RC10 4WD Legend with TC3 front knuckles

Post by tiger1 »

This is a RC10 Kinwald worlds car with cut down chassis, Legend 410 conversion, TC3 front knuckles, B2 CVD at front. The reason why I elected to use TC3 front knuckles was because of the fragility of the original C-hub and knuckles, and of course parts supply was a concern too.

would you mind posting a closeup pic of a front corner? Any modifications necessary to make the TC parts fit?

Looks great. I would love to see some close up pics too. Does it have a diff in the front or is it just a free wheel?

RC10 are very good cars anyway, frankly, the 4wd conversion did NOT significantly improve the car IMHO. Using the 2wd front tires just to retain the 2wd look and IMHO, it drives well regardless. :wink:

Thanks for the kind comments.

Speaking of a runner, I personally made some 3mm and 4mm belts for this car. Vintage without exercise is like no soul :D

May be it is just me, but mixing Losi parts with AE cars does not sound good... :o :shock:

May be I just have to try it out :P
