RB5 Mid Custom Special
 

Hello you RB5 lovers,

Thought I'd give an update on my little project...

It's coming along nicely, given that I only started working on it after Oz...

I will try start making the first two on saturday, and am hoping they'll be ready for Stottfold, but no promises.

Fab

what are you building?

and any pics ??

With a name like that what do you think it is ?

Pictures please - I'm getting bored of my RB5 and need to change it somehow ;)

Good to here its going well Fabs and your building 2 of these bad boys :woot: You at Broxtowe on Sunday to catch up?

Should be pal.

Yeh one's for you...

Bring your spare car...

Will try and have them done the week end prior to Stottfold then organise some testing with Ralph in the week, so we're not going to a national totally blind...

Pictures will come up soon enough.

What I can tell you is it's muchly like the X6.

Plastic chassis (although milled not moulded)
4 gears gearbox

Only 2 mate ... where's mine? ;)

To start with... Ironing the few hicks there will certainly be.

We wait for Pics, und i hope that at the Weekend where made some of this changed Car!

It'll take more than a saturday morning to machine it.

Awsome skills, thats really impressive! :drool:

Are you gonna make a new tranny case so that you can run standard rotation motors?

that looks like a none std gear case, im sure fabs will be along soon to confirm its a 4 cog??imho

Really nice, every one who can creat a Car mak it at the moment!

Greets Kim

Yes 4 gears as it seems the way to go.

Thanks for the kind comments guys, there is obviously still a lot of work to be done but I'm starting machining tomorrow morning (and this is probably what's gonna take the longest as I've got to make jigs for each part before I can make the part).

Fab, is the rear tower etc planned for the old or new length shocks?

SP shocks : Short bodies with 54mm shafts.

Niggs told me to try and get as much rear droop as possible so the holes on the tower are 2mm lower than on the SP.

Sound makes sense to use the latest shocks, email sent ref droopy draws :)
