wow, i never you made a nitro version cool. sent you a pm.

Wow Reg, where can I get one of those sheets with the 20 degree kick up. I have wanted one like that for a long time. Any chance of letting me know? or selling me one? Please PM Me, please.
BTW, love the chassis.

hey that kickup plate is sweet!

could you send a price if any are for sale?

nice rides btw.

I may section some blanks F/S in the near future, now lets stop hijacking jay's thread--thnx for the compliments

Last off topic!

Hey wylbill if at all I'd only need the width for a single chassis, not a whole sheet, didn't want to cause no harm.

Yea, sorry about that, but you can put me in the list for one sheet.
So Jay, how is the world’s graphite car coming? I want to see how the rear end works out.

i'll bet i asked him about it first.

well, i still need to pick up a couple odds and ends for it yet. i'm hoping to get it done fairly soon, since i'd like to run this one at the vintage race. i'll have to toss some rpm arms on it, though.

i know aeiou has a black tub that has the rear suspension setup like this. if he sees this, maybe he'll post some pics. i think he used b4 castor blocks and steering knuckles on the front of his. i'm going to be slightly modifing a losi lxt a-1017 kit for mine. the castor blocks are identical to the ones that come in the rpm worlds steering enhancement kit, but the arms on the knuckles need to be cut down a bit.

Sounds good, I am really interested in building one like this, so I will se how you manage to get it done… it is looking good

I'd be really interested to see how that works out shodog...I still regret butchering my steering enhancement kit years and years ago Pics when you get it done would be greatly appreciated!

i threw some parts on it tonight to mock-up the front end. disregard all of the beat up and rusted items. i always use old parts when i'm mocking stuff up, especially tie rods and ball ends.

i used the castor blocks and steering knuckles for the losi lxt, since they're almost identical to the rpm steering enhancement kit. and as i hoped, the track width is almost dead on to a stock rc10 using the b4 rims.

So that is why you wanted some LXT parts. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why when you asked.

ya, they work out pretty good, too. no bump steer or nothing.

i think i'm gonna have to add a couple camber locations to the shock tower, though. in the top hole, it throws almost no negative camber during compression, and in the bottom hole it has too much.
