Hi: i have not built my kit yet, but I know the kit is mostly a “worlds” edition, with a graphite chassis. I suggest you download a copy of the worlds kit….the long bolts for your steering, look to be the front shock mount screws which attach to the shock tower….
I just got my kit. I'm so excited fellas! I was a bit disappointed that there were no instructions, no lubes or fluids. I will be checking for other missing essentials but am still very excited. Looking forward to your build videos.
Thanks for the vid, I’m very curious about this kit. Ive been around rc10s since almost the beginning so I’m confident i could build 75% of it without the stinkin instructions lol 😅
then you sir are awesome, maybe I could build a Tamiya SRB kit with no manual as I grew up building these, but an Rc10, could never afford one. Word on the street is if you are an RC10 "nerd" then you will be fine building the FanRc. Now I had a go building these it all makes sense now - hindsight is a great thing
For the turn buckles it sounds like you're not exactly satisfied with the measurement in the instructions being from the center of the ball cup to the other center. The old ball cups had a marking at center so you could easily measure but if the reproduction ones don't hand that center making then always remember a center to center dimension is the same as leading edge to leading edge or trailing edge to trailing edge.
Yeah, I did measure in the end from shoulder to shoulder, plus remember these where Graphite instructions and not worlds car instructions so the lengths would have been different anyway I would think?
Well you have pdf instructions where as I am using you as my instructions 😂 well I will do when I get mine , anyway thanks for the heads up on the imperial tools 👍
Regarding those steering screws im going to look back at my old rc10 and see what is up there. Without being able to recall what screws were used in thinking maybe the fan rc kit has the wrong size hooks drilled? Not confirmed. Just a thought.
The instructions (graphite) was showing a much thinner screw, the Worlds instructions and parts supplied in the kit were correct - I just changed them over
Ah excellent. So those screws that weren't chamfered were not the correct screws? I assume them there were some other screws that were chamfered screws in the kit that worked? And judging by your comments that may or may not be in the right bag of parts?
@@GCC13 correct, the screws on the original Graphite were non countersunk - the FanRc has specific countersunk hardware, and yes the bags were a bit mixed up regarding the hardware, the bag ID works but you'll be looking for hardware in other bags
Still waiting for mine from L&L models, on the webpage my order status is fulfilled, ordered back when the next shippment was july 7th, but am not getting any kit, my money gone it seems. :( am going to have to look for a better and more reliable store than L&L Models.
Have you messaged Lee on Facebook? Mine said fulfilled on the webpage but didn't receive it until over a week later - the kits hadn't arrived as expected. Give it time mate and contact Lee, he is very good
@@racing393 I sent him an email 4 days ago as we were 2 people that wondered about status on his company FB, were he instead of explaing to us just deleted our comments, the answer i got back on the email was what i would say rather inmature. this is exactly what he wrote i have not let any words out, not even a signature. ************************ " Its on pre order!! Its not been shipped yet thats why Please read the add before buying " ************************ When i ordered mine back on june 4th, the add said next shippment july 7th, and the status on the order was pre-order, then on july 6-7 my order changed status to fulfilled july 4th, so yeah i was of cause wondering about a tracking id. and now on the page my order is still fulfilled, and the add says next shipment sometime in august. So i answered him back why did the order change status to fulfilled if it is clearly not fulfilled, and that he has not answered til date, guess he believes silence is king. This was my first order with L&L models, and was looking to spend more money as i raced a TeamCar back in 1993. and a Yokomo that i am looking to restore, but i am beginning to feel rather scammed to be honest, so until i get my car and thereby proof that he has not started just taking some £400 (incl postage to Sweden) i do not dare to order more parts from him. So i am trying to find another dealer that wants my money ;)

yes, all sorted now. Car built. Next steps will be electric etc. Then a few local club visits in 25
I’ve gotten a few Fan parts . Good stuff ! I hope to add a graphite car to the collection soon .

@@GCC13 part 2 out Saturday 9pm Uk time
Found out a lot more since this video
I make the mistakes so you don’t have to 🤪

If I'm comparing apples to apples and I might have it mixed up but it looks like graphite instructions say 2.34" and worlds says 2.51.. .
@@GCC13 best way is eye-ball them straight, different cars would be slightly different measurements I guess
Now that's a tool I already have in the box. 👍

Part 2 is done, it'll upload in a couple of days - hope you enjoy the build.....

Ok duly noted. I'll keep a mental inventory before and as I build.
