Cool project! And just a question about cars like these. Is belt slap ever a concern? Where the belt cogs hit each other and cause wheel lockup or just momentary loss of power? How dare you question my design🤔 😁 It’s possible, there is a lot of flex and twisting in the chassis, especially in the re...

For those not following the build on the RC10Talk Facebook page, here’s a. It of an update: After struggling to find the right sized front cvds, I’m still struggling with that 😁, so I’ve decided to extend the arms out a bit, to accommodated the 176mm cvd...waiting on parts🤷🏻 Decided to move onto sol...

Awesome!!!

So this will be the final resting place for the GT gearbox, everything from here on out will have to work around this. It’s tied to the nose plate using a par of Traxxas servo mounts that will either be replaced for something a bit stronger or just dyed black😁 I made a carbon brace to tie the top of...

Awesome work

Not a fan of the FF concept itself, but I’m looking forward to seeing how this turns out

they are great looking cars

Bought a one way pulley for an SC10 4x4, just to have that option, it’s a 19t pulley from hot racing.... had to make a new input shaft(idler gear shaft) to fit the larger diameter of the one way.

This way, all 4 mounting points would be on the nose plate, and I could brace it to the tower also, and theoretically, gives me good clearance....

I cut down the front tower and tried a couple of mounting options for the tranny....

I can mount it onto the Nose plate, and onto the shock tower.

This way would give me nice steering clearance

A 2.25

I have several different size pulleys, one way included, coming in the mail, so I can play with ratios

If all else fails, I can always buy a xx4 or xxx4 to run at the VONATS

Heck yeah,

Hope to see you again next year for a rematch

Ordered some STUFFS

The pulley is a Sakura drift car 13t center pulley, and the inner diameter is 4mm, so I had to grind down the outer portion of the shaft to fit in the pulley, drilled through the shaft using the set screw hole as a guide, and fastened it on the shaft using an m2 screw and nut.

These are 1.2” long, 4-40 threaded standoffs with an outer dimeter of 3/16”, PERFECT RIGHT?? Nope? They are actually a bit larger than 3/16, had to ground them down a bit to fit in the bearings
