Yes it does... i'd love to see one being run. I must admit I can see the laydown version working in high grip situations (on carpet with foams) But I just have a hunch that in low grip conditions it wouldn't perform aswell as a more conventional touring car chassis..... but I guess thats why the upright shock option is offered?
Either way I love the innovation & out-of-the box thinking of this company's products

The touring car is what I went there to look at 'cause it looks cool as hell. Then just stumbled on that pic of the B3. I agree the lay-down shock design may not be the most effective, but it looks cool as hell on their touring car. Even if it performed terribly I'd have a hard time mounting them the other way. I was looking at their CF shock tower selection and they look like they would fit a lot of other applications very easily and have really cool lines. http://tigermothracing.com/lcg_v10_11.html

Sorry to lift this topic up but this car is so special that I have a question of it.
Do some of you guys here have it. If so please share us with more pics of it.
The link doesnt work anymore.

PS If there is more laydown version please share them too.
There was a guy at Cactus several years back that had a car like this. Don't know if it's same, but it worked fairly decent if I remember correctly... They weren't a main... But it looked good.
I had a chance to dig out some boxes of goodies over at Barry Raborn's house last night. Barry was the owner of both Bullet and Raborn Racing products. I took a few pictures but they aren't the greatest since they are from a cell phone. Anyways,...

That truck is sitting at Barry's house now. It wouldn't do all that well on a touring track. The motor is offset left and up high. It is really intended to be only a dirt car. I have drastically updated it to bring it up to modern levels. Barry even...

Thank you. That is helpful. Its all a waste if money! Lol. But it makes me happy. Just wish I was better or was making improvements. It seems that im a few laps behind every race. I have fun
Must be that time to run something new, Ruffy's thread inspired me.
I too am heading racing with my T4.1 for the first time in a long long time this weekend. It is pretty much out of the box RTR but will have a selection of tires. Last time I...

Well i didnt think I'd actually care to do this but im real curious about the topic and dont really know where to look for the proper information.
Can you guys direct me to a good site that can give me the breakdown for racing rc's. What classes...

On the local club scene I can hold my own. When I get around Jharris and his crew, I look like a fool. I never get as much practice as I would like when I have traveled so lap times on new tracks are not great. Locally I am toward the top of the...
So now that I've got the RC10 running, I want to race it or at least take it on a track.
Any chance for arranging some racing somewhere in North Texas? Or at least a track? It seems like the one that was in my area is closed. :cry:

Ahh, oops. :oops:
I was thinking of Mike's Hobby Superstore. :D
Wild Bill's is still in biz. I'll check that out. The Indy RC one looks epic! You can bet I'm gonna be there someday soon!
I know there's not a whole lot on here about GT's, but here's my tub GT. I'm going to be racing this truck, so the suspension has been updated with most of the newer GT's suspension arms and shock towers. It doesn't have the wide front axles yet or...

Justin you're right, when I pulled the trans apart it had no shims on the top shaft at all. I rebuilt it with all new parts except for the bearings (I cleaned those) and outdrives, I shimmed it when i put it back together with a new trans case. That...

Ya. I picked up one to replace an old Bolink one that got badly smoke damaged. My son is working on cleaning it up. I have quite a few to restore for a second time. Finally we are now back to a point in life where we can start picking things back...
