Newschool parts in an oldschool car....

[everlast]

Here are some pics of what I´m building right now. I like to use B4 wheels on my RC10 gold pan car.

Just take the B4 hubcarriers and drill them with an 3.1mm bit and they fit right into the white rear arms. The only problem I had was the dogbones. The originals are too short and the B4 MIP´s are too long. So what I did was to tke a set of bones from my SC10 and cut a part out of the middle. So each bone end will be a total length of 33mm. Then I took a peace of brass tubing and soldered the two ends together. Thats it. Its not pretty but it gets the job done. Now I have to relocate the battery hold down in order to fit my hardcase LiPo´s in there and she´s ready to hit the track.....

It doesn't seem they would rotate true. I wish AE would just release some parts to run modern wheels.

I just bought some B44 rear CVA's to try this same mod on my team car.

Hi there.

I tried the B44 rear CVD´s the other day. And they are just a little too long for my car. So I raced my VRC10 last night in the combination I posted earlier.
The changes I made was to switch to blue springs in the front with WT50 oil and #3 pistons. In the rear I installed silver springs with WT50 oil and #1 pistons. I got to change that to #2 pistons, I think. The car really took off and had great handling on our carpet track.
I used Schumacher stagger ribs upfront and mini pins in the rear.
It is a blast to pass a B4 and gain seconds after seconds per lap

I love my VRC10

You can try rear GT hub and B44 cvd. They fit FINE

[everlast]

Allright, thanks. The old Gt hubs or GT2 hubs?

[scr8p]

b44 cvd's will NEVER fit with gt hubs. not unless you use a longer arm (dynotech, rpm worlds).

[everlast]

Are those still available? I´ve been on their hp but didnt get in that topic too deep. I hope they will ship to Germany....

is what still available, the dynotech klein arms?

take note that the price is PER ARM. they don't come as pairs, you have to buy 2.

[everlast]

Yes I ment those Klein arms. Can you tell me how much longer they are? What about the hingepins? Are the holes the same as on the RC10?

...I should read more in this forum....

[scr8p]

i think they're like a 1/4" longer. use the hinge pins that are already on your car.

[everlast]

Ok, thx. I´ll contact them to get a set of arms.....

[Asso_man!]

Or you can stick to the set up you already have, that is, original rear arms, B4 rear hubs with B4 wheel axles and BJ4 rear CVD axles. A friend of mine did it and it works good as well! Certainly less costly than the "Klein arms conversion"!

2 of those is still cheaper than a new pair of rpm worlds arms. and good luck finding a pair of worlds fronts.
