Was the 10L3 235mm? I assume the 10L3O was 200mm (super speedway). I have a 10L3T (touring) which is also 200mm. That would make three versions of the L3 as shown in the pictures and the first production narrow car?

The 10L3 on road was supposed to be a wide car but if I remember right the 10L2 was ~220mm so I'd guess that the 10L3 would've been too.

The RC10L2 was Associated´s last wide car, but yes around 220 mm, not really 235mm. Regarding the RC10L3, beside the RC10L3O for Super Speedway, there was just one version from my knowledge. RC10L3 and RC10L3T are the same car, and it is just 190mm wide as other narrow AE cars. The only exception had been the RC10LC what was wider than the Super Speedway cars cars but less wide than the RC10LS and RC10L2.
The wide of 200mm was introduced with the WGT cars.

The 10L3 "On-Road" in the articles above was an unreleased wide car that upgraded the 10L2 with side shocks. The narrower 10L3 Tourer came in two versions...the Sport with a black fiberglass chassis (same material as the B2/T2 fiberglass towers) and the Team with a carbon fiber chassis.

That looks pretty good, is pro 10 an open class?

[Niki]

Sadly it's not official race class in Finland at all. Just bunch of friends having fun with these fantastic cars.
Fellows in mid Europe have official Pro10 race series outdoors with at least stock and mod classes.

Niki, is that the chassis I cut for you? Sure looks like the CF I used for the parts. It is good to see your car since you have always had an eye for nice looking cars.

Thanks.
Yes, main chassis and lower pod plate came out of your mill. Glossy servo mount plate and upper pod plate are older parts made by Fibre-Lyte.
Next task is to upgrade my vacuum forming system to fit Lexan. PETG is easy to work with but bodies doesn't take hits very well.

Anyone recognize this car from the '96 Worlds? I snagged it off eBay earlier this week just thinking it was a very cool Woods Pro10 car, but when I checked the Paypal receipt email I found out that the seller was Dave Irrgang and this was the actual car he ran at the '96 Worlds.

According to Mr. Irrgang the center shock was changed when he thought about running it again but he then changed his mind, so it's only been run at the Worlds. Even better the car came with a new chassis, upper and lower pod plates so I can just about build a second one.

OK, it´s a bit OT.
Just found again a pic from the 1996 worlds pits. Someone knows who´s the guy with white hairs in the background? I´m pretty sure I know his name but can´t remember currently.

David Suzuki?

Niki, did you ever run this car? There were no more posts of it. Kind of curious how it worked out for you. Thanks.
