Re: we need a contest of some sort
Quick question. With all the resources displayed in other posts (people with connections to machine shops, paint shops, having AutoCAD skills or just plain mad skillz lol etc. etc.) has anyone proposed that this board collectively consider designing a new RC10?? a totally revamped, our version of the classic 2WD version? (perhaps a double deck graphite with alloy towers etc. etc.) or even a new 4WD one? not that I would be biased for a 4WD design
I come for the RC10's but stay for the Yokomo's

Re: we need a contest of some sort
Ya i'm all for redesigning the 10 too. Maybe we call it the "RC10-2" (10 too... get it!). I'm all over the hottie contest. Maybe we should consider handicapping it for those of us who don't have the "resources" that Asa does! LOL.

Re: we need a contest of some sort
we could also make a list of participants, toss a coin to decide who brings which part and then collect the parts somewhere and build it. Pics would be uploaded and then it would go to the elected guy from the "Hottie and Funny Picture Contest", well let's call it the HFPC winner lol

Re: we need a contest of some sort
Dude let's TOTALLY do this. When we finish it I can get it covered in one of the mags too how cool would that be. Count me in for doing a part. I think we should for a comittee to over see and distribute the project.

What if everyone who wanted to contribute posted pics of what they wanted to contribute and let the "...committee..." Erich referred to do the part selection?Asso_man! wrote:.....toss a coin to decide who brings which part and then collect the parts somewhere and build it.

Re: we need a contest of some sort
This will be an interesting build.
We tried something like this in the local woodworking group and it didn't work too well. Every tape measure measures differently. That's ok when you're building something that doesn't require tight tolerances, but when you start building something that's a bit more intricate and demands accuracy, you can't use 35 different tape measures. Then there is equipment quality (again with the tolerances ), and user ability and attention to detail.
Most of these issues I would assume would be bypassed because everyone would be duplicating stock parts, right?

Re: we need a contest of some sort
Toaster suggested doing a revamp but I like the idea of people creating custom parts that will bolt on to an original 10. That would be the easier way of making this happen. Like you said, every tape measure measures differently.Halgar wrote:This will be an interesting build.

But I like the revamp idea. I just think it would be a bit difficult unless all mounting point are to stay the same. But that would kill the whole revamp thing.

Re: we need a contest of some sort
I agree, aftermarket parts would be easier and more likely to succeed. One option that I can think of is that if 90% of the parts were aftermarket bolt on and 10% were one-off customs, that the people doing the one-offs would work together to design and build their parts. For instance, the front of the chassis is changed slightly for improved a-arms and geometry. The guy making the pan and the guy doing the front suspension work together to make the parts fit. The rest is "stock" so that aftermarket bolt-ons will do the job.
