Beautiful build, Peter! I'm surprised Pro10 isn't more popular than it is.

Wow! Not a pancar guy myself, but I can totally see the allure. So many goodies on this. Must be a screamer!
Hope you're doin' something fun.

Thanks NIck--

where we are-- I can understand-- they really require a big smooth track to get the most out of them.

Thanks man --

I wasn't either, 'till I dipped my toe into carpet 12th scale. When a pancar is dialed, there is nothing else like it - they are easy to drive and love to go fast.

Yeah-- had an 8T in it and it was all smiles. Super stable and confident on that big track. This Juststock 10T will be a bit slower, but still a blast.

Got a moden body for it; a Fenix from Sidepiece. Love how it looks and how it handles.

Been tinkering with setup - took the dynamic camber out of the front and went with a 3/8 slotted .060" T-bar in hopes of generating more rear grip for on-power corner exit.

Picked up a NOS full-width front bumper and fabbed a new blue anodized front brace.

Finally got the ball diff dialed in after doing some YouTube research and learning how to properly break in and set one. What a difference- butter smooth and no barking. Shout out to Spencer Rivkin's YouTube channel!

Have had it on a track several times in the past 6 months - playing with tire compounds and sauce.

Got it all together and ready for some track time this weekend.

The 14ga motor leads got warm from a few runs up & down the street-- have some 12ga on the way.

They are each 1s.

It's alot of fun, but not crazy top speed. Ya definitely have to roll into the throttle coming out of a turn. 😁

Tinkering around with an adjustable servo mount.

Ditch that servo saver for a better steering feel, that (vintage now) S9551 is equipped to handle anything (also my favorite servo from BITD)

Agreed. This new setup is with an Xray at full strength.

Amen - love the 9551s. Run them in just about everything and always have an eye out for a good used one.

Got the saddle packs made, electronics back in, some tires on, tweaked it, and took it for a spin.

It's sitting around 1120g, race ready. Can't find a definitive weight requirement.

Man, it feels great! Really looking forward to putting it on track this weekend at BRCC for some test & tune. Getting ready for the TSRCAR race in July.
