Next Stop VONATS

Post by soniccj5 »

Ok so this year I have been busy working on my racing. After the 2011 VONATs I attended a few big races at my local track, JConcepts, ShortCourse Showdown and a couple other big events at the track. Between the racing and all the practice time I have logged, I feel like I can drive a little better.


So it is Time for me to get out the wrenches and fine tune my RC-10 old is new for my next stop The 2012 VONATS!

I want to give it a thorough cleaning, replace the front shock tower(broke last time out), replace the shock oil, get a new set of tires, install the 17.5 Ballistic, order body mount post for the wing and maybe loan the savox servo from the SC10 for a race.

Also on my bench is my original RC-10 I raced back in the 80's. It had a mid motor conversion, but I decided to use a HotTrick chassis I had lying around. I already bought the A&L rear bumper/motor guard all I need is some aluminum rods to build a chassis stiffener.
