6 gear, as the Stealth CE was not AE's top of the line racer at that time, they would be the Team Car and later the Worlds.

I'm sure RCSparks will do it! I am fortunate to know him. He is also sponsored by PM Hobbycraft (the store I work at). Plus his Youtube and Google hits will pay off! His RC videos have made him quite popular! :lol:


Paul, I have been itching to get the ball rolling on this project. Like I said, almost four years in the making. :oops: Funds and time being the hold up. Thanks to VintageAE, he helped so much with the builds and painting!

Thanks Brian and thanks for your help as well!

I just noticed something! Not really fair that the CE and the Graphite have newer high downforce wings! I will have to rectify this, but with the new RC10 classic, finding wings should not be hard! :lol: I know the CE has black dyed plastic but it should not change it's performance. I put CE 3 piece wheels on the short armed RC10 as these would fit the Losi tires and had similar weight to the original wheels.

I wonder how a RC10 would stack up against the Classic RC10?

Any thoughts on track design? I know that track's have evolved over time, and this is one of the reasons that tires and suspensions have changed. Very cool project - Really looking forward to see how it plays out.

It will be at the local Calgary Track, RC Gears.

You can see a video of it here:[youtube]-4KM0-BPsvE[/youtube]

I would love an old school track but it's not going to happen!

I hope so too! The new track is actually sweet and 1/10th friendly, but those darn 1/8 cars blow it out so quickly! So we have to get on it quickly in the spring!

Count me in Rod, If you need any manual labor help sorting things out. I can bring an RC10 buggy and a few stadium trucks for the photo shoot or video.

I have been tempted to go up to the track and try a few laps on open days. I am sure it would be a great time.

Hope the trip to Cali was fun. Did you get to see the 2WD finals?

Thanks Dave we may need your help! We have the cars covered though! Cali was good and watching those pro drivers was fantastic!

Looking forward to reading about it. Will we get a technical analysis as well to show us why one car would perform better?
