Hi steve
There the same as the rear ones
To be honest the silver one is from the back ( the standard one)
The black one is the upgraded one
a while ago I got a job lot of parts
So if you need them they are there

Have you got rear axles on front ?<div>

RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo
 
On the ball now, just had a look and the standard front axles have got a posi drive srew on the inside.

On both our cars we have fitted the rear ones on the front, no probs, been like that for years.

Measured one of the posidrive axles and they are 4mm and have a shoulder.<br type="_moz" />

Ian , do you have probs with inside the front wheels hitting the wishbone on full lock ? , missed out on this body shell yesterday metro 1/10 rc car body shell  :-(

RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo
 
On certain wheels yes, some wheels are a bit wider.
6R4 rally / rally cross shell, looks right good.

Ian78 01-17-2013 12:49 PM

RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo
 
It's not just the wheels being a bit wider it's also the offset, some stick out more, if they are more offset they will be closer to your suspension parts.

Well, I knew nothing before joining here, I had a good teacher, haha.
What's it called, the student becomes the teacher.

RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo
 
Ahhh so that could be it then the wheels I bought are offset +3 :eek: ,

Ian78 01-17-2013 01:14 PM

RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo
 
Less offset will stick out more... so 5mm will be closer than -3mm offset.

Now you have become the teacher the master can now kick back and relax :D:D:D

Steve, are you still thinking of getting those bits from Bycmo?
Have bought cogs and bits before no probs.<br type="_moz" />

RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo

Ian78 01-17-2013 03:05 PM

RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo

RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo
 
Hi both , I've checked the bycmo site and they still have parts available for it but the site doesn't show pics for all the bits ...

Ian78 01-18-2013 09:41 AM

RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo
 
Pretty sure they used to.
I would try emailing them with your requirements.
Contacted a nice helpful girl Maria I think, very helpful.

Hey guys, been trolling this thread, tho I've skipped a lot of pages.  I feel really bad for y'all. What a miserable experience. Certainly, I may have missed them, but I never came across any pictures of your Subarus.  Did any get posted?  I love WRC, and I own a real WRX.  I also put a Tamiya WRX body on my DTX Evader. So naturally this thread caught my eye.  I kept hoping I'd see a picture of one of yours.

Not to put anyone down, but, I think this is a silly way to go about building an RC. (The bloke who said it was "a brilliant marketing scheme" must've meant brilliant for the company rakin' in all the money.)  I mean really, if I wanted to build a kit, I'd buy a kit, an have it built in a week. A week. As in ONE.  Not 55!!  That's over a YEAR!  No way in hell I could wait that long.  don't mean to rub salt, tho...... Good luck.

I wouldn't do it again, too impatient, only reason for doing it is my then wife said I needed to learn to have patience.
It was fun building it up though and did teach me a bit of patience.
There are pics with Subaru shells, will try to find some.

If you add up how much we spent on these from the start and including modifying it would be quite a lot.<br type="_moz" />

Hi all,
Most Bycmo parts can now be obtained AGAIN [at long last] from www.sbc.gb.com but you won't find anyone there called Maria. Company is UK based.

A new section is being added [within the next two weeks] to their web site to allow you to 'purchase on line'.

Mr.S

Mr.Sticky 02-17-2013 02:57 AM

RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo
 
Hi all again, RE: www.sbc.gb.com Most items in stock now. The rest are due in any time.

Mr.S

Ian78 02-18-2013 01:16 PM

RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo
 
Thanks for the links there MR S.
