haha we sound like we would get along great no matter how pretty my car is including my rc10gt2 build by a former associated pro aka my manager before we closed 10 tanks then sold with 800$ worth of equipment for 250 ready to go minus radio and spares then decked out in c/f then for the 5 tanks i owned it is got its fair share of beatings then sold for 250 profit ;)

I appreciate the comments, I've put a lot of time into this build. It will be getting changed up after the VONATS.

The really wierd thing is we have 3 old rc10's that race at the local track. My car, another that is almost exactly like mine, and Brandon's 91 RPM Worlds car. And they all handle completly different.

It was hilarious 2 minutes before the main started on Friday we were all trading radios and taking hot laps. I get to race with a great group of guys every week, we all cut up and joke around but after the horn goes off it's all business for 5 minutes then we're back to joking around.

I completly disassembled and cleaned the whole car. I freshened this one up with a used Worlds tub I had from my DS.

Thanks to everyone here that has been helping me get it tuned up!

Nice ride. What rear alum. hubs are those? Are you running them with the b4 axel and the spacer on the inside?

They're Losi XXX hubs that Charlie don't surf machined down to fit rc10 arms, I'm using B4 cvd axles with rc10 bones. Right now I have to put all the spacers and the blue washer on the inside. It works out ok but I'm going to get some B4 bones so I can move the washer to the out side. There's a lot more plunge at the outdrive because the pivot point has been changed.

I'll get to see what it will do on the track Saturday.

And I put T4 front axles up front. The GT wide axles I had on there were just too long.

I'll see you guys there. Dave will be running his RC10 as well. Ought to be a good group. If we could only get Henslo up and running now.

David W. (me too David) drove the 91 last night and liked it very much. We may get another yet.

Man this car is great - I love all the subtle but effective modifications, that means it can kick some modern buggy ass on the track. Inspiration for my runner project 8)

Good action shots too - I wish we had some purpose built indoor dirt tracks like that in the UK.... jeez we have enough wet weather to make it worthwhile :roll:
