Another DR10 to RB10 conversion, now DR10/RB10/B5M/B6.4 Mashup
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2023 12:46 am
A DR10 was sitting idle with only a dozen runs on it, each one ended with the car sliding on its roof.
After reading this thread https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=114&t=47939 I started ordering parts.
The chassis, shock towers, and front bumper were dirt cheap off of ebay. The v2 shocks, exotek steering, slipper eliminator, and 17.5 motor and esc combo were ordered when I got carried away with dreams of indoor carpet racing which I have never done.
I used the hobbywing g2.1 17.5 and xr10 combo, geared 26/72 per the rules. The mesh can barely be set as the motor contacts the transmission.
All up weight with a shorty pack is 1509g, just squeaking in over the minimum.
One thing I'd like to figure out is a front sway bar. I removed the stiff rear swaybar.
