Re: #6002 - RC10 Worlds Car Kit

Re: Using rere worlds parts, shock bottom ends rub arms???

Answering my own question: wrong shock ends. I was tricked by Amain's listing. I had sorted for rere world's parts and it listed the stock gold pan shock ends in the world's section, so I ASSumed they were the right ends. Wrong. Just ordered the right shock ends today.

advice for selling a vintage gold pan?

Would it enhance the value of my 1986 Cadillac short arm to include the original body with the single boring color paint job? Because I'd just as soon use it on the quasi-worlds I built up out of parts if nobody would be interested in an old body with a single color forest green automotive paint job...

Using rere worlds parts, shock bottom ends rub arms???

i built up a sort of a world's using a combination of parts i already had, and parts i ordered. anyhow, in front, the endlinks on the shock rod, where they attach to the arms, seem to have too big a circumference, and rub on the arms as you can see in the following pic: https://lh4.googleusercontent...

Re: Associated 6016 Early CE build

back from 9 days in australia...

anyhow, very nice. THAT was what i was going to do to my gold pan before i went down the rathole of making it into a worlds: i was just going to do wide front arms (along with the required 4-hole shock tower, which i also have).

very nice. very very nice.

does any shop sell the rere world's shocks complete?

i'd be interested in having a set, but i'm not too interested in ordering them part by part, not that i mind assembling them, if they come in a bag, but it's just that it seems kind of wasteful and expensive to order them one part at a time. OT, for the aussies, i'm in the waiting area at LAX airpor...

Re: pics loaded...Narrow arm, old gold pan converting to Wor

I'm surprised no one has tried talking you out of this yet. Yes, the original gold pan RC10 and the Worlds RC10 have the same DNA but there are so many small things that are different about them, which you have found out the hard way. You're probably committed now but I would suggest cleaning up wh...

Will the B3 stealth internals fit in the original USA case?

So about three or four years ago, I thought I'd update my original 1986 gold pan with brushless/lipo power, which i did, no problems. but i also had the idea that i needed a stealth to stand up to the torque of a brushless motor. thing is, i didn't know one stealth from another, so i bought one off ...

Re: pics loaded...Narrow arm, old gold pan converting to Wor

Weird that Amain doesn't even list them. Up till now, they were my go-to place. Super convenient. But not when their selection is incomplete.

Re: pics loaded...Narrow arm, old gold pan converting to Wor

well, now that i've been convinced to save my original gold pan as shelf decoration, I am proceeding ahead with using the black B stamp and original USA-spec stealth tranny I already had, to build a worlds knockoff... for what must be as much as Amain charges for a rere worlds kit (at least their cu...

Whoa! Very very good, informative and insightful post. Definitely food for thought. on edit: in fact, you've convinced me. i'm going to do the mother of all pivots and return my gold pan to a stock rolling shelf queen and build my "worlds" with the black tub and black motor mount with the ...

Here is a quickie of the rear end, minus the camber links, with the 0 degree caster blocks, 1/4" CVD axles, with the flanged bearing on the inside (you can't see it), and the unflanged bearing on the outboard side. you can see the black motor/tranny mount that came with the stealth: https://lh3...

Re: pics loaded...Narrow arm, old gold pan converting to Wor

I'm out of town on a trip till Saturday and I'll put up some pics then... Got the rear already built except I ran out of 0.30" ballstuds for the hubs so I can't close it all up with the camber links. I have a flanged 1/4" bearings for the inboard side of the 0 degree hubs, and unflanged 1/...

Re: pics loaded...Narrow arm, old gold pan converting to Wor

Man'o'live... Little thing after little thing. By the time this is done, I could have just bought a rere kit. So much to consider in the way of decisions. For example: what if you want to keep using original classic wheel designs, (i have originals, JC racing, and some 2.2" wheels from the 90's...
