Very interesting build...I take it that you're going to mount the tranny as a mid. Did you cut the chassis yourself, or is it made for that? Also, how are you mounting the bulkhead/tower?...I just started a mid project out of spare parts. The rear bulkhead is done....I made it from fiberglass...I w...

Going Bolink 1/10 pan car front end...simple onroad design...

Please. One of my cars looks like it was lightened with buckshot, like they were practicing for a Flex Seal commercial.

The back end is completely done with the exception of how wide it is (might have to go DS arms) wont know till Bolink wheels/tires arrive..shocks all gone thru, rebuilt the ball diff..might go bigger spur...motor is a new vintage Trinity 21t Street Spec...got an offer in on Ebay for a new ART Agitat...

For those wondering how legit this class was...Here is Hyperdrives RC10 Onroad conversion...not just the drive belt, they made the whole car besides the RC10 part of it..Epic!

For your 6 gear transmission, are you doing the outdrive bearing mod?

Very nice setup you're making. Looks great!

So far your build looks very nice, I'm a big fan of taking what you already have to the next level. As to the bearing mod... Pretty sure Frankentruck is referring to the outdrive bearing modification. One of many references can be found here https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=44362&am...

Really nice work Russ

This has been waiting on my having two minutes for a while now but this is the next step , this adds 10 degrees kick to the front arms , its about as far as you can go while retaining some DNA , what I've done is modify the front bulkhead , the bulkhead behind the diff pumpkin and the top arm mount ...

Looks great, you knocked it out pretty quick.

This looks to be a very technical project...Although I'm not familiar with a Coyote, based on the illustrations, it looks like Mr.Ed has the right idea about using the bumper as a guard. Seems to be several places to bolt one on.....I can't wait to see the progress on this! If your not familiar wit...

I switched to a Novak Havoc ESC because it has Lipo support built in, but it doesn't like the Tamiya brushless motor and throws a fault code for motor not having temperature monitoring. So in goes a Novak 13.5 with it. Rear suspension is now significantly beefed up with some goodies from Factory Wor...

What a nice build!
... and it appears to have taken you only 3 days to complete. My scratch builds normally take months to complete.

Well done sir.

Nice!!!
