if you get a chance too, can you post a pic of how you cut the body for the wing mounts to pass through? i hacked a square hole in mine, but sure it could have been done cleaner.

I cut an uneven square on mine. Easier to remove the body.

Mine too, and dremel rounded the edges to reduce cracking.


Didn't work

Hmmm... I did my other car this way too. Was pretty easy. Body drops right on.

You can only stop the cracking around the top of shock tower by not crashing.

Most of my cracks are from.taking the same body off for the last 2 years LOL

I thought the big, not so square, dremel rounded edged hole was easy? It shouldn't create cracks,

Its from donkey flips... and that happens cus you use spark throwers!

I'll take 2 thin slits over a big odd shaped hole anyday!

I think it looks better,

Very neat and excellent painting skills!

Did you notice a performance gain with the reversed tower?

I don't know... The maiden voyage will be this week. Going to try it both ways and with the longer shocks. But I already know that the angle of the big bores is better in relation to the a-arm angle with the shock tower reversed.

You have far too much time on your hands!! Hermit. It does look pretty bad ass though.

Scott, didn't you run an RC10 with the front tower reversed at one time or another?

Ya, some serious hermitting going on with this car.

Yes I did....Won a big race in Amarillo TX with it in the stock class.

This is a very cool car!

But I'm itching for a pic of the inner front camber link mounting setup with the flipped tower. Or is that top secret?

Its not top secret, I just need to take it off and do a little dremeling to it to make it better looking. Its still a little rough... Hoping to have that done tomorrow or the next and will get pics posted up here. It was really simple though,

I thought that question would have come up much sooner, you would think I would have had a faster response for it, LOL.

I wasn't sure if that was you or Baldy. or did he have the same setup?

So, I forgot about a planned trip to DC. Race report delayed, sorry.
