Stop your crying biotch!

The car is sweet as it sits, plus, I'm sure you pretty much stole it from shodog! Biotch!

hahaha, I know, the crying has stopped.

BUT come on, it's one of shodog's cars and it didn't even have tecnacrafts on it, so of course it was a good deal. It didn't fit in without the fancy wheels anyway

Your still a biotch!

Does anyone know if they have the same track width? And mechanically, I am assuming that the LS one is better for higher speeds and handling, but is it?

I believe that when the new Reactive Caster front end was introduced the "LS" moniker was a reference to that. Just like when the RC12LS came out, it was basicly an RC12LW but now with the new front end hence the LS. As Scr8p Stated most 1:10 Pan car front ends will retain the original track, regardless if you mount the aftermarket Trinity EV10, Bud's, or TRC Front Ends. If you want a narrow track car you need the RC10L SS/Oval chassis, and lower / upper pod plates, T-Bar / T-bar Spacer, and the narrow diff hub and axle. Of course a few minor hardware items as well.

Hope this clarifies any confusion a bit,

I am ready to dive into my first on road car. Again, Shodog gave me a great deal, thanks! He also tossed in some cool Raceco stuff, a super diff and self locking wing nuts I got a few things for it already. Some orange washers and some Composite Craft parts. I had a lone aluminum shock collar that was destine for the single shock And I aquired a free 4turn brushless motor it will likely be too much for me to handle. The original wheels are also in the photo, compliments of shodog I am getting a MRP Lamborghini GTP body from Brian (bscotti). It's on the way, thanks Brian

I think the guys from Composite Crack werer smoking something when they did yup this instruction sheet I do like the Note at the bottom to advertise their top plate though

First, take a look at the number of parts
Now, look at the genius instructions
I think I know what to do...it's kinda like going to Ikea and buying a desk

Yeah it is a bit of a PITA. I sprung for an HPI Upper Pod plate. Will post pics for reference. I had fabbed a piece of aluminum - and was going to do a graphite plate to replace it. But it looked too tacky!

does anyone know if the was a composite craft or carbon fibre T-bar for the 10L?

well.....got it broken down, cleaned up and put together with everything but the sway bar. I don't have a drill with me to make the holes in the top plate for the sway bar yet, but I'll get there. I'm still struggling with dying the white parts orange and some of the aluminum parts baby/sky blue. I think once I get the body to look similar to these ones I will feel less guilty.

Ruffy might know if you don't get any answers here.

Sorry thought I had posted a reply. I believe they offered one for the narrow RC10L Oval style pod. I have to rumage through my items. Am not 100% if its carbon or black G10.

I have most of the C/C flat parts for the A/E line available including the "T" plate .....unfortunatly i'm not allowed to offer them for sale on this site untill i reach a higher post count.

Some of the stuff is pictured here

wow, nice collection of NIP parts, you will make a quite a few bucks here if you sell all that

I will keep it in mind for sure, thanks Dave!

Thank you very much,
I was just thinking about this car and although we made 2 C/C "T" plates (.065 & .090 i think) the hot set up of the day was .063 fiberglass for most carpet tracks and the carbon fiber was just for pavement racing.

Well, that's perfect, because this car will likely never see carpet. Having said that, would the 0.090 be better for pavement than the .065?
