I tried running those Barracuda titanium outdrives in a XXT and the slots showed signs of wear after the second run. I would suggest using them for shelf display cars. With the plastic outdrives with those aluminum saver rings, you'll notice that the dogbone cannot slide straight into the saver ring...

Looks totally doable with 10.5. If everybody else is double, single jumping it, then I will double, single it. Otherwise if you try to triple, you just end up driving up the back of someone else's car that is slow to double or land on someone's car that is slow landing the single, which risks breaki...

Contact Jerry Hellström on the Facebook group RC10 Vintage Mania for help and advise, he's been working on making carbon fiber chassis's too.

Thanks guys.

The rear suspension arms are off-set a little. So depending on which direction you run the arms, you shorten or lengthen the wheelbase.

That Atom is sweet! Always looking for one. No idea what I would put it in, maybe my XX4, but I want one and the pit wizard to program it.

That's awesome. good deal. That is an actual carbon fiber body, correct?
