Very cool, thanks for sharing!

the klien arms are pretty much indestructible. you are much more likely to crack a shock tower, which will likely have to be custom in order to use a narrow bulkhead, so kind of a rock and a hard place to be honest...... could probably get away with just trimming the center out of the truck bulkhea...

apologies if this is where you got the info and you know all about it already: check this listing over, it appears its the same build list you have there. Front end: -10T kickup ASC7305 and bulkhead ASC7207 -Inner hinge pin ASC7209 -Front arm RPM80492 -Outer hinge pin ASC8423 or ASC7357 -Caster and...

Not a lot of progress made in the past week or so, but I did buy some B44 CVA shafts and the seem to be a good length for the Bandit rear arms and mounts. After taking some eyeball measurements, it looks like the front end is going to be too wide by about 10mm, so more than I can remedy by modifying...

What color are you gonna paint the body?

Looks great!

I designed the chassis and had it laser cut from 1/8" thick 6061 aluminum.

Very nice!!
Was the chassis plate laser cut at your place of business or by another commercial service provider? Link?

Cut by theses guys:

I designed the chassis and had it laser cut from 1/8" thick 6061 aluminum.
I countersunk the holes and bent the nose with a vice mounted press brake to about 25°

Here's where I'm leaving it tonight. I need to order a few hinge pins and longer turnbuckles to fit the RPM arms, as well as figuring out a battery mounting solution for the shorty pack.

Look what showed up today



Original worlds tub weighs about 5.5oz, without the nose plate. This hunk of aluminum weighs about 8.5oz, so hopefully I won't need to use as many chassis weights.

Time to countersink some holes and bend the nose.

The goal of this project is to make a dedicated racer so I can stop breaking parts on my original Worlds Car :shock: I will be using a re-release worlds car as a donor, though admittedly few parts will be carried over. Here is the plan: -custom Single piece 1/8" 6061 aluminum plate chassis with...

Oh man, wouldn't wanna be the marshal to be hit in the shin with that...

I know nothing about pan cars. I'm an offroad guy who dabbles in rubber tire touring cars. On the surface, it looks like modern pan cars aren't much different than they were 25 years ago My track wants to start a rubber tire 12th scale class and it has peaked my interest. If I buy an early 90's 12L,...

I'm working on a mid motor RC10 rerelease, but i need to choose a body. I'd like to try to use a modern looking body (even if it is an ugly cab forward design) because it would fit the profile of my chassis better. Does anybody know of any modern buggies that have a similar width chassis plate that ...

It's a roller now, need to add my electronics. I still need to order a 17.5 motor, wheels, tires, and a body.

Are RCPS turnbuckles rare?
