Mrlexan, you need to take a picture of your gear and post your setup/specs too. I can't be the only geek who is interested.

I didn't bring anything other than my camera. I drove bscotti Yok and RC10 plus hoopty RC10 during practice.

I know, that's my point

You'll have to give me week or so. Scr8p still has it and will be sending back to me I believe this week..... but will do when I have back in my hands.

I think he wants pictures of your camera gear....

Wait a minute... scr8p has your camera?? I am having problems reading lately....

Right now, yes, Scr8p does have my camera..... I didn't want to carry it on the plane, pay to check it and risk having it damaged. Once I get it I will post some pics and some specs.

Sorry I dont have a digital camera but here is the scoop on the car. RC10 team car with most of Mark Westerfields set up on it with the exception of rpm arms on the back and jconcepts rear cvds with b4 stub axles and b4 hub carriers. These allow the use of b4 wheels all around. As for the electronics I used an LRP comp speedo and a novak 17.5 motor. I would like to thank Mark and Travis for all their help over the weekend.

How are you holding the battery in?
It looks like an AE battery cup, but there are no corresponding screws on the picture of the chassis bottom.

I had some issues at first with the dogbones popping out due to the longer rear shocks, but after putting the limiters in I had zero trouble out of this car the rest of the weekend. No breakage. Plenty fast, lots of steering, LOTS of fun! Anybody looking for a reasonaby priced entry into the classic class next year need to give the re-re's a thought.

Correct, AE battery cup, held down with 3M's outdoor double sided tape. Found at Walmart's anywhere in the paint department. It's the best "servo" tape I have found, and it's cheap. Grey in color with the red peel off backing. The stock Losi battery holddowns were not allowing the use of the new lipos, so I figured I'd give this a try before drilling more holes in the bottom....

Brandon should also be commended on the paint work on that re-re Frog. It looks great! Nicely done.
