Re: Dave's Ten4
Hi Guys,
I was saying,
after a lot of work,
a lot of swearing,
and in between measuring,
marking out,
drilling,
sand blasting,
I have this,
Real engineers, now is the time to look away!
Cheers, Dave.

Re: Dave's Ten4
Nice job indexing all those holes! I've done a lot of projects at work involving speed holes and I know how tedious it can be
What's you plan for finish on the chassis?

Hi Guys,
RJ loves my Octi-Grabs, but no love for the Viper fronts.
Hi Dillon,
I'm going to leave it bare aluminum, hopefully to look like a factory prototype.
Cheers, Dave.

Re: Dave's Ten4
Thanks Brian,
If it wasn't for you and Jeff this build would still be languishing.
The idea of a 4wd just gave me the push I needed to get going on it again.
It's only been 5 years give or take a couple of months.
Some more progress but I have run out of parts.
Cheers, Dave.

Re: Dave's Ten4
Ooooooo..... That's gonna be interesting with the short arms and lowering kit. Uncharted territory
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

Re: Dave's Ten4
Hi Jeff,
I never said I knew what I was doing, I'm making it up as I go along.
It is purely a fantasy car I dreamed of building 5 years ago,
now hopefully it will be 4wd. Sweeet
The first time I put it together I re-drilled another chassis for a mid mount 6 gear,
it was ugly, a lot of holes in the bottom of the chassis.
I made a lot of mistakes with that one, but did learn a lot, time to start afresh.
Cheers, Dave.

Re: Dave's Ten4
Hi Guys,
Hi Adam,
Thanks Mate!
I have made some more progress,
I found that I can use RC10T hinge pins with a couple of shims.
I will try to take some more pics this afternoon.
I have turned the front diff into a spool, by leaving out the diff balls and cutting drive rings
out of rubber sheet.
Since it won't need to turn I used bushings instead of bearings and replaced the 6 small ball
bearings with a 4-40 small pattern nut as a spacer.
I have done this before with my T3 when running a 3 cell lipo, it works!
Cheers, Dave.

Re: Dave's Ten4
Hi Guys,
The promised pics,
The postie brought some more parts from Tower Hobbies,
but now I am out of parts again!
I am using vintage #6360 RC10 rear arm mounts that are 1.5 degree toe-in, not re-release #6360
rear arm mounts which are 3 degree with #6366 1.5 degree rear carriers.
I put the left hub carrier on the right hand side and right hand hub carrier on the left hand side to
give zero toe in.
Cheers, Dave.

Re: Dave's Ten4
Thank you Dillon,
It's coming together, I just hope I can make it all work.
Now I have to be patient until some more parts turn up and others become available.
Oh and I need to put some more money aside.
Cheers, Dave.
