Popular Post stupar Posted June 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2022 So this is what happens when you take a Team Associated DR10 Team Kit drag chassis and mate it with an Element RC Gatekeeper cage........you get the 'StreetKeeper' Much chopping and modding was done to fit the cage. Fuel tank was relocated to the front make way for space to install some future detailing parts in the rear. Even managed to make the DR10 chassis nerf guard mounts into fixings for the cage. The plan is to keep it as an exoskeleton build and do some internal detailing. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough I've been working on the spur gear cover. I've trimmed the end off the spur cover to allow it to fit inside the cage. It's open ended so not fully protected but ag least the actual spur and pinion gears are covered which will help a little. Just need to tidy up the cut then give it a coat of Matt black paint.

If you use steel spurgear you dont need cover at all. Have both drag street wheels and paddles will be ultimate, driving both styles with one car is awsome, just a wheel change Cheers for the info, might just get a steel spur for extra robustness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post stupar Posted June 15, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2022 StreetKeeper got a heart transplant today in the form of a Ford SOHC V8 427 cubic inch. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post stupar Posted June 17, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2022 Last night I removed the wheelie bar and found myself in a situation of making a hinge for the cage using the redundant wheelie bar mount and two rod ends attached to the cage. Now I have a secure fixing of the cage to the chassis that also allows easy access to the internals. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post stupar Posted June 27, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2022 The StreetKeeper got some new shoes today courtesy of Louise RC.

stupar Posted July 2, 2022 Author Share Posted July 2, 2022 Made a start today on the interior of the StreetKeeper. Some 2mm black styrene is what I chose for a combination of rigidity and light weight. I've cut and glued the floor pan and front/rear panels which gives me a basic cabin shape to play with. Battery will be located in a tray behind the interior and the existing chassis space used for cable management between the ESC and serves etc. Will make a start on the dashboard tomorrow as that will need to be templated before cutting. Got new shocks arriving later so that will be tonights task. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post stupar Posted July 9, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2022 Cracking day, kids amusing themselves in the paddling pool gave me ample time to hook up my servo controlled steering wheel and dummy fit a pair of Corbeau seats. Just need to fashion up some brackets to mount the seats to the floor pan then I can screw the gear stick to the floor too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
