Got a couple 6301 chassis when on sale as well as a few other parts.
I also picked a laydown housing to check for fit.

The car looks spectacular Chuck.
One of the best mid-motor conversions I've seen so far.
Just a really neat and tidy design - everything in its place. Well done sir!!

Hi all

This is somewhat of a rehash of a previous build with a few new twists.
A couple months ago I bought 2 RC10 chassis. One is a vintage 6 gear graphite. It is not shaped like a gold pan, extra wide near the front and more narrow at the widest...

Sorry for the late reply.

I have driven it gently out on the front flagstone patio. All seems in order ( steering, brakes, slipper, diff etc. )
Have I beat it in the dirt? No, at least not until I get to a legitimate track where I can get some...

I saw a chassis on ebay a while back with these strips cut out and thought it looked pretty cool. Form over function as I knew the chassis would be far less rigid. I took a beat chassis and started to work on a prototype mid motor. Oh well, here...

Because your rear wheel will lean outwards when the suspension is compressed.
This will give you very little grip in the rear during cornering.
Terry SC was friendly enough to point out a similar problem with the front links on one of my own...

Has anyone done a mid motor conversion on the T or T2? I couldn't find a thread.

Last post

Very true. If you were keeping it a truck, it's a matter of a dynotech motor plate, some battery trays of some type, and some creative bracing and you are on the way.

Thanks for the compliment! I agree with you on both there being a great group of people on RC10Talk.com and that an important part of vintage RC were the mods and hop-ups that may or may not have been worth it. :mrgreen:
