I don't like the idea of running wider front axles to push the 2.2 wheels outwards. I know this is similar to running the original sized offset wheels with narrow axles but the older cars had a greater scrub radius than modern cars. I want to keep the more favorable scrub radius. My solution was to 3D model a stock arm and then widen it so that the front end width is where it should be with modern wheels and stock offset axles. The benefit is that the front arms are now close in length to the rear arms. I had them 3D printed. They work great. This is the first version. I'm still going to change them a little bit. I'm also making new rear arms that look stock. They too are slightly wider but when used with B4 cvd's and hubs will give proper width in back with modern offset wheels as well. At that point all 4 arms will be the same length.

Great idea, I would buy some if you want to sell them.

I'm printing them through Shapeways so when I get the models finalized and tested, I'll make them public so anyone can get them.

Default Associated RC10 WORLDS 1993 Craig Drescher.

Hi all,

Just thought I would post for those who are interested. I have been working on a RE-RE RC10 WORLDS.

I have worked on the chassis sides and nose. I have also fitted Jconcepts hop-ups. I am just finishing it off and will post pictures in next few days.

I have painted the RC10 WORLDS in the colours of Craig Dreschers 1993 WORLDS car. This is the same as I ran it in 1991/93 but mine was the RC10 TEAM car.

Here are the pictures of the RC10 WORLDS RE-RE. Painted in 1993 worlds Drescher colours. This is how I ran my Team version back in the day. Not 100% finished just need to take the nose down like Dreschers but will do this later on. Running it for the first time on grass at Telfords Western Park Show Saturday... Cant wait to go back nearly 25 yrs and run a RC10 again.

Loved the build went together perfect. A few Jconcepts hop ups along the way and white RPM Gear cover with White shock adjusters and cups. Decals are as close to Dreschers but also as I ran them back in the day.

Click to enlarge pictures.

That car is typical of your attention to detail in terms of the car just being a superb example and built to a very high standard like all the cars you build. I hope you enjoy running it mate . P.s., I still like the one you did for me. Lol

Default RC10 WORLDS

Just wanted to say how good this car is and after almost 25 yrs of running one it put one big smile on face.......

Ran it on grass at Hinckley club yesterday for the first time as didn't make it to telford.

The Worlds wasn't 100% set up right but will be for next week. Even with the set up on it, it was on pace with the modern mids BMAXs, hybrids, YZ2s, B5Ms and Xray 4-2WD.

I made the A final and Q6 and beat the above buggies to make the A final also. Stunning really for a car of 1991 team to 1993 worlds.

I havent had a smile on my face like this for a while absolutely awesome. Well done for the release of this buggy and so glad I went for one.

Ive been working with the file again on the RC10 Worlds. I have filed and polished the,

Sides.
The Rear Sides.
The Rear Bumper, cut filed and shaped.
The front nose is now filed, shaped and polished.

I have also fitted a Associated under chassis protector, Traxxas shocks, RPM front and Rear wishbones and a RPM Worlds front carbon tower to take Front intermediate or long shocks.

Once finished I will post pictures of updates.

Hi mate, I love your worlds, it looks amazing. How do you find the 7.5 motor in the car? I assume the gearbox can take it?

Cheers

Hi Hyper, Thank you.

The 7.5 is fine. I only run it in Blinky mode but the Worlds can more than handle it. Back in the day I ran 10 triple and 11 double with no problems. I run on a grass track too so I would of thought on Astro with less drag would be fine as well. I have fitted weight also to the front and under servo. There is no lift at all on the straight from mid to top speed and nice balance with corner speed. Just playing with set up at the min and changed the Worlds slightly. Once finished I will post pictures.
