I'm waiting on crucial parts from the west coast so did a little bit on the back end. Stealth tranny with #9601 top shaft, Avid ball bearings,my custom machined aluminum tranny spacers and top shaft plug. For now, might change, a Trinity machined 81T spur gear. I'm all out of brushless motors so will have to buy :shock: one. I'm thinking a 13.5 or maybe a 10.5.

That's a JConcepts Worlds re-re cf tranny brace, only thing I had to use right now. I'll probably get with GoMachV (Factory Works) and have a custom brace made.

Thanks Jeff :mrgreen:

Looking at the tracking, all those fine parts should be here Friday. There's a big snow storm headed right at me so hope there's no delay!

No parts yet :(

The east coast snow storm has disrupted USPS and UPS deliveries to my rural area. There's about a 3 foot drift on the road in front of the house! Sucks big time as I have 9 packages due!

I need some info on the 10T front brace tubes, the ones that go from the sides of the tub to the front bulkhead slots. I have to make these as I have not been able to source them.

My question...Are the hole in the tube at the bulkhead end threaded for 4-40 or are they a pass through/clearance hole for the 4-40 screw?

The screw passes through the front. Tapped in the back.

Hopefully the mail will come today, the post office has been closed since Friday :(

I was looking for something to do at 0530 hrs this morning so I worked on the top slot in the motor plate for brushless power. I took about a half mm from the top, now the motor will pivot smoothly. Once again, using Lunsford titanium motor screws.

it's a classic... I don't have one single of my rc10 where I haven't added washers between both parts to allow them to be bolted together :)

Those are actually the wrong ones but the right ones are coming.

Those are 10t offset but for his build they were supposed to be buggy offset and I sent the wrong ones. I have lots of rear but fronts are long gone. I have the molds for all the different wheels we once offered but the cost of injecting them is crazy high

Truck :mrgreen:

Thanks for hooking me up, Jeff :D

1st step is to drill and slot the tub for the trailing arm mounting plates. I'm going to leave the plates in their natural color for a nice contrast with the black re-re tub. I'm using mostly stainless steel button head (my favorite) hardware with Factory Works blue color load spreading washers.

Almost ready to commence with the drilling step, just need to make the tub "clampable"so it doesn't get away from me while doing it!

Gook luck with the drilling. It's a tricky spot.

yup, it's tricky, no doubt.

Use a small drill, something like 1/16" or so and drill a locating hole at each end. Then you can work from the outside.
