RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

This is how it ended so far. replaced the "original" trailing arm rear suspension mount with a standard, and used some shorter shocks to keep the body low.

Please try to keep Your enthusiasm down this time - I know it´s hard, but please try and keep the comments to a minimum

Yes, standard Dubro semi transparent = easy to get

I'll need to remember this too. We should have like a "how to" forum where the main post is how to do something like this and people can give feedback and we can keep up to date how to posts pinned fur the useful stuff.

Since there seems to be a world-wide outdrive shortage for RC10's, I've decided to try printing some from stainless steel. I bought a NIP pair from aip47-2008 (thanks again man!) and took my measurements from them. I uploaded them to shapeways and ordered a pair, I should have them in a couple weeks...

The extended versions would also solve the "Lethal Weapon in a Kyosho/Tamiya application" problem, as their outdrives were a bit longer. I'm really hoping these work out!

I'm looking to upgrade the shocks and towers. I noticed on some other posts lots of guys are running large bor...

Brian hasnt updated so I will...the current selection is for the Aluminum drives. I believe he has a batch ready to sell The steel outdrives became an issue, one side was too long. I am working with the manufacturer to see if they can make the sides equal length for us. Currently the entire stock is...

Thanks for the info/update, Jeff. I'd really rather have these made in the USA outdrives than keep chasing AE ones.

Very nice Niki! This will be a popular piece

A photo per chance?
