Now its got black arms, rere Worlds in front and original Worlds in back. May go back to white when I stop crashing so much.
I also added some carbon fiber goodness from CNCRC (aka seabass) to go with my towers, a battery strap and trans brace. Thanks Jake, they look awesome!
You have to piece it together yourself. White wide arms weren't even re-released.
Converting a short arm to Championship Edition spec requires:
Front arms
Front shocks
Front shock tower
Front caster blocks
Front steering blocks
Front axles
Drilling the correct inner camber link holes on the rear bulkhead
Rear hub carriers
All of the turnbuckles
Obviously you can get away without some of these things but that's what it takes to get stock CE geometry.
I turned my short arm into a CE, minus the front shocks. Then I got a Stealth CE with a pink chassis and now I'm almost done converting the short arm back. IMO it's best to appreciate the short arm for what it is and get a long arm/ Stealth car if you decide you want more. With the amount of changes that you need to make to get it right the car looses it's original identity.
. . . you have Associated Green Slime for brains. And not even new Green Slime, but old gooped out Green Slime.
You can get away with just arms and longer tie rods but you won't be getting the added benefits from the longer shocks, caster blocks, inline axles ect
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas Factory Works website
Most short arm cars had poo for caster blocks (15-20 degree), even less if the car was run as an oval car. Its just safer to pick up fresh ones so you know what is on there.

nope, no markings. take front wheel off and look at the angle in relation to the front tower. front tower is 30 degrees, if they are parallel, you have 30 degree caster blocks

Are you saying that based on this pic? For the 30 degrees ones, the two red lines should be parallel and for the 15 degree ones they would look about like mine, with 15 degrees between them? Is that right?
this is what happens when creativity meets a bunch misc parts laying around........

to nice of a chassis to beat up. even with the worlds rear end it is still a real worlds car chassis. i understand though, gotta run something can't have everything on the shelf!!
i use jconcepts 3m film on the bottom.. it keeps it nice and safe...
Can any of you gents tell me which one is easier to drive or better for racing? I currently have a Team car with the long arms, but have often wondered if a WOIN long arm version would be better. Just a thought. Thanks in advance

dynotech klein arms are it, unless you have a set of actual rpm wolrds arms, or find a set of jake's arms. or come up with something totally different.
Hello all,
As many of you know, I have a short- arm Rc10. I have been thinking about partially or fully converting the front suspension over to CE specs for easier parts replacement. I know I want the arms and steering blocks, and I know I need the...

The Rc10 Championship Edition and all later models had .71 shocks up front correct?
I have a rere worlds car coming whenever they unload it off the donkey they used to get it from Cali. I'm thinking of using new electronics, probably an inexpensive brushless system in that for bashing. Since I've been into crawling the last few...

It won't be *bad*, it's a little hot for that car.
id like to know the rc10 (long arm) steering tirod part#???? if someone knows different part that would work that would be great too.. the site i would use to find the info is down

thanks alot found the part #s on ebay and ordered them
I had the idea to not just build the rollcage I got from optiman into a normal RC10 short, or extended arm buggy. I wanted to go a bit extreme, and Vintage AE's build was part of my inspiration including the long RPM arms and overall look of his....

Looking at that chassis and those parts makes me envious - This is going to be an awesome build.
I busted one of my stub axles the other day presumably bc i have too much down travel in my shocks ( im gonna fit that soon) and my stub axles are old and warn...

thanks gomachv.
Also, when i mount the shocks on the outer most hole on the rear arms, the tire touches the shock. the rear is set with some negative camber. would i just need to go more neutral to positive camber ideally or just not use the outer...
