Hello Cedric?

[kenooze]

Don't worry !

I worked on few other projects !
I comeback to this one shortly .
I found the lasr RCPS turnbuckles and the end caps .
So now, just need the front carbon fiber tower and a rear special Carbon sheet to make one replica .
I need also to finish to machin my chassis, and I probably find the Motor plate from an hold AE team driver .

Stay tunned

[Group B]

This is my job of the week-end.
I'm waiting for the carbon plate to build the rear tower, May be next week-end...

What is the purpose of the blue washers under the ball studs, and where were they sourced from?

eliminating bump steer.

[Group B]

Are those only necessary when using certain caster blocks?

[templeofspeed]

I'm pretty sure those are countersunk washers flipped over. RC10's seem to suffer from bump steer no matter what castor blacks are used.

[scr8p]

it's just something you need to play with on your particular car.

[dubfreak]

awsome job cedric cant wait to see it done

I'm back on the way !

Today I try to design the rear tower

Tomorrow, I work on the front one.

What's your comments, I'm right or not ?

[templeofspeed]

I bet BK just hacked his out freehand...

the battery strap sure looks like it was. he must've had a case of red bull before reaching for the dremel.

[slotcarrod]

Tower looks good Cedric! Nice work and a bunch of time to do up that cad. Make some extra towers when you get yours cut and sell them!

[kenooze]

Well,

Today the chassis is done !
I use a HPC to be sure about the cut down dimension of the edges.
In fact I have many pictures of the kinwald car with the speedo on side of the chassis , so that's provide me a strong help with this

I start shortly to build the car !













If you find something looking wrong, tell me !

[kenooze]

Yep, today I started to build the rear end of the car.

First step, rear machined arms, long inner pin with washers and standard white arm mount and hub.



I'm so lucky to collect from a long time this new set of original design MIP cvd's



Last washers and blue nuts



Here also, after tightened the blue nuts, the rear bulkhead fit perfectly the trimmed chassis





Few screws, nuts and RCPS turnbuckles adjustments later, the rear end look like this

Love it, looking really good.
