Re: Car#1 RC10DS graphite mid mount conversion
I just ordered the last one he had. I wanted to do this to mine for a while. I have a nds so this will help me run normal lipos in the car where the rc10gt I can only run short lipos. Please keep the pics coming.

For sure man, just realizing the rear suspension swap is way more involved then just swapping parts directly over..............................acrazyjohnny wrote: ↑Mon Feb 04, 2019 2:27 pm I just ordered the last one he had.

Re: Car#1 RC10DS graphite mid mount conversion
From what I see look like you can use the stock front bulk head look to be same shape.and reason us the kits instead of the factory one. And would you say the chassis is thicker than the aluminum chasis

Re: Car#1 RC10DS graphite mid mount conversion
NICE!!!
I just received my conversion kit from the post office this friday .
I want to try the kit as a whole with a doner DS rather than what i did before, which was convert an already converted mid engine RC10 buggy to a DS. https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=43050
Look forward to seeing your progress!

Re: Car#1 RC10DS graphite mid mount conversion
Yes looks like you can use the same shock tower but the kit shock tower looks to be a stronger design. The chassis is the same thickness as the stock tower material so yes it’s thicker.acrazyjohnny wrote: ↑Mon Feb 04, 2019 7:17 pm From what I see look like you can use the stock front bulk head look to be same shape.and reason us the kits instead of the factory one.

Re: Car#1 RC10DS graphite mid mount conversion
Finished up the rear, requires flipping the arms and moving the spacer on the axle carrier to the other side to get the correct wheelbase back. Swaybar I just flipped it backwards not sure if its going to work I may have to mount some stops so it doesnt pop out from behind the shock tower but its in their tight....

Re: Car#1 RC10DS graphite mid mount conversion
Wish I could help brother it came with the car. I’m sure someone here should know the part number for those shiny cvd’s.

Re: Car#1 RC10DS graphite mid mount conversion
if you want to keep that slammed to the ground look but improve the rear squat, you can probably swap in these rear hubs, which will raise the axle centerline and bring the rear arms more level.

they should pretty much be a drop in, and offer 2 lower arm positions. Your upper link may need to be adjusted out a bit however.

That's a very nice build so far, KidAgain. I love seeing creativity and re-engineering projects like this.

Re: Car#1 RC10DS graphite mid mount conversion
Thanks for the tip bud, I'm kind of new to the onroad game been an offroader all my life, I didnt realize the slammed look isnt a thing with these cars. I cant imagine how much lower it will be with the electronics in her. So arms level like my offroad truckjwscab wrote: ↑Wed Feb 06, 2019 1:35 pm if you want to keep that slammed to the ground look but improve the rear squat, you can probably swap in these rear hubs, which will raise the axle centerline and bring the rear arms more level.
