Ah.. first thing that came to my mind is RC10L/RC12L... I'm in the process of cleaning up my old 10L's. It has to be the TC3? You know you're getting old when you don't even think it's that old. To this day It's still a great platform.

No, that's a DS. Dual Sport based on the rc10 platform.

Oh..! That makes more sense, wouldn't really see the reason for a TC3. I don't even know anything about the RC10DS.

You know I was half joking when I said they'll need to make a DS to get more of my money, then they went ahead and did it. Well played AE....you win this round.
Consistency is the key I keep misplacing.

I would trade in a CC and a 10T for a DS!! :)
I build RCs like people would have done back in the '90s ..................................... if they had 3D printers.

Same situation here! I was so focused on off road that I completely ignored the DS line when then were around. Wish I had atleast picked up one since like most other rc10 guys, we already had a majority of parts to maintain one. Only problem is there was never really a class to run them. I know the DC10 just came out but even years before I thought about trying to do a DS drift car project build.......
Old school racing all the way!

If I were a betting man, I would have lost money on this one too. Never thought the DS would make it to their lineup

Going to need at least one of these, hoping they're $320 or less - probably dreaming.

Does anyone know what the wheelbase and max ground clearance is on a DS?

https://www.manualslib.com/manual/2176101/Associated-Electrics-Team-Associated-Rc10-Ds-Dual-Sport.html

What body fits on the DS?
Pg. 33 SCCA Trans AM style body.

Ride height?
Pg. 49 Manual says 0.40" or 10.5mm chassis ride height, with body 3/8" or 9.5mm. Minimum ride height is 5mm according to VTA rules.

Wheelbase?
Pg. 48 Adjustable, but doesn't say what the range is. 259mm to 264mm is the best I can come up with based on VTA 1/10 RC rules found elswhere.
