Thanks Chuck, Yes, it is much different than what I started with. Often projects go like that. ;) I like how this is turning out and plan to get some track time either later this week or next (unless they close the track due to the Corona virus). ...in which case this will have to wait before I get ...

Thanks!
Once I get the electronics hooked up and a few mechanical things tweaked i'll be taking it to a carpet track near me to test and continue to tweak.

LOL, I just noticed from the photos that I am missing a "c-clip" on the front left side arm. ...will have to fix that!

...and some shots w/ the painted body.

Sorry I've been silent on this thread, ...I actually have been really busy working on my RC10 vintage/modern build. I was thinking during the build and decided that since my car was already way off original that it didn't really matter to use the RC World's tub I had and decided to swap the chassis ...

Agreed,
That was my first thought. I plan on getting some bands that are a little bigger/looser. You can get them at the hardware store for about .30 each. I suppose if you never take the battery out it's fine, but I dont like keeping batteries in my cars and charging while in the car.

okay, got the back 2.2" wheels mounted, took some back and forth to get them right but there is no binding and everything is smooth and fits well. I also adjusted the rear camber a little and tightened up the rear diff ever so slightly as it was a tad too loose (I think). Installed a battery ho...

Yeah, I've noticed that too. I wonder if maybe the supply gets bought up here in the US quicker? In any case, I wish they'd get the shipping to/from US to Aus more reasonable.

Thanks for the encouragement on the build,
Yes, I went w/ the JC Concepts front axle pieces as that is all I could find, -I had to order from Australia as they are discontinued and found an eBay seller w/ like 5 sets. Paid $8 for them US, then $20 shipping (sucks, but what else could I do)?!!

I am still working on this, got the steering setup...

Okay, I found a set of front axles from a B4, ...i'll post photos of my progress once all my parts arrive.

okay, looks like the front axle piece for the B4 has been discontinued and isn't available anywhere. ..looked on eBay too, nothing.
hmm, ...

Thank you,
okay, gathering the necessary parts so I can continue on this build.

Okay, a few questions: 1) I am following the setup for the rear conversion to 2.2 12mm hex found here: https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=34582&p=385999&hilit=Yokomo+CVA#p385999 Which hub carriers should I use for this setup, I am believe the stock RC10 and/or the Re-Re World'...

Thank you Chuck,
Yes, that is what I am following, and I love that all the parts are readily available!
going to go that route, -thanks for outlining how to do this.
