Anyone have confirmed date for delivery or pick up at the LHS?

I agree, bearings are a must everywhere.

I am going to start picking up parts and such, I have not inquired as to when they arrive for sale.

I just got back from my LHS and forgot to ask when the kit might be in.

I picked up some trail truck parts and new brushless boat. (Nothing I needed that's for sure)

The latest date I've seen slipped to mid September.

...that's where i'm going too.....what sizes (bearings) and how many do I need to outfit the car???

Does anyone recognize that ESC on the RC10Classis ?
Is it the same as the RTR ?

It's the prototype Reedy competition ESC. It's definitely not the same as the RTR XP Digital one.

yea thats all i heard so far too...i bet the front battery mounts are still the same so its not on my buy list.. a rear bulkhead, rear arm mounts retail $5 each and the Steering Assembly retails $8 thats on my to buy list so far.. i really like that the chassis, motor plate, and spur can be used on the stealth.. just makes it look even better for the team car rere

Well, I said I support overseas production in some instances not juvenile labor!

I bet the change to the transmission is that the gears no longer have burrs.
Having spent about 9 hours making the gears mesh properly in my all steel 6 gear, I can appreciate that!

Am I right to assume that standard bore rear springs will work for the rear shocks? Will there be different springs released for the shorter front shocks?

front buggy springs have not changed in length from the .56, .71 & .89 sizes. IRRC

Sort of Joey. If the springs are (for example silver, gold or green), they're 1 3/8" long. Technically, the modern (black, brown, silver etc etc) .89 front springs are probably closer 1 3/4" long.

And kipps hobbies http://www.kippshobbies.com/ still make good short shock springs to give some tuning abilities to the 0.56 (and 0.71) shocks. He has 2 to 6 lb, 1-1/4" springs, which are lighter than most touring car type shock springs of that size (which are way too stiff for an RC10).

I have one on preorder...Can't wait...

Anyone care to share what esc /motor combo you plan on running with the six gear. I went club spec novack. And 18 on pinion gaer .

I'm liking the Tekin RS I recently picked up, but been eyeballing the Speed Passion Revention stuff....17.5 motor, havent worked out gearing quite yet, but something to put me near the 5.2~5.4 FDR.

I have the club system in my carpet car and it is great.
