Its very rigid. Its more rigid than the graphite but not as much as the composite. Its 2024 T3. I have requested colors and pricing from gomachv's anodizing place for the hardcoating process. They call it type 3. I am staying away from bright colors except for accent hardware. I want the car to look...

So Jake sorted me out with some new arms so mockup continues.

The DF-02 outdrives arrived. Despite being a little shorter than the thorps they engage in the diff halves nicely.

Wow! Thats some serious RC pron right there. Those early hand made ABC cars are incredible! So over engineered but so beautiful.

Nice to see the Pro SE getting some love around here lately. It was my first real race car that I bought with my Christmas money in January of 1992.

I remember it being so smooth and easy to drive right out of the box. A great car. Looking forward to the builds.

Dats reeel nice. That deserves a car built around it. What are you going to do with it?

Is no secret the stock drives are junk. They wear out quickly and either fall out or break completely. There are 2 universally accepted upgrades: CRP uprated driveshafts Thorp dogbones But..........I want universals and I am sure it's possible. So here goes. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h246/8r...

No worries Jake. Lots to do yet.

Just came in today!

Does the speedo have a torque adjustment?

Can you use shock gaskets?

Easier to do it on the car.

I remember reading in RCCA that the CVD drive was taken from full size cars. But that was 20 years ago, I could be mistaken. CVD has nothing to do with 1:1 cars. It's just the name that MIP called their rebuildable universal joints, and so CVD has become the standard description for any rebuildable...

Got my Sabula order today with the natural long shank ball cups I need to do the turnbuckles. I finally have a use for these heavy duty tecnacrafts, which oddly say they are JRX-T but very obviously need the long shank ball cups to work. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h246/8rad/IMG_3017_zpsa99fc9...

Being a fellow canuckian I'll help you out here.

As I'm thinking, I can only come up with two designs that seem to be strictly RC that might work in full scale. Ball diffs and the CVD/CVA style of universals. I can't really see a ball diff holding up to full scale power but it would be cool to see that type of design in a full scale car. The CVD/...
