My works 92

[Peakey]

I've left my hard copy of the manual at work but looking here http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=82&t=29624 there's no reference to drilling anything, but my Japanese is so I can't read it. But I'm sure the other set of instructions that I have coming are in English so should be able to tell.

I checked the white bulkheads in my parts box, and they appear to have a 4mm hole molded into the bottom, that just misses from protruding onto the top side. Im thinking this is where the 91 cars mount their top decks through.

Hi guys. Im currently designing parts for the works 91. Im working off patterns supplied by Stickboy007.(huge thanks!) S0, I dont have a complete car to work with. Heres what Im wondering. How do you guys feel about Yokomo using additional holes in the works 91 bulk head caps to mount the top plate? I didnt realize this untill comparing my 870c top deck to the works91 topdeck,, and it became apparent that the works91 top deck does not mount through the 2mm holes that the bulk head caps secure with. So, was the builder required to make these holes them self, or were the works 91 bulk head caps pre drilled with these holes?

What size and type hardware secures the wks91 top deck?

As restoration aficionados, would there be any interest in a works 91 top deck that mounts same as the 870c topdeck, through the 2mm bulkhead screw holes,, but looks otherwise like a proper works 91 part,,, just no extra holes in the bulk head caps, and slightly longer front and rear to accommodate the factory 2mm screws?

Thanks! You guys really motivate me. Im hoping to have a works 91 replica here soon. Got most of the hardware,, working on the flat plate parts.

For a runner, I don't imagine it will make a difference. You'll just have to design the upper deck to run around the body mount post that exists on some of the rear bulkhead caps, and to make those screw holes slotted to allow for belt tension adjustment. The only problem I can see is that the bulkhead cap screws are smaller in size (2mm thread) and may not "grab" onto the upper deck as strongly as the original, thicker (I think 3mm thread) screws used on the Works.

Had a couple more bits arrive today from Aus


Just waiting on 1 more parcel then I can begin

[Peakey]

Now all I need is some time to spend on the yoke. And I want to say a massive thank you to Hugh for helping me with the parts for my Dog top guy

I managed to get a bit of spare time last night and get stuck in to the 92. After a bit of a strip and a clean I've added a new front tower, front diff, bulkhead cap, servo saver, driveshafts and of course the carbon chassis.

All the parts are NIP thanks to Alian3t for that When I'm done I'll get a pic with all the header cards.

I wanted to change the chassis as the original one hasn't got a mark on it and I wanted it to stay that way, and I really like the carbon one I'm also going to get some carbon towers and lipo holders from rccars4sal as he's done a great job on the chassis.

[Peakey]

But of an update, it's all back together with new TCS fitted just need a couple of other screws to fix my carbon top deck with but its 95% done.





Also found a nice footing servo mount and got to work with that, no servo tape for me





It's just like it was made for it fits perfectly. All I need to do is finish off the electrics and it'll be playtime

That looks awesome so far, Peakey. I love the blue alloy bits...are those all Team Suzuki parts?

[stickboy007]

Nice touch with the floating servo mount. Very cool...

[Peakey]

Thanks guys. I didn't fancy sticking the servo down and getting both the servo and the chassis caked it crap plus it should be more sturdy than just tape.
And yes Coelacanth the front C hubs are Suzuki and I've got some tears to put on and some wheel adapters

Hi Justin,

Great job, nice build! ...but I'm not sure if you will be happy with that floating servo mount. It flexes too much that way. I'm thinking about using the good, old, non-Floating sevo mounts on my b44.3. A lot of people, even Associated team drivers, are replacing the floating servo mount on their b44.3...

Cheers,
Daniel

[Peakey]

The problem I've got for that is you can't bolt it down both sides so it needs to be floating. If there is too much movement then I can always tape it down as well to add a bit of stability.

[jwscab]

yep, i'd recommend a small square of servo tape on the outboard side. with that, should be bulletproof.

nice build!

Very nice Peakey, lovely rebuild on the yokomo.
