As far as I Know............

But check RC10talk, all the proper RC10 boffin / nut-jobs are located there :thumbsup:

The Dynotech arms are the same config. as the long (!) RPM arms. Normal length RPM arms are still easy enough to find. But the long ones are pretty rare by now.

Narrow: original AE RC10 arms
Normal: AE Team Car / Worlds car + RPM RC10 arms
Long: AE "prototype arms"* + RPM Long arms + Dynotech + Cut Losi VLA
Really long: RC10T arms, but you need to make special bulkheads / rearplates to make that work. (And it drives like shit, so don't bother.... )

* good luck finding these :D

Oh no, I can see yet another project on the horizon.... :woot:

Would I be right in thinking that's an RPM RC10 chassis etc and that they are pretty rare? :confused: If so it;s a good job you don't know where my mum lives..... shit, another project/restoration! :woot:

no no no, they're really common, no one wants them as they are rubbish.
I'll do you a favour and take it off your hands ;)

no not rare at all, RPM still make them.... I'll give you 40 quid though if want to get rid to make space.. ;)

If I remember right.... RPM made the conversion kits after the world championships where AE had the full custom RC10 Stealth cars so that we mere mortals could drive a car very similar .....

and they worked very well, particularly on dirt with a Hydradrive ...

Mines in the loft .... anyone want a look ? :woot:

see, I told you they were common and undesirable, well must be if they are all stored in lofts!
Bring it along Si:thumbsup:

Would love to see it Si :thumbsup:

Was bidding on a full Rpm Truck on the bay a month or so ago and got outbid! It sucks when auctions finish at 3am our time.:(

Looks like we've started something here, theres a few people getting hooked already!

:thumbsup: This car should be completed soon :thumbsup:

With the rear arms, as the dynotech arms are the same length as the rpm worlds, by using them on the standard chassis your giving a lot more rear end width as well. Apparently on the RPM ultra chassis the rear end was narrower making the width the same when you used the longer arms, also in the conversion kit there was a template to cut down the width on the back of the tub. If that makes sense:confused:

With the car having these arms front and rear they say it is the same footprint as a B4 or near enough.

True, but now you can just mount them on the normal position and just use you normal "flatdish" B4/X6 wheels instead of the older "deepdish" RC10 wheels. It's just a real plus if you have a B4 / X6 / Cougar / ...... , you can just use tires/wheels you have left from your normal race car.

All you need is longer drive shafts ( B4 / B4.1 )

This is all starting to make sense now, I think I get it :)

Thanks Janus and Caine I knew guys would have the answers

I will be putting in an order with Dynotech soon, have already spoken to them and the have stock.

WAX: is that your car? And was that your first post on oople? Nice one :-)

Last question then, I still don't get why you would run 1.02 shocks on the front. As you would likely need a custom front tower anyway cos rpm worlds tower is so rare, why not get one made to fit say B4 length shocks?

Ps. I used to have an RPM car, no idea where that went Doh!

Yes, Thats one of two im building for next years VONATS here in the states, I have had an account on oople for a wile but never used it lol :D

It's almost a crime to race something that beautiful but fair play to you for not hiding it in a cupboard.

We need to get some action shots of these cars just to prove they are not shelf queens Lmfao :)

Is there a VONATS website or anything? Would love to see them on track but it might be a bit of a long trip to pop over to watch lol

Dont think you had all the different shock sizes back then, so if the short ones had to little length to work with the longer arms you HAD to use the long stuff.

But now just use B4 / Losi front shocks and have Jonathan make a shocktower to work with that. ;)

Fibrelyte still do the RPM tower if you wanted, but I'm sure you'd be able to arrange a tower for different shocks easily enough!

good answer ;) Thanks again.

Exactly what I was plannin to do :thumbsup:

The car posted on this thread might be a shelf car, its built from all new parts, The second car im building has a little use, The chassis should be back today or tomorrow from having some machining done and some custom wing tubes, nose tubes and battery tubes.
