This is the final setup. Rustler pipe and header, the exhaust blows under the chassis to the center.
The car is an animal to drive on the HPI Vintage tires, the Traxxas 2.5 is way to much for it, geared 24/58 and I feel like it is on par or faster than my Slayer Pro.
I have a set of normal low profile touring car tires I'm going to try on it, maybe then I can control it and stay in the throttle long enough to see how fast it is..
Yea I bet it’s a wicked lil machine rockin the 2.5 for sure
Who do you race for ?
Me……. I race for me.
That’s impossible, I was told you need a sponsor to race.
Hey Cru ! Go balls out
Its been a while, but I finally got somewhat of a handle on this thing. Reducing the steering rate really helps tame the driving down along with tweaking the throttle linkage and getting used to it. The 2.5 has power to burn and is currently geared 24/58. The 24t clutch bell is the biggest I have been able to find so far, I just found a 56 tooth spur gear on Evil Bay so we will try that in the spring and see if we can get 50mph out of it.
:D Hi Everyone. Here is a thread on a project i started in December 2017. During the holidays I found a RC10 mid engine buggy conversion. Mind you, im not a buggy guy. It was a nice, clean and simple design with a few custom parts like the chassis....

Hi RJ,
Great post!
Do you need to oil any of the parts?
Especially if you don't plan to run it straight away?
Like Alex said,

Will do. Hopefully the OP is getting something out of this since I’m starting to feel I high jacked the thread.
Hi, I was recently given a Schumacher nitro 10, and want to put a new engine in it, can anyone suggest one that is not too expensive? Would love some advice.

Have you considered a Radial engine. That will get you from A-B:)
