In case some people missed it, my update post kinda got lost in another goofy debate.

Okay, so now its on to the front of the car. This was actually the easiest part of this build for me and one of the first things I figured out. I was struggling with the rear of the car till one day I was looking at one of Bob's build thread and essentially just copied that which worked out perfectly. But the front, I built this right away. It is narrowly wider than the B4.2. Approx. 1mm or so. Again, the measurement pics are eyeballed as with the rear of the car... but you can get the jist of it by seeing the ruler in the pic. I'm working on a better way to measure everything with will be more accurate.

Once again, I am looking to get close to the +8 of the B4.2, so to do this we need to mount the kick plate in the forward position like a RC10T (Yes I do know about the scratches... The Chassis was not NIP, but was unused):


So in these pics you see the already built hubs and carriers. This is using 20 degree B4 castor blocks, SC10/B4.2 steering blocks, JConcepts B4.1 hex conversion and Avid Hexes also used a short shoulder ballstud. The Avid hexes are b4 rears... You can use the fronts, but the front end will be about 5mm less width than the B4.2:



All mounted up:


Here is the B4.2 front with a ruler for reference on width:

And the OIN:


And the built right front:


Here is a pic of the rear hub of the B4.2 from the side and a ruler for reference. Again, its not perfect, but gives you an idea how close it is:

And now a pic of the OIN:

Here is the car with wheels on it:



The other debate was about naming it. It got goofy, so I think I will just call it RC10.2 for now.

No, I just threw that on there. I will probably just use a small strap across the front.

So I was playing around today...

Don't know if I'll try this or not, but it looks kinda cool, They are B4.2 front Big Bores, Not the T4.2 Fronts:

Lol, it does look different. I'm curious what the racers will say.

[Orange]

I'm going to transform a B3 tower, it will look better I think.

Looks good to me!
