My HB2010 narrowing mod

Here’s fun. And it worked quite well.

Following on from Stevo309’s excellent mod to narrow the HB2010, I wanted to follow suit. However, not having such an extensive pile of models and spares, I wanted to try and keep buying new parts to a minimum.

This then uses the kit parts as much as possible, altering them with simple tools. Stevo’s use of the splined output shafts allows the rear track to come in; in this case requiring a 50mm dogbone. I don’t know if Tamiya do them, but I found an HPI pair. Apart from those new bits, the rear is all from the kit.

At the front, whilst still keeping most of the lower arm and even the kit shock, custom tie rods are needed as well as a couple of home-made bits for the shock tower.

There are a couple of PDFs (including parts list) that I hope are useful to anyone who fancies having a go.

The photos are not very good, but show the bolts etc. The PDF is clearer.
