My old is new RC10 vintage racer build thread!

[Racinjason2316]

Ok so I am starting a new build on an old buggy. I'm going to see how much new technology I can inject into this vintage dog. Lots of new tech AE stuff , such as VTS slipper clutch, B44 aluminum rear hubs with carbon "c" towers,b44 CVA axles, ceramic diff and thrust bearings, hex B4 wheels and I may even take a stab at "co-planar" steering like the new cars have. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome and appreciated!

My recommendation is lots of searching. There are tons of threads on optimizing using newer components

I'm lucky enough to have a b4.2 , t4.1 and sc10.2 here that I can test fit parts from!

That helps too

So the pan chassis had been media blasted to relieve it of its nasty paint/powder coated filth and is being powder coated as we speak. Looks like the recipe will change for this build a little...if you see something that isn't going to work, feel free to let me know. All the electronics are things that i have laying around.Thanks in advance!

I'll be interested to see how that aluminum top shaft holds up under the torque of that 7.5 motor.
