Short wheelbase T4

Quote

I guess the simple question is how much can you shorten a T4. A half inch or so would be plenty. Can you swap in a B4 chassis?
Just asking because I've got a body that would work much better on a shorter chassis.
LMK, thanks.

You could use the B4 for short, or B4.2 (+8) for medium, but you will find both to be twitchy or harder to drive than the longer T4 chassis, it is much more stable!

You can in fact use a b4 chassis but it will be much harder to drive like slotcarrod said. If you want to make the t4 into a buggy, the j82 conversion kit from jconcepts is really cool

Almost all my posts will be edited because I know what I want to write, but my fingers always hit the wrong keys.

How much do you think a swb CAT or XLS CAT would go for? I am thinking of selling mine in a bid to get some money. If its not much then I'll keep them as I had to hunt them down for a long time.

Cheers

Hello Jeroen,
I would be happy to talk with Darryn- we are after all the founding members of 'Team Monkey Pus Racing'. The matter may well be more with Antony,he is very busy these days.Im not sure he'll want to do the SWB CAT let alone an XLS....

Has anyone here ever run the nose plate in the forward position like the trucks do where the chassis is 7/16 longer? I could have sworn I did this back in the day and my friend swears we did too but I don't know of anyone else who did. Back then I...

There are 2 tracks near me. The closer one to me is outdoors. It has always been fairly poorly maintained but today and tomorrow they are making some pretty big changes to it. I'm told it will be much tighter than it used to be. The other track is...

I am away from home for a few days. Can anyone let me know the wheelbase of an RC10 please? ie, distance between front axle and rear axle centres. Ideally for a Worlds, or any gold pan with the nose in the normal shorter position. Roughly is fine as...

Last post

I just measured mine the other nite and at the short wheelbase it was 275ish I believe. The long WB was like 285ish.

Why were there several options for the wheelbase on the 10T yet there is little mention of using it for tuning? For example the noseplate has 2 sets of holes about 3/8 of inch shorter or longer. My B chassis has two sets of holes for the rear a-arm...

Yup, just new holes to make the mid motor configuration work- we used to do the same thing, but with a graphite car so you didn't have to cut the tub.

Can somebody with an SC10 please measure the wheelbase, at standard right height and with the chassis bottomed out? I'm trying to figure out how much to stretch a 10T chassis to fit the body. My original plan was to line up the wheels in the fenders...

I've been searching the forums and someone mentioned that the XL wheelbase is ~1/2 (13mm) longer than the base model. But the body I have from Penguin has two cut lines and they're probably only about 6mm apart. Does anyone know for certain how much...

They line up with the set screws in the outdrives :wink:
