Re: Lancia Stratos, project.

I could quite possibly use the those as bird cages and front spindles for my latemodel and have the option to out the brake kit on if I choose to. I'd really hate to see the price if they're custom. :cry: But , if they are custom. Could you slightly modify them for my needs? The way they're made wou...

Re: Lancia Stratos, project.

Did you have to make the spindles to use the brakes? Or does anyone sell those?

Re: Custom dirt latemodel

Those appear to be weld on style that doesn't require the use of a pull bar. Which again I planned to use a "lift arm" setup, with a J bar for center spacing. The ones I posted are floated or can be clamped. But, the way the ones I posted are made are more chassis specific , it allows ever...

Re: Custom dirt latemodel

I could definitely live without the inflatable tires, just curious. That's how I done them on my rock crawlers, headlock a with small rubber ball plugs inserted into the wheels. They work very well for rock crawling, just as it does in 1:1. I just wasn't sure where they offered tires like that. Also...

Re: Custom dirt latemodel

I know they're more expensive to get into it, but up keep on them is essentially a lot lower. My main problem is I no longer buy any off the market kits or ready to run rc's. I've ended up building all my own rock crawlers. Using differentials, transmission, and suspension from existing cars. I esse...

We raced dirt cars for many years and still have a few chassis sitting around.

Re: Custom dirt latemodel

Yes tremendously, I apologize for not responding sooner caught a stomach bug and was rather occupied all night. I am glad I'm not going about this necessarily the wrong way, seems I just need to make the effort to get started now. First off the rear end setup sounds great, some pictures would be ver...

Re: Custom dirt latemodel

Anyone have suggestions or maybe links to parts to get started? Or advice, either go for it or make sure I really want it because it's more trouble than it's worth? Lol Ps, I realize this site gets little traffic, is there a better forum for advice or help for a custom build? Or someone I could get ...

Custom dirt latemodel

Ok, I'm a little discouraged with the smaller scales and RC in general. Hoping large scale will be what I'm looking for. My 1/10 scale requires a lot of custom pieces made on machines I don't have nor have access to. Everyone wants too much to make these few one off parts. So, I've abandoned this pr...
