Fixing up the Frankentruck(s), the fleet of them

[scr8p]

Composite Craft had a "team" chassis set for both buggy and truck. They also had a truck set similar to their "RPM Worlds" version.

Took some time to find a Team T version

And here’s one of the slickest builds around, one of Lavigna’s RC10T “Worlds” chassis.

I've got to think a little about that. I'm not sure I care much for that top plate.

I'm going with my coffin style chassis for now. I like the blue nose plate and have another truck that might make use of this Composite Craft chassis, after I fill the one extra hole it has.

When I use buggy bellcranks on a truck, I still mount them to the foreword holes. I just use three 1/4" long screws to attach the nose plate.

It seems ok with these RPS bellcranks using the truck bellcrank position. For now I'm satisfied with the setup. It's only the first day of the week though.

[Frankentruck]

This has been gnawing at me so I went ahead and did some truck style longer bellcranks.

How's the difference in steering between the short buggy and long truck style bellcranks?

[Frankentruck]

For my brief trial, minimal difference. But that's just a little front yard driving.

The Frankentruck lost its body to one of the EGTs. But it got an upgrade. The replacement was from a shelfer GT, but didn't quite work with the T3 rear shock tower. After a little trimming and the addition of a pair of carbon fiber RC10B4 hub towers for the shock attachment points, the body now fits well. It just needs a sticker job to finish it off.
