Build Thread RC10B74.2 Champions Edition

[paytonimusrex]

the electronics are finally all done on the car it looks super messy though lmao but I had to adjust it a bunch because body wouldn’t fit or the servo hit the motor wire, I think I have it all positioned well enough now I might need to tape some wires down but that’s a race day issue

body is in process of paint and I hate it lol

Make sure that one wire doesn't touch the spur gear. That will be a whole mess if it gets chewed up. I learned that the hard way. Esc wire to the Rx got wrapped around the center diff out drive and ripped up.

i’ll probably put a piece of electrical tape to hold wires down but not worried about it right now

Oh yea something that I will add. I got this cheap 3d printed spur gear cover and I put it on mine. Helps a lot. I'm sure I have a pic of it somewhere in my build thread.

i’ll have to check it, might need you to make me one having wires this close to the gears and no cover got me nervous lmao

I think I need liquid mask from now on but this is the way it turned out, I feel like I have something wrong with how my wires are ran for the motor cause it doesn’t fit right on the left side lmao oh well nothing velcro can’t fix

Added a universal protek protector in my Amain cart. Since the 1UP racing one I was going to get, its on backorder now.

looks good, I was say run the rear of the motor fan , I know on my .1D i have a hard time once motor wires are on to get the car shell to fit properly without hitting so i don't know how a fan over the motor would fit in there as well

Avid r/c sells wire holders in fancy carbon fiber if you like them.
2 wire and also a 3 wire w/sensor wire clip also.

That's an awesome buggy you have, Here my current one a B74.1 i had for 3 years now. It used to be my dad's buggy and the first one bought new after a Schumacher Cougar laydown he bought off ebay to get into 1\10 carpet racing. Later than year in August 2021 he sold me his B74.1 to keep me into racing after i sold my 22T 4.0 which i tried to modify into a carpet truck but it didn't work the way i wanted it to. But after 3 years i still have this buggy just haven't had the chance to race mine a lot this year and i keep debating if i want to upgrade to a newer buggy like a 22X-4 Elite or that new B74.2 Champions Edition. But currently i'm in the middle of a lot of projects and have plans to big things next year like buying my first high end radio, rebuilding a couple of my older cars and getting a couple new ones too. So i'm not sure when i'll be able to pick up a new 4WD race buggy or maybe try to convert my existing one to a newer model. But you sure have a nice buggy can't wait to hear updates when you take it to the track.

The ESC and Motor combo i believe is a Hobbywing Justock G1 with a Reedy S+ 13.5T Motor and a Savox SB-2263-CE low profile brushless servo for the TX\RX combo at the moment is a Futaba T4PM radio with a R304SB receiver and finally i run both a SMC 7.4V 2s 4,100Mah lipo and a Protek 4,600Mah 7.6V 2s LIHV Lipo for batteries. I'm currently not sure what the future holds for this old race buggy if i am going update with newer electronics like a new TX\RX combo or new ESC and Motor combo i'm not sure. Or if i will go all out and build a completely new buggy with all new tech and just leave this one as a spare racer to take to the track.
