Looks good, I like the use of the B6 series radio gear plate, such a simple thing but makes tear down so much nicer
I can't read the logo, what stand offs are those that you are using to hold down the battery?

The B6 radio gear plate is also a 56gr weight. Battery stand offs are from Revolution Design, originally made for the Yokomo YZ2 I believe. They use metric screws but have the advantage of not having to drill and countersink new holes.

Re: - RC10 Graphite: a runner with long printed arms -
Thanks mate! Slipper unit is a Triad Evo Slipper Clutch from Avid. Made for the B6 or Losi 22 but with some tinkering it seems to work on the B4 shaft. Will have to see on the long run as there is a tiny play between the shaft and the slipper fixed rings.sandkil wrote: ↑Fri Dec 18, 2020 4:09 amNice build!Asso_man! wrote: ↑Thu Dec 17, 2020 9:31 am I also wanted to flip the shorty servo and free some space in front of the battery to mount weights, receiver and ESC.
The steering design from Niki is brilliant for this and available from Shapeways.
The only mod I will bring to it is cutting the side ears and fabricate a steering rack for a better Ackerman.
I will also swap the 30 degrees front hubs for 25 degrees ones.
All ball studs, ball ends, pins, turnbuckles and upper shock mounts are titanium and made by Lunsford.
What slipper set up are you using on the stealth?
I'm tinkering with the Ackermann as well.
The first rack I did, I just copied the Ackermann offset from the "worlds bell crank". I was mainly focusing on the bump steer.
I'll guess once driving the thing there will be tweeking of all kinds of parameters eventually.
I will copy a rack from A&L using the inner mounting holes for the steering links.

Parts have been degreased, cleaned and deburred. Now ready for a black azabache Rit Dye bath!

Ok so all parts and more for future projects took a good dye bath. AE parts take the dye quickly, it was not the case with the 3D printed parts: they took almost eight hours to get to a gun metal/deep blue/blackish colour. They are still wet on the below picture.

Getting closer and closer to a roller! Still waiting for the 870c universals to get there.
I fabricated a stab bar with random parts for the rear.
Next up are rebuilding a Stealth and filling shocks.

Re: - RC10 Graphite: a runner with long printed arms -
Sadly I bought the wrong Yokomo universal driveshafts. These are rear zc-421 and I need zc-422 which are about 5mm longer. If anyone wants to swap a pair of new zc-421 for a pair of new zc-422, I would be all over it.

Re: - RC10 Graphite: a runner with long printed arms -
Quick update here as this beast is now almost ready to turn some laps next spring. I recently offered a runner to my younger son and we plan to have fun at a track nearby that recently opened. I’ll make sure to post some videos here afterwards.
I’m really happy with overall result and the car seems running fine in the living room lol. I would just love to find an alternative for the rear Yokomo ZC-422 that measure 73,5mm pin to pin. I know AE has 74mm driveshafts for the B74, but I am not sure how they measure them and they would probably need some massaging around the bone ends as modern universals are thicker. Maybe Kyosho or Losi have alternatives that could work?
Paint by the master A. Bond, aka VintageAE!
Here is a list of what is in there:
- Lunsford ti axles, ball studs, ball ends and turnbuckles
- Front shocks: 1.6 piston, 21mm shafts with 27mm Kashima Fox bodies, 37.5 oil, orange springs
- Rear shocks: 1.7 piston, 27mm shafts with 36mm Kashima Fox bodies, 32 oil, blue springs
- 3D printed arms all around (3DRC on Shapeways)
- 3D printed 0 degree rear hubs to accept Yokomo universals/bearings
- 3D printed bell cranks from NixConcept (Shapeways)
- 180 degrees flipped rear shock tower to align the big bore shocks to the rear arms
- home made composite rear tranny brace
- home made rear sway bar
- home made battery holder made from Pure Tech battery holders, Andy’s battery holder, Traxxas clip standoffs and Revolution Design posts
- home made front Kydex bumper
- Yokomo wheel adapters all around
- Rusti Design front and rear shock towers made for big bore shocks
- B6 wing mounts
- JCRacing wheels and wing
- 25 degrees front c-hubs
- ceramic diff balls
- Triad slipper on B4 top shaft
- RPM rere gear cover
- Yokomo 870-C lexan undertray
- decals from Ultrahive

Very cool build. Do you have the part number for those front wheel hub/adapters?

Re: - RC10 Graphite: a runner with long printed arms -
thank you. The front hubs are Yokomo, TH-1 is the reference for the rears, not sure for the fronts. They are also available at Shapeways from 3DRC.Garage Hack wrote: ↑Sun Feb 14, 2021 5:41 pm Very cool build. Do you have the part number for those front wheel hub/adapters?

Cool build David. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the printed parts hold up for you.

Re: - RC10 Graphite: a runner with long printed arms -
I have a set of the TH-1's for the rear. I will check out 3DRC for the fronts. Thanks!
