Terry.sc and Frankentruck make valid points about the chassis, You cant even buy saddle pack LiPos any more, but velcro? really? seems very crude. Surely the engineers could come up with a better clamp, either low profile or normal square profile. Gens Ace sells saddles. https://www.amainhobbies.co...

Jim Dieter has told me the chassis was so narrow because they had a complete ground effect setup that was removed when it was protested at the IFMAR world champs. Interesting tidbit...

This is bizarre. I started the same project a few weeks ago.

That being said, awesome job!!

Well, the first attempt at an off road track did not go well.

SRB with Rc Channel upper and lower arm rear end, Scorpion shocks, Xtra speed chassis, and Dremel powered engineering...

These cars need the animated driver dudes like this...

I came across some magnet wire at a surplus store. For fun I rewound an old stock motor blank. IT's not incredibly hard to make one that will spin up, the problem is making it perform. Mine spun on a turbo 30, but that's all I did with it.

Do you have a link or part number for the top cad hubs?

I found Pukka Parts on Facebook, with this SRB conversion kit. It's more or less an MIP style setup.

Really nicely done stuff, a combo of frp and printed parts.

Any idea what the part number is for the front tires on that rc10?

Better start saving... https://www.ebay.com/itm/266718865190?itmmeta=01HT8SB43042YDB64YZTPVAM4D&hash=item3e19aee726:g:Wl8AAOSwnuxl89Qa&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4JgtzI96oxK5lUijayiqhRYC%2F5p6L2ES7GaEahFLaU%2B%2BO7cqhZLChj63OQEH5kqA0vJqLuLkdEn40IfRKlB8AswVRaAFGjftB62qr8%2Fg%2BUdHx9OHl%2FOFfqOUeK4U...
