RC10 Shock/Arm Clearance Question

Quote

Post by limestang » Wed Dec 02, 2015 10:38 am

When working with the wide RC10 front arms, I often run into clearance issues attempting to install the lower shock mount. My usual solution is to file the arm until there is enough clearance. Is there a better solution?

Thanks, Mark

I usually file or trim just a touch to make it easy. Its a tight fit.

I haven't run into many issues with the parts you posted. The "flanged" rod ends on the other hand need clearancing.

i used the factory b4 balls. they fit into the stock plastic shock ends. fits perfect in the arm.

Ok so i got a set of Houge trailing arms off eBay. Will they only work with a Houge chassis? can they be used on a AE graphite chassis?

Last post

That looks like a A&L arm setup, just like the buggy i just built (Mine is fiberglass)

I'em getting parts together to get another club racer going its going to take awhile to do, for what i want to do with it and one of the things is i want to go with is the widest a-arms front and back,that are still available ,and also what mods...

Last post

Yes, you are looking for a Rc-10 Talk WOIN buggy. That is the most common, but others here have used 10T arms with some modifications. Take some time and read through all the builds here to find what parts you want to use, then make a huge order....

I found a set of new Houge trailing arms in my parts box. Do I need a special chassis or will a conventional chassis drilled properly work (like a gold or black tub)?

Last post

For those whom know....I have already ordered a couple replacement sets (hoping the B2 rear mounts are the same!!)...as I am cleaning up my B3, I noticed the rear mounts 'say' different things. R3/3 (I know this is 3 degrees in, 3 degrees squat),...

Last post

Yes, the re-re wheels work fine. They are correct for the B2, they are the 'narrow' version. I do have one used set of 'real' b3 wheels. They will have some fresh tires mounted soon :)

I have an RC10 and a truck body. I'd like to widen the rear track so I don't have to butcher the body. Can I just swap in RC10GT rear arms and dogbones? Will the mounting blocks and uprights from the RC10 fit the RC10T rear arms? I have Andy's wide...

Last post

Sorry for the confusion, talking about 2 different cars. I was looking at DS front arms on a Trackmaster conversion chassis. I don't like the RC10 front arms and was wondering if they were interchangeable. Still looking for short RPM or Andy's...
