A-Main Bullet Fwd 4ws RC10 conversion Tribute build

[Phin]

Lucky bastard.

So does that one have two kick ups or just the one for a bumper?

[GoMachV]

Two just as you drew, one at 7 for the susp mounts and one at 22 for the bumper

Gonna need some material laid up

[Phin]

Our guess was what 10 and 20?

A single kick-up like the other Bullet chassis you got would make things a lot easier. Also the flat chassis is easier to mount a Stealth trans on which someone is definitely going to want to do.

[jwscab]

yeah, that's kinda dumb. make one kick, and make the bumper out of kydex or lexan with the other angle bent into it. same result, way less work.

[GoMachV]

Thats my plan, zero kick g10 and caster shims, and add a kydex bumper

[Phin]

I meant keep the bumper kick-up and lose the 7 degree kick-up for the arm mounts. It's looks like A-Main made the Bullets that way at one point so it's still "authentic".

[GoMachV]

Problem is still the 7* kick up material is custom so $$$

I do think 7* material would be cool to have tho, lots of 4wd cars could use it

[jwscab]

7 degrees isn't that much. could maybe print custom caster shims.

[GoMachV]

Brian has some 10 degree on shapeways and I ordered a set. Now thinking about it they are reversed. Doh

[GoMachV]

Got most of it together and happy. Hard to get those deltas on the car before they leak all over lol. I need to see if i can find a few rebuilds or at least "o-rings" or whatever they call em. I even had the servo they recommended, a 131sh. Still need rear tires, rear wheels, crp axles, and a speed control.

3° front camber, 7° rear, front toe out, rear toe in per the setup guide

[longboardnj]

so cool, almost looks like it could be set up fwd or rwd mid motor

[GoMachV]

Since I have an original now, and the tribute, I decided "why not build a runner" haha. Instead of trying to locate or have made a kickup chassis, I had Brian make up some reverse caster wedges to give me a little fake kickup. I'll probably shorten the nose a bit too. Jsou made up the servo mount brackets, much easier than making them out of Delrin or nylon. This is as far as I have got, I'll hopefully have a chance to make it a roller soon. One day it will run

[mk-Zero]

too cool, can't wait to see it finished and running!

Hurry up and produce a kit! I was going to run a Ten4 and ARP repro at 2016 VONATS but this one has my name all over it! I love these weird, goofy variations.




Seriously, I need a kit!

[GoMachV]

I wonder if they would make you run in 4wd
Kits won't be a problem, but I'd like to know it works first! If you and limestang want early kits I can work on a couple but you'll have to help work out any kinks!
