Adam Rayls' killer RC10B2 racer

Post by littleVETTE »

Adam's b2 is your normal buggy with a few modern upgrades to accommodate today's racing scene. Nothing trick done to the transmission, suspension, or chassis. Pretty much bone stock out of the box. No carbon chassis pieces either, other than the front carbon shock tower. Pretty impressive, considering he still races it.

Image

The Chassis is standard length composite. And the reason for not using any carbon pieces on his buggy? Adam: "..that old stuff was stiffer than the newer plastics they use [today]. The carbon was really stiff". His lipo fit right in with no modifications. Still uses the foam pads to adjust the battery's position for tuning. An associated battery thumb screw is used to mount his battery hold down. All his electronics are reedy and sanwa.

Image

Front end is all stock. He does have a carbon shock tower mounted. Arms are composite material. Carriers are 30 degrees. Front axles are the more modern extended units. Hinge pins are stock and turnbuckles are titanium. He uses associated low friction B4 ball cups. Up on the shock tower he uses associated blue aluminum shock mounts for his V2 small bore shocks. He's not a fan of the big bore stuff on older buggies. Length of the shocks and shafts are stock, as well as the pistons. Bell crank's ackerman position is stock. He does use ball bearings on the right hand servo saver. Top plate is the stock composite unit.

Image

Rear suspension is also stock. Including the rear shock tower. Mounted on the shock tower are the same associated aluminum shock mounts and V2 small bore shocks. Stock lengths, and stock pistons. He's using the 3 degree toe - 3 anti-squat rear suspension mounts, along with 0 degree rear hubs. For the axles he used the stock b2 CVD shiny bones but opted for the b4 axles. So he could run the wheel spacer. Out back the associated b4 low friction ball cups are used as well. Stock hinge pins and associated blue titanium turnbuckles.

Transmission is bone stock with a b4/t4 top shaft. For the vonats he used a slipper eliminator. He's currently using the b4/t4 slipper clutch. Gear cover is stock. The transmission brace is the stock composite unit.

Image

Wheels up front are b4 wheels and rears are kit stock (same as the re-re rc10 worlds).

Body is stock and the wing is from jconcepts - high clearance wing.

Nice B2 that seems to fare pretty well in that vintage race where pics were taken (cannot see exactly what's on the trophy plates - but this says "vintage" despite the "modern racing scene" in the opening paragraph). Cool paint scheme!

two Q's:
- what is the source of this article?
- is Adam a member here?

Probably the way you've worded you response about 'vintage vs modern'. The track is pretty modern and the car and cars were running some really good laps. So 'vintage' is kinda not as vintage as it appears. I Guess? I dunno.

littleVette, would you happen to have any of the shock setup info? As also, what tires was he running? What reedy electronics are they?

The car, and the amains in general, were pretty awesome to watch, I was hanging at the end of the back straightaway at the bank, and those guys were flyin'.

What is the black box next to the receiver? Gyro, 2.4 Ghz module or LiPo cut-off?

Looks like a shrink-wrapped transponder to me :)
