KEV THE REV 2319 Posted February 10, 2019 I spoke about this in another thread . I've transplanted a vintage Kyosho Ultima 1 front beam into a Lunchie chassis and widened the rear track by 8mm per side, and I have to say that I think it is better than the FX conversion . The front was pretty straight foreward , 2 bolts into the LB's D part at the front , bolted through the LB's A parts arm retainer and fabbed up 2 tie rod / braces to the rear of the beam (these aren't really needed as the first 3 bolts hold this rock steady !! . I bushed out the Kyosho 4mm knuckles to take a 3mm bolt to use the LB's steering parts . I fitted 2 Wild One front lower damper brackets to hold the dampers . I'm waiting on oil dampers so these in the pic are just old stuff I had knocking around , and it will wear chrome WW2 wheels and tyres .The front track ended up really wide , which is good and I will try it out like that , but for now I've fitted M/Bull wheels to reduce the front track and match the rear . The rear track has been widened by 8mm per side by a simple re-drilling of the axle shaft for the drive pin and fitting the Tamiya alu hex drives adapters and fitting - for now - Mad Bull wheels front and rear , the rear axle gap is filled with an 8mm spacer , wheels held on by 15mm barrell nuts . AMpro trans brace fitted , rear deck braces fitted and front brace bar fitted . 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nowinaminute 2815 Posted February 10, 2019 Nice to see the fruits of your labour! This must be the year of the Lunchbox front end conversion! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KEV THE REV 2319 Posted February 11, 2019 The servo is in the original position , it hasn't been changed from stock , but the whole front arm assembly is not stock , it is now a 'double wishbone 'suspension , like the FX10 and AMpro conversions 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
