RC10 Worlds Car build - part 3

Here's an update that goes up through a finished chassis. 

The rear bulkhead and shock tower:

Stealth transmission installed:

The finished roller:

I really enjoyed this project. I used a JR metal-gear servo for guidance duties:

Here it is, ready for tires and electronics:

I used a Speed Passion Reventon Stock Club Race ESC and 17.5T brushless motor, which was super easy to install and required NO soldering!!

And all ready for body & paint:

I used Pro-Line Dirt Hawg tires since I'm mostly going to be bashing with this car. The tread is perfect for general running around, and the compound is quite durable. 

In the final update I'll show the body's paint job and wrap up this project. 

RC10 Worlds Car build - Part 2

So I promised a post about the front end of the Worlds Car. 

Here's the front suspension, mostly assembled. I hadn't finished building the shocks yet, so this is how the build stood at the end of day 2. 

I also teased some aftermarket parts.  Instead of just buying bearings for the steering, I picked up JConcepts aluminum steering upgrade kit and their aluminum front nose tubes. Just for a little bling factor. 

Here's the JC steering kit installed. 

Stay tuned for the next update. I'll cover the rear-end completion and the transmission install.
