Aluminum Bellcranks RC10T?

Post by RCveteran »

What are you guys using? I see Jconcepts made a set here but appears to never have produced.

I don't see the usual Ebay suspects either? Am I missing the obvious?

There's really nothing out there for the 10t. You have to run buggy versions in the forward holes in the nose plate.

The jconcepts prototypes are nice. Just don't think he thought they'd sell well..... Or should I say, in a reasonable amount of time to make it worth it.

Geometry on the 10T wasn’t good, the Gt/T2 setups were short like the buggy. There were some made tho, Rpm and MIP in nylon and I think HG, gpm or new era might have made metal. The buggy cranks from a worlds car work excellent using the front nose plate holes (use button head screws) and bolt the nose plate down with short screws like the 3rd stock screw. I sell a Factory Works rack kit that is made for the 10T as well, and it comes complete with the correct screws to make it all work

Your description of the rere stuff makes sense to me. I have extras of those in plastic and aluminum. The obvious staring me in the face using the forward holes was not coming to me however. I see the factory works stuff now out there too. I guess i have two options now.

I'm surprised at the relative short supple of 10T stuff relative to buggies out there as I being my slow creep to the dark side of Associated.

Do I have this about right, the 10T and 10T2 share suspension and drive axles but T2 has the newer unique to it chassis and transmission, said transmission shares same idler and out drive gear/shaft as original stealth? Did I hit the high points, after the T2 I lose interest. Boy I took my own thread off course!

yes, late 10T and all T2 used the same arms, front end, etc. The rear bulkhead, rear tower and trans were different and the chassis specific to those as well. The internals of the trans were the same as the nitro (2.6) which also used the same topshaft and idler.
