Re: Gomachv's 4wd RC10 project, still unnamed and unproven
This gets better every other day! Nice progress .
I would think about a hinge-pin-brace type piece running between the front camber link mounts, right behind the ball ends. It may be pretty easy to torque those (very clever) extended ball ends out of whack otherwise. Just a thought.
I see McMaster Carr's MXL and XL timing belt pulleys are cheap enough (<$10) that you could buy a couple that may not fit, but would be a jumping off point for ol' Seabass...

The brace is already in the works, I am fighting my inability to cut a straight line by hand lol! The pin router is awesome for template stuff but terrible for freehand
The pullies from McMaster Carr don't look too bad but spd has a nice selection too, I just need to sit down and figure out what I want.

This is a pretty sexy build! ....
When are the conversion kits coming out? (Had to say it since it surprisingly hasn't yet, )

This is one of those builds where if you can't build it yourself from scratch you don't deserve to have one.

Pretty much, it's a matter of modifying the kickup and making a front tower, the rest is dremel and xacto
That said, towers and front kickups may get made in small quantities

Re: Gomachv's 4wd RC10 project, still unnamed and unproven
Hmmm...do I like this more than the Bullet FWD car? I think so!
How about calling it the RZ-10, like a cross between a YZ-10 and RC10.
Or maybe The 10-4 Legend?
Any chance you could run a HyperDrive belt pulley on both ends?

The car looks really good. If I can get my machine up and running, I have a way to make some really nice pulleys. I just got to get the rest of the machine done, it is super close too.

How about a play on CB terms?
Rc 10-4 Over and Out?
Could mean the belt passes over the battery and outside the transmissions?

Will do, although there are a few steps to go until I will be ready to mass produce lol!

cant u use one of these belt pullies. get rid of the pin cut down the trans shaft and notch the shaft so the pully can be screwed on?

That would be a very expensive way to go, McMaster Carr and sdp are better sources once I sit down and determine size

I wonder how long before someone copies this idea and makes it twice as heavy in alloy.
