My Rear Wheel Drive has been getting more and more expensive also. It's hard to resist.
I made my own ackerman bar, but I think this one is a good adjustable design that is almost the only one on the market.
Hubs are nice but way overpriced. I wonder If they will make a Type C version hub only.
My SSG was originally going to become an FR-D so I loaded it with everything.
But then it was too good to separate. (but its still an asphalt car because the chassis is scratched to shit underneath)
Cost about $600 as a roller
So now I started my plastic RWD drift package... which still could become an FR-D if it doesn't work easily
The turning point was functionality.
I found Active rear sus, which I thought was discontinued then Wrap up came out with the lower Y arm.
add $150
so now it's still $300 only as a roller. but it includes used parts from the DRB (which don't count.) haha.
$300 is good.
If it goes FRD... Add $250 and $100 for a rear overdose gear case
$550 is not too bad for a full bling machine.
Ant will be spending... more and more I am sure. hehe.
