Build Thread RC10B74.2 Champions Edition

[paytonimusrex]

Received this in the mail today, got a really good deal on it! this kit was opened prior to me buying but all that was known to be taken was front arms which were provided and were the upgraded carbon arms too!

I have started to build the kit and the first thing I noticed was the wing was missing lol, so I have that added to my cart for now.

I have continued to build this and started finding some of the most random things missing, missing the rear drive shaft, the rear axles, front and rear hubs, and the rear hub pins so far seem to be missing.

Comparing this to my tekno build so far, I don’t like how the associated kit provides the parts, example have parts for the rear wing that aren’t shown to be used until the end of instructions so i’m sitting there like what are these things, I also have 2 screws and 2 spacers that I have no idea where they go and i’m very confused about that but we will get there lol.

The pictures are in order as I finished each bag, I think I forgot to take one but that is through bag 7 of the kit. looking forward to finishing and seeing what else I have missing so I can order all at once. I’m also open to suggestions on electronics but i’m most likely going to go with 13.5 hobby wing motor and esc, haven’t figured out a servo yet though so any suggestion on that is appreciated!

Sweet!! Too bad on the missing parts though. Little things here and there can really add up. It's crazy how expensive little metal parts like turnbuckles and pivot balls are carpet season is gonna be lit this year!

Nice kit. It sucks when the seller isn't honest about a listing.

yeah surprisingly expensive, i’m trying to build the whole thing to what i’m all missing lol

he was honest in saying he wasn’t sure if anything else was missing and priced it accordingly, I just wasn’t expecting this much to be missing lol

 

[paytonimusrex]

well it seems like with all the stuff i’m missing I didn’t really get much of a deal and could have just bought a brand new kit lol

I would get in touch with the seller and ask if he'd be willing to give you a partial refund after explaining that to him. You never know.

I just did that actually, he said he will send me some money back because he didn’t realize so much was missing. I will probably buy from this guy again he’s very good to work with as a seller

made some progress got the end links built up but can’t connect the rear as i’m missing parts lmao

got the center diff built now need a suggestion, do I put a second fan as well or just run one fan, I can have a top mounted fan or rear mounted or I do I have both mounted lol, what’s y’all’s thoughts

 

[paytonimusrex]

alright I got it done pretty much I think I got all the pieces that i’m missing. just need help with electronics now and it’ll be good

On my .1 I have it on the rear behind the motor and works for me.

When I had my b74.2d I ran the 1up ultralight fan shroud and never had a problem. Tight fit but it works

 

[paytonimusrex]

cool thanks, also strange thing but I have an extra bearing and extra screws I have no idea where they go

[paytonimusrex]

I went back too and i’m like where do these go?? makes no sense why I have extra like I have 2 extra screws for the bottom of the chassis yet every hole is filled lmao

 

[paytonimusrex]

so I may or may not have found out to not over tighten the hex screw as it snaps easily.

 

[paytonimusrex]

getting real close to having this thing completed i’m excited, just need a set of screws to hurry and come they will be here by saturday and then I can finish connecting the rear as right now the camber links are not connected it’s just sitting for show

 

[BarnFabRC]

I really like that gray screw catcher/diff holder. Is it rigid or soft silicone?

 

[paytonimusrex]

it is silicon, has been very useful for me lol here’s the link to it
