Except for the TLR Typhon, Arrma doesn’t have them either. Most don’t, so it isn’t really a budget consideration. Most 1/6 Arrmas need a new rear hinge pin holder with different pills, like the Scorched one. I’m not aware of anything for the AK917. But for what it’s worth, one guy took one to...

No problem! I’m sure you know already, but anything screwing into metal should be loctited (blue) and those need heat to remove. I usually use the tip of a soldering iron to heat them up before I remove them. And after years of cussing, I now only ever use MIP hex drivers.

Which hardware? I ordered the motor mount from Rlaarlo. Like @Jerold mentioned above, some guys are using a Hobao motor mount and that one allows a 40xx sized can. If you’re talking screws and nuts kind of hardware, my only advice is to stay away from stainless, as it’s much softer than plain...

What a great thread, thanks again @Jerold

Did you ever get vertical stabilizers on the rear? Everybody speed running these seems to think it’s a must for straight line stability, and once speeds approach 80-100 the aero of the body kicks in and keeps it planted better. That’s what I’ve heard anyway. I’m really looking forward to...

TMI on the mod-1 explanation. Enough to scare anybody away from doing the swap! 😂 But seriously man, great information. Just curious, what 48p spurs will go in there, I mean by brand/type, not size? I’m sure your RR pinion is so much better than the Rlaarlo ones it’s crazy, was wondering if a...

Yeah man, 1/10 Touring opens up a whole, beautiful realm of possibilities. That ‘71 T/A is the cats a$$!

Yeah, the 1/10 Delta bodies are mostly 200mm, the Rlaarlo is 190mm. The wheelbase is spot on at 260mm though. Also @LibertyMKiii remember we‘re dealing with 1/10 Touring here and you can buy pretty much any wheel you can imagine in a wide range of offsets. I saw some BBS Motorsport wheels that...

Mine won’t be run yet either. I got the roller, so I still have to install the electronics anyway. My first parts order included the upgraded motor mount, so I have to wait on that. For the life of me, I don’t know how anyone has the patience to set the gear mesh with the mount that was...

Well done, man. Very resourceful, and as you say, you can actually order and receive Traxxas parts in a couple days and not a couple months. You should do a search on McMaster Carr for the pins and the pivots. Just measure what you need, you have a pretty good chance of finding them there. My...

Top shelf work, man. Very, very well done. This is one of my favorite builds ever to watch it all come together.

Yo, @Jerold ! If you haven’t figured out your antenna mount yet, these have worked well for me. Allows you to make a bracket or mount them on any flat surface. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NNJFHGZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yes, I guess I should just place an order for some spares and plan on waiting months. My May 10 parts order hasn’t even shipped yet. The car supposedly shipped from California on the 9th, but it still hasn’t been delivered and tracking info has not been updated since the 14th. Very...

To get rid of the bounce you should increase the shock oil viscosity. Usually necessary when increasing spring rates. Also, I would still install limiters in the rear as a failsafe. Nice ongoing build, and the info you’ve provided so far has been outstanding!

Here’s my method… Take the body off and put the chassis on a flat surface, wheels down. Push down the front of the chassis to get it where you want it for full compression with however many mm’s you want so your chassis doesn’t slap and measure the exposed shock shafts. I use metric Allen...

Too bad GRP doesn’t make tires in this size, would be way better than foams. I can’t imagine trying to control a car this small, with that much power, with foams. Rlaarlo makes those carbon speed run wheels, I might have to check those out. And yup, you’re right. If everything else is set to...

Looking forward to you sharing your journey, man! Are you running internal limiters in the shocks for ride height, or just externally? This chassis must feel crazy small after a 1/7 Arrma. Steep learning curve for sure. So you can’t really adjust the rear for toe? Maybe I’ll drill some of my...

In regard to shock placement, the closer (more inboard) on the control arm it’s mounted, the less damping, as the effective spring rate is diminished. The farther outboard the shock is mounted on the lower control arm, the higher the effective spring rate/damping. It isn’t the angle of the...

Great start on a cool build thread! After reading, I’m glad I ordered the sliding motor mount when I ordered the car. What a PITA to adjust mesh! I think you nailed it on the electronics as well, with room to go up to a bigger KV 36xx motor if you want. I“m going to try really hard to not...
