The 2020 VONATS were a blast, and after a 9 year racing hiatus, I did ok in both of my classes. I decided to add a 3rd class, and the main inspiration behind it was the Ten4 buggy. My version is going to be based on the “Old Is New” style buggy, using the Klein Arms, and 10T shock towers and shocks....

What a Beauty of a car....I need one

Yep

This reminds me of when I started racing the longer chassis B4c I had to splice in a piece of another chassis, it held together pretty good, I used whatever tire glue I was using at that time, and it bonded pretty good.

I raced it until the actual longer chassis came out

That looks sick, looking forward to it

Pretty much done

Swapped out the stock spindle and retrofitted the Custom Works front hex conversion....

Swapped from a T3 chassis to the shorter Phoenix chassis, for a better fitment of the body...

New Carbon Shock Towers

Re-arranged the electronics

Added Electronics:

Hobbywing 13.5t Brushless Juststock Combo

Thank you,

I’ve always had a soft spot for this truck, it’s my second favorite RC10 truck

So.......

Decided to mount the tower on it’s normal location, and added spacers on top to make the shocks sit nice and straight up and down.

Fitted the shocks, 1.32 rears and 1.18 fronts (since couldn’t find V2 shocks in 1.02 length.

Fixed the nose of the body, make it look half way decent
