Raco Gand National (early?)
Posted: March 6th, 2016, 10:23 am
Posted a pic in the introduction section. Bought out a small online store that sold vintage parts. As i went through people wanted to buy. but well i changed my mind and decided i want to keep the 1/4 Raco's that came in the lot. More i dug into part. more of a car i had.
This is for the grand national build. Will be slow as i have like 30-40 rc projects going since i usually do 10th scale stuff. old and new.
all the chassis parts i had in a box.
DIgging into a box finding shocks, (and some small threaded ones) plates and hub. found the lower plate for the pipe mount and some other knick nacks.
Digging in the box of tires. I know i had 2 zenoah's
but found i had 3 sets of rear trailing arms, 1 set aluminum
test fitting what parts i had. was wondering if anyone knew if there is a spacer under the motor on this car. since the arms and mount can not occupy the same location as the enging?
right now trying to locate parts. i have 4 bodies also. Parts i still need ot locate is dog bones, 1 servo mount, the steering setup, since i have none of it, and i think i need linkage for the brakes. other question is, do i use the solid locked diff, or use a action diff, i have a few gear boxes, and some gears. I am also thinking i need th eplate on the gear box that the rear tq rods and rear bumper system mounts to. dont want to start clean up and rebuild till i can find parts i need. Also seams i need a tank and mount like the jack rabbit. (i have that car also but different thread.
Thanks for any help. Willing to buy parts needed. I know i am new, been trying to findas much info as possible. I was all set to sell the 1/4 scales. But i want to keep and bring back alive.
Thank uoi!
