And if someone starts to tease, he must be ready to please. So when can we expect our free CF and delrin parts? :D

fathead 21-04-2015 07:14 AM

Now someone is being cheeky!
I might cut out some carbon late this week or early next will see, have to order some more delrin too as I'm basically out, tossing up whether to do black or white delrin bits, or maybe both

That sounds good to me too :thumbsup: And they always look better in white ;)

fathead 21-04-2015 07:49 AM

Well they won't be freeeeeeee but making 1 or 5 isn't much different for me

Retro RC 21-04-2015 09:13 AM

Got my JC racing wheels today all black dish and all black 5 spoke :thumbsup:ordered white and yellow 5 spoke because it said black was out of stock but flicked john an email and he sorted it out.

Just waiting on a couple of bits to turn up now then I start my own thread instead of hijacking yours Damon :woot:

fathead 21-04-2015 09:24 AM

haha all good, I'm sure I will post liberally in your thread......:lol:

I was going to go with white wheels but the more I think about it black will be better, will go with my standard black with a dash of green paint jobs

Peakey 21-04-2015 09:55 AM

Jc wheels are the best I run them on my Procat

Nice, was just reading your build thread.......

Peakey 21-04-2015 11:43 AM

I had to re install photobucket last year and have lost a few pics which is annoying. And gainsy managed to lose lukes Procat thread the other week that was really crammed with great info.

fathead 21-04-2015 09:21 PM

I spied the front towers in the pic of your car and was investigating what they were, looks like something I can do pretty easily.....

Peakey 22-04-2015 08:17 AM

There Team Tanaplan toweres to be honest I'm not sure if there the same length as standed as there for a camber adjustment kit.
I'll try and get some pics and measurements tonight for you. They should be easy to copy as there square

Ah? That means nothing to me lol. And there was about 39 pages in total I think.

OptimaFan 22-04-2015 11:23 AM

Is there no older forum backup somewhere, that the thread can be retrieved from?

It means I have 17 of the 39 pages saved with photos that I can share, heaps of interesting pics and info in just those 17 pages too

Some more drawing (cut simulation of)

I am going to borrow Luke's idea for protecting the undertray/belt

Also list of parts to make when my delrin sheet gets here.

T079 - in various versions to allow R.C. & camber changes (so carbon T154 to suit too)
A215
T077
T111/112 (hopefully I can machine the pocket for the ball well enough will see)
T109/110
T054 - again various versions to allow R.C. & camber changes
T160
T078
T156 - will do stock height and one similar to the tanaplan ones to allow longer shocks on the front

I will keep these parts looking as close to stock as possible, but obviously won't have all the nicely rounded corners as the stock molded parts

Also keeping my eye out for some alloy stock of sufficient dimensions to machine up some T055
