I am going to use the Dynotech Klein arms........the size of the cvd still not decided yet.........:)
A build of this caliber (ie worlds chassis/4-10) deserves RPM arms in lieu of the Klien arms :?

no direct replacement to the original MIP ones.........:(

the aluminium C-hubs were taken out from an optima.........I need to enlarge the hinge pin holes to 1/8"..........& actually I did a lot of fine modifications in order to smoothly fitting them on the RPM arms.......:)

probably I will use the TC3 steering knuckles to replace the original .........:)

I was busy in the past few months, got no time for this project :(

With reference to Miguel's RC10 front tower, I decided to re-do mine in order to make it as strong as possible. 8)

Need to polish the shinny edges later. :(
