DS suspension?

Quote

Post by MelvinsArmy » Thu Dec 07, 2006 3:30 pm

Are the suspension arms on the RC10DS shorter than a regular buggy? If so, about how wide is a DS? Does it use different dog bones?

I don't know the exact width, but yes they are shorter, and yes they do use shorter dogbones as well.

narrower front and rear arms, narrower front bulkhead and kickup too.

front width on a DS is about an inch narrower than short arm goldtub, rear is about an inch or so shorter as well with shorter dogbones.

Melvin - 8" wide and 10.5" wheel base. The DS was primarily an onroad setup but you can do a bit of tweaking with it.

I just aquired an original #6016 RC10 Gold Pan. I took apart the front end to clean it and I put it back together. However, when I compress the suspension all the way, both wheels turn in. I dont know if I put it together wrong somehow, or if this...

Hope fully this topic will inspire good discussion without getting too cerebral, and you won't need a PhD in physics.

When the RC10 was in it's biggest heydey, all of these great aftermarket parts were produced in order to tweak the most out of its...

Another factor in all of this is the track material and design. I was watching some clips on YouTube highlighting the older tracks. They seems like faster tracks w/ fewer jumps and that seems to play a role in racing as well.. Over the years, tracks...

Just came across a XX CR suspension update for the XX. Just wondering what it is? Looks like different front spindles, and rear hubs, maybe different rear A arms? You guys think it's a good update for my XX?

Last post

So it looks like a good upgrade, the only downside is spares... if something brakes, it might be hard to get replacements. Unless Losi sill makes them.

The first edition of the XXX shared the same rear wishbones, hubs & central mounting plate IIRC...

The May 5th issue of Machine Design has an article on a new independent suspension design. It's an interesting read, although the design seems overly-complicated to me at first glance. What's cool, however, are the prototype pics built using RC...

Starting to put one of these together. Mainly because it was the first RC off road I built back when it came out. Shied away from it later because there were no parts available. You had to buy a whole kit to keep the suspension arms that seemed to...

There WERE graphite composite B3 front arms from AE. I'm sure there still are... you'll just have to LOOK for them.
