Been feeling a little Blue

Yeah, the 10t rear tower makes the rear shocks way to vertical to handle well. But that new tower is perfect

What he said

[bearrickster]

Great!! thanks Fellas for all the help. I am still waiting on word about the front tower. I am ready to finish her up but I am tired of putting it together and takeing it apart. so when all the parts arrive I will get back on it.

[bearrickster]

Jay dub's Worlds tower came in today so work will go on tomorrow!! I cant wait to see what its going to be like done.

[Jay Dub]

I currently run my rear shocks all the way in, plus an extra hole. You might try drilling another hole further in (so you would end up with 5 per side total). The rear towers I produce, come with this hole btw. -Jeff

Everytime I put this car back together I see something I forgot to do while a part was off I wanted to file the nose plate back a little for the servo mount to sit flat and forgot again. oh well makeing alittle progress its coming along. I really like the new towers. I am waiting on parts again. that really takes the wind out of my sails on a build to haveing to keep stopping and wait for parts.

do the Yellow wheels look good or Bad? I used B4 blocks and carriers is that going to cause me any problems? and what rear hubs do you guys use with the B4 CVD's?

I know the rod is on the wrong side of the tower I was trying out something. it didnt work

[soniccj5]

Wow, this is really looking good! Not sure if i said this before, but this build is going to cause me to rebuild my RC-10 old is new.

I am running RPM 70272 RC10T Bearing Carriers with Jake's arms and B4 CVDs.

[Seabass]

SonciCJ5 is correct on the rear RPM hub, very easy to find. Also make sure to pick up four 1/2 x 3/16 bearings for the hubs if you don't have any. You won't get far without those.

Car looks great.

Car looks good Rick! Since you asked, I'm not a fan of the yellow wheels. Maybe because I have to look at coats that color all day long at my job! I wouls probably go with white or blue wheels if it was my car but it looks pretty good that way too.

[JK Racing]

Rick, I say black wheels and Losi Blue spec tires , gotta get some Losi on it, right?

thats funny, I am fading on this project badly, just cant seem to hold my intrest. I am thinking of selling them both off and putting the money into a XXBK for the Vonats

[soniccj5]

How long did you leave the a-arms in the boiling dye?

I left mine in for 30 minutes, and they look purple. Going to give another go tonight to see if they can get any darker.

[Seabass]

Sonic,

You may want to scuff up the glossy side of the arms if you have not done that yet. The tops and the bottom of the material have a high gloss during manufacture and it may make the arms dye funny. The easiest thing to do is use a scotch bright pad and suff them up good. They will dye perfectly.

If you have any other problems with them, let me know in a PM.

Jake

[soniccj5]

Scuffed up the arms and they came out great!! thanks!

I really hope this car is still getting the attention it deserves .
