Huh, so simple, I think you are onto something. Just trying to figure out why I haven't thought of that.romulus22 wrote:This may sound stupid but it worked really good for me. I took and old truck hingpin and put a small diagonal nick in it with some linesman pliers. Chucked it in a drill and reamed the hole a couple times. Worked good for me...

Re: VAE's 91 Stealth build
Anthony, can you bolt up a wheel, and go full lock to the right? I have the extended axles and B4 wheel, but get just the slightest bit of interference with the ball cup at full lock.

Re: VAE's 91 Stealth build
Front end will be too wide with long #7222 axles.
To have it race legal you need #6220 axles with old 3/4" wide wheels... or #7459 axles and narrowed B4 wheel.
Or then I have to make shorter arms for you...
-Niki-
EDIT: This was wrong information. Axle #7222 and B4 front wheels are spot on right and race legal. Sorry.

Re: VAE's 91 Stealth build
It okay I have the wide axles, I should be racing with a handicap anyways, people say I'm "special" so it all balances out

Niki...I think my front with wide axles and B4 wheels is spot on. But I get a slight amount of interference at full lock with the outside front ballcup

Re: VAE's 91 Stealth build
Just did it and yes, the castor block ball cup interferes with the wheel.

Re: VAE's 91 Stealth builds
This thing is coming together quite nicely. Looks like I need to order some short FT turnbuckles. I used some B4 ones for the front, but had to trim the castor block turnbuckles about a 15mm. The rears weren't even close, but I had a random short one I used for mock up. I need to order 4 all together, the steering arm and bellcrank turnbuckles and the 2 rear turnbuckles.
Here are the electronics that are hopefully going to be installed. Got some white/orange/blue wires to match my paint scheme.

Or a vertical camber ball stud and steering blocks with slightly different geometry (don't ask how I know )Niki wrote:Front end will be too wide with long #7222 axles.

Re: VAE's 91 Stealth build
I was thinking to narrow the front wheel by cutting the inner part of the wheel off.
