Post by durb69 »

I just won a cheetah telesis 1 kit and i have most parts needed to build this compleatly but i was wondering if any knows if a rear bulk head from an rc10r5 will fit the old rc10l rear?
Thanks

I'm getting an R5 in a week and can post up pics and measure it up if you like.

Probably not. They also use different screw sizes.

+1, and the RC10R5 went metric too, all the bulkhead holes are not in the same old RC10L Series locations - ground up new design.

You can always put together a nice rear pod using IRS parts if you like, you can even get them in plain aluminum clear anodizing.

What about RC10L rear bulkheads on a L3's symmetrical lower pod...would those fit together?

Sorry no...

The RC10L bulkheads are mounted with two different fastener sizes, a 8-32 screw and a 4-40 screw, where the bulkheads for the L3 are only mounted with only 4-40 screws.

Years ago they offered the "Old Style" left and right pod plates, such as Niftech did (Niftechs were nicer though IMO and only came in plain aluminum finish)

- But you are now correct since they have updated to their new site, they are no longer in the catalog and are for the 10L2 / 12LC and later cars. :?

Just keep an eye out in the bay though, and if you can see a Sassy Chassis or Proline (Titanium) one Piece Pod don't pass it up ;)

i have one of these i might put on it at some point. It is on an on road project i built right now though. I also have a nice set of black locking hubs for it and the telesis front end to install as well. I have cleaned up this rear pod and removed the broke off screw. its as good as new now.
