all truck and non worlds style buggy plates have 2 sets of mounting holes. short wheelbase, long wheelbase.

Thanks,

I've always cut my plate since the 80's, just like the worlds. Guess I can experiment first before doing this, or just have to plates.

Sorry, I have been quite busy lately opening a new office... Hopefully after Aug 1st, that starts to settle down a bit.

I did at first, but you have to use quite a bit of limiters and it made the car not so good on big jumps. I have since switched to the standard size rear tower with zero limiters.

Just for the record... Where I came from, we used to use 1.02 shafts inside 1.32 shock bodies rather than using limiters. If you compare the 1.02/1.32 combo shock with a 1.18... They are nearly identical with the exception of travel with the 1.18 having more travel. I have never taken calipers to them, but they could be exactly the same length. If there were a couple more mounting options on Jakes arms, then I would like this car even more... I like it a lot as it is though.

One thing to note, you need stiffer springs using the standard tower.

Using the standard/or worlds rear tower with the b4 rear big bore shocks, what length shafts did you use?

Same shaft that came with the shocks. No change.

This is one incredible build. I have to say its the best RC10 I have seen on this forum. Awesome work, with the body on I don't think most people would know its an old school RC10.

Thank you, that's a mighty compliment based on some of the builds on this website... And there are some incredible builds here. Mine is just a small sampling.

Done deal, the arms will be made when I get back, just got to wait about 6 months is all .

Put me on that list if you have one cause I will definately be in on getting a couple sets of these arms when they are available. I have a few extra parts to build a second buggy and I will be paying tribute to the overall design ideas of this one. Thanks for the great build.

I'll take a set as well homie.

Nice build Sean, just want to ask, what is better, a stock (short) Bigbore Front shocks or he SC10 Long Front Shocks up front? planning to upgrade my runner. im torn between running a long or standard short shocks in a Truck nose piece.

cant figure if your using the short or the long SC10 shocks. getting old I think..

thanks.

I used B4 front Big Bores up front. drilled a B3 front tower to fit.

I'm going to make a detailed list with pictures of this build soon.... Possibly Monday.

will you be able to make a front tower for a B4.2 Bigbore for a RC10T from bulkhead? would be nice though....

thanks, also planning to upgrade to a B4.2 Bigbores, but the towers are really a show stopper.. ahhaha . how does the B4.2 BBs feel? is it good?

I'm up to the point of trying to decide which front tower to choose going the BB route. With so many variations and no dimensions it's hard to choose without trying a few.
