Fresh RC10T Racer

Post by Charlie don't surf »

So I go check out this new "local" indoor track http://www.candcrc.com/ ( fast 26 sec mod truck laps) and I'm just blown away--I also run into a old teammate from a few years back. So I stay and watch the action
talk to a few of the faster guys, see what tires are working etc.....Get up the next day and immediately go to my "not so local" HS and drop what a new FTT4.1 would cost in parts to build a
new 10T :roll:

Here she is for now, I think I am going to leave it in my 'Trademark' etched tub- More to come after
I slick off more compounds of tires :cry:

Panther makes 2.2 size slicks. I don't care for how theirs look but I don't know of anybody else who still makes them. I like the old style ones that looked kind of balloony.

The JConcepts PN# is 0005, and they are B4 wing mounts set through the top holes in the RPM rear bulkhead with a 4/40 screw, and Lowgear is like the 5th person to mention the Panther slicks, but they have no real "racey" or sticky compounds- so I make my own.

Also I decided on my other vintage racer to look more like the 10T http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=16430&p=172441#p172441

wanted to see the B4 wing mount set up, looking very cool. I plan on doing something different with the other 10T I have coming in the mail. What did you do to strip it, Bead blast or liquid?

Looks like an awesome facility. :mrgreen: Looks like you’ll need plenty of speed on that front stretch. What are the rules? They might be posted on the site. I didn’t look that far. With that much high speed involved I wouldn’t skimp on batteries. Go with SMC or Maxamps. Otherwise you’ll save a few bucks, but might be disappointed. You probably know all this, but I’m an vacation and bored… :roll:

Thumbs Thumbs Thumbs- :roll: You post whoring to catch up with Halgar? :lol:

They are running Mod Truck, and SS ( 13.5 ) Truck. The track has tons of bite as far as I could tell, and I am running a 6.5 in Mod with SMC 4500 Sport Max Lipo's, now the deal is with mod all the add'l "c" rating like 40c, just adds more heat and then I have to run less gear so the 28c sportmax's actually run better overall in the 10min main 8)
