[solved] Track widener for Wild Dagger WT01/WR01 Chassis?

Recommended Posts

I'm searching very long suspension arms for the TL01 or Wild Dagger Chassis.

I know I could use rear arms from WIld Dagger as front arms. But which one for rear?

I also know I could use Super Blackfoot Axles for wheel wideners but I need longer arms for rear. Have anyone seen such long arms?

No idea but very interested in the answer. You will also need drive shafts to fit

At first glance, I've seen some part lists, but nothing for the suspension arms and driveshafts. I won't hurt sending him an e-mail to willy@customrcmodels.com or info@customrcmodels.com , and please let us know if he replies.

I've got some Blazing Star  suspension arms, but they have the same lenght like the WT01.

I havn't found a tamiya car with longer arms. The are all ~95mm long.

No luck on it.

 

Anyone an idea or knows longer arrms than 95mm?

Rear Arm:

Inner 26 mm

Outer 16 mm

Lenght 83 mm

 

Front Arm

 

Inner 25 mm

Outer 16 mm

Lenght 81 mm

 

Keep in mind that the width of the Dark Impact is identical to the Manta Ray/Top Force but the Dark Impact has longer arms so if you mix the Dark Impact arms with Top Force Hubs you will increase the width of your model.

@kontemax: Thanks but thats 5mm longer than stock  WT01 arms. Not enough. Stock wt01 is 78mm

 

I have ordered rear Stampede arms, they are 100mm long and should have same size like tamiya.

I can take a photo of it, when I get the parts.

yesss-crazy-rabbit-emoticon.gif?12927937 I've got it!

The stampede arms fits very good. The traxxas plastic is awesome! Light and very strong. The rear arms are 20mm longer than WT01 and have nearly same dimensions. The front is 83mm long.

Well, what about the rest of the arms?

I'm speaking about the hubs and the half shafts.

Can you post some more images of the complete model?

You need new dogbones, upper arms (turnbakles), steering arms.

I will buy all these parts and will show it in my Bigfoot build-thread.

But it needs some weeks of time, I always order it in chinese shops.

....I think I will not use the stampede arms. Because I must change so much extra parts on my truck. It's to expensive and not in my design.

But I think, if some one have a stock chassis, he could use the parts to get a very wide and stable track.

 

To help you, I measured it out and made a part list:

Traxxas #3655X rear arms, 100mm

RPM #80532 front arms, 91mm (the front MUST be ~10mm shorter than rear!)

Steering arms 91-95mm, e. g. Team Associated #25569

Track rod rear, eye to eye 79mm or 59mm without rod ends; universal turnbuckle

Track rod front, eye to eye 75mm or 55mm without rod ends; universal turnbuckle

Dogbones 94mm; universal dogbones

 

You'll get all parts on ebay.com or towerhobbies.com B)

Digging up an old thread but I was interested in this too. Not just for WT01 but for 01B and other brands entirely.

I've been trying to work out what those arms and I'm sure the rears are Duratrax but I can't quite pin down which ones. They have that distinctive curve at the wheel end but the only ones I can find like that are the Evader BX but they don't look long enough.

I'm sure they are some kind of Duratrax arms though, they even have arms with graphite written on them like the ones on the customrcmodels site.
