Dude,amazing work,man.

Thank you, westek! I really appreciate it!

Awesome transformation! Looking forward to see the final result

I love where this is going now!

I've started doing a similar build with an old RS4 chassis. http://afrorc.com/forums/topic/budget-rs4-sport-rwd/

Thanks man! I'm hoping it will turn out 'drivable'

Awesome, Gaelen! I saw your thread on the AfroRC forum. It will be exciting to follow your build, can't wait!

Great build/conversion! I just picked up a Sprint2 and this gave me all sorts of great ideas and information! look forward to seeing more!

Allright, I thought I'd share some progress shots of the D3 front conversion before I close this phase of the Sprint and move on to the next phase.

First some minor cosmetic changes. I changed most of the stock screws on the chassis from whatever they were before, to hex screws. The screws which doesn't have machine threads is still left stock because I haven't found a hex replacement for these.

I swapped the stock orange aluminum parts, with the older stock purple Sprint parts. This was just to get a better color match with the pink D3 parts.





Swapped the stock main/sub chassis mount with one from GPM, same reason as above. Threads fit unexpectedly well, even when not using GPM screws.



Onto the D3 front conversion:

Stripped everything except the the lower arms.



Started with the steering swipers. Had to space it up a bit at the bottom to clear the lower arm. Used a bearing as spacer below the D3 steering post.







From there it was on to fitting the c-hubs.



They just had to be shimmed out a bit to remove slop.



When mounting the steering knuckles, I noticed that they didn't have much room for camber adjustment.



This was caused by the length of the CVDs, but it was easy to solve by removing the rubber o-rings in the one-way diff.







This is how far I came with the conversion.

Then I got the FXX-D VIP. :=S:

The Sprint was unfortunate to be put on the shelf in the shadow of the excitement I had for the newly arrived RWD toy.

While driving the FXX-D for some months now, not thinking much about the Sprint, I've now gotten some new ideas for it. The re-build has started, and I'm not that far away from finishing it up. When done I will update the list in the first post of the thread, along with documenting this phase of the build. Stay tuned!
