WOIN RC10 "new" build...

[NomadRacer]

Starting another build, almost have all the parts to get started.

All that's needed are a few more parts; rear arm mounts (ordered), shock end caps and collars (ordered), turnbuckles, and misc. parts.

[NomadRacer]

Motor- 17.5T Brushless Arrowmax, chosen for the gold accent anodizing

[NomadRacer]

Starting at the front; I have Factory Works carbon fiber front shock tower for big bore shocks, AE Steering bell cranks, Avid Bearings, AE, dyed black front arm mounts and Factory Works button head load bearing washers.

I'll be using stainless steel hardware everywhere I can.

Always looking forward to your builds Nomad. You are a master RC craftsman to be sure.

Ummm, also, not to be pushy but are you planning to wrap up some of your other builds anytime soon? I recall that a couple of them still need painted bodies. Not being pushy -- just asking...

I don't really know why but after checking a pic of the motor the first thing that struck me was "BumbleBee"ish.
Nice choice.

While I was installing the steering bell cranks I found the shims for the bottom of the bell crank bushing nuts to be a little bit out of wack. One shim being thicker than the other. I fixed this with some T.O.P. Racing 1mm thick aluminum shims for pan car rear axles. These parts are a bit hard to find now a days.

XLR8- The weather is getting just about right for some outdoor painting.

Yes Chuck, the motor is quite the "looker"

Got a bit more done on the build. Servo is a Savox 1258TG with Exotek servo horn and Avid servo mounts. The servo mounting washers were made by me. The arms are World's wide track with 30* caster block carriers. 24mm titanium screws used with Avid B6 Shock standoffs and Lunsford hinge pins. Black ball studs are used for the front camber links.I will be switching those out for some AE Ti Nitride ones (on order) later on.

The black/gold theme you have going looks very nice Nomad.

What are the black ball studs you mentioned -- are they dimensionally similar to the standard kit studs?

Yes, they are dimensional to kit studs... .20 and .300" long with 4-40 threads. They are broached ends though, (2mm). I'm pretty sure I got them as a set from the B44 series. Can't call the kit for sure right now.

I'm digging the black/gold myself.

[XLR8]

Thanks Nomad. While they're probably not appropriate for a restoration project, I think they'd be fine for everything else. I find the broached ones a little easier to install and tighten. I wasn't aware they'd fit vintage style ball cups.

[NomadRacer]

I have the Ti Nitride ball studs now, along with Lunsford Titanium Wide Front Axles (RC10GT). Next, bust out the RIT Dyemore Graphite and dye the rear bulkhead and the Stealth transmission cases.

Wow looks great man, I have a gold anodized servo arm that matches the gold on the servo any interest ill send it to you.

also would you happen to have a part number for the GT axle from lunsford?

The part number for the Titanium wide front axles are LNS7048. They are on the Lunsford web site now

I'd be interested in your gold servo arm
