Which arms are you going to be using, the RPM or the Klein?

I may go with RPM in the back, but I plan on AE arms up front. The way I drive, it needs to be something I can hit the LHS and pick up!

If you are using the RPM, you will need B3 cvd's. I used the RPM arms on the Stepchild blue chassis, and used the B3 cvd's. B4s are too long.

I was under the impression than the B3 CVD were too short, that's why ya had to mill out the inner rear hubs to allow for the length of the B4 CVD, but I could be wrong.

the B3 is the perfect length for an "almost stock" sized set up. In fact, I am using them for the CE build as well.



I got them from Dynotech Racing. The carriers are RPM RC10GT carriers.

i have milled out rear hubs, I plan on using B4 wheels all around.

Ah......

little progress..







like most here...I have bitten off more than I can chew and started a couple other parts collections (soon to be builds also)

turnin out good...

i think we all have to many goin...
i even started another

it never ends....i found an old oval car with the losi alloy steering bits that will end up on this car!

Donor car showed up, lots more hidden goodies on that car than I anticipated, so I spent all day yesterday re-dying the purple-ish stuff back to black, had just gotten done refinishing (fancy word for spray painting) an A chassis/noseplate, so off the graphite plate (maybe a future project) and onto the A pan all the parts went. Tossed the ARTR onto eBay to fund the next steps of this build...

So:

I have de-anno'd the B4 RTR shocks, gave them a quick polish, put all white hardware on there.
Counter sunk all the screwheads on the pan.
Cleaned up the Losi steering.
Aquired all 4 black arms I needed.
Polished nose tubes and "borrowed" the dog bones/axles from the RTR B4 I robbed the shocks from.

Still needed:

Electronics (earlier items are about 70/30 to the positive going in here)
Rulux wheels (I have the rear already)
Rebuild the shocks (they arent to happy right now)
CVD/Universals in the back
Atlas towers on both ends (the CE towers are only for mock up)

Like many good builds here, this is will get a name - Faux Worlds
I figure since it is the classic Worlds style white/black, just missing the important bits...towers, stealth & brace, milled chassis....

Pics:







OMG...is that a Losi part I spy?

Very nice looking build.

Off with the old towers, on with the new Atlas towers...









and dont mind the mess in the back....another project in the works (RPM truck) for my buddy, Rusty-racing

That looks very nice and clean.

after looking at Eau Rouge's build...I have a lot to work towards.

I still need to get my universals (or CVDs), trim the noseplate and finish the electronics...

OH...body, wing and the real wheels (Rulux).
