Just starting a thread for my 2nd Worlds ReRe build that will be for racing. Going to start with making the parts list. Some of which I've already started acquiring.

I've had my eye on the SSC10 Chassis Kit for awhile so will be watching what you do.
I have a couple... the chassis feels nice and solid. Once I finish my box-stock build. I want to get going on this to hopefully make it out to the track in a few weeks.
Thanks for pointing out the very existence of the SSC10 chassis... which I didn't know about either. This looks pretty darn awesome...
The fun bit is, I initially read "SC10" and I was thinking "wtf, man..."

I'm debating if I want to order one of his fabricated motor guards or do what the original SSC10 builds did, aka chop the tail off a chassis.
I do have a good donor chassis that has a straight tail but is otherwise hacked and scuffed to be otherwise useless.
If the "donor" chassis is of no value other than the tail section you need, dremel on!
I ended going with Boca Green Seal Bearings. I was eyeing ceramic but the cost is pretty high. We'll see how these go.
I do have to give a special thanks to Boca, because I pointed out their "World's" bearing kit was for the original, not the ReRe. After chatting with them, they gave me such a great deal I got 3 complete bearing sets for less than the cost of most ceramic kits.
"RC Car & Truck Green Seal Bearing kits have been an industry standard for many years and are specially designed for off-road or excessively dirty driving environments. These ABEC #1 bearings are maintenance free and lubed for the life of the bearing. The heavy duty rubber seal provides extra protection against the harshest elements."
I was torn... I almost bought an Avid kit because you can customize what type of bearing for each size. The Boca rep was so helpful and the discount was just too good to say no too. We'll see how they spin...
Broke down and ordered an SSC rear motor guard. Too lazy of late to hack off the tail of a chassis and have to clean it up, drill it, etc. I want to build! LOL. Crossing my fingers the bearings show up today/tomorrow so I can really get started this weekend.
