Can anyone list the shock lengths of built RC10DS shocks in CM or inches? From center mounting to center mounting point. I'm looking to work on a project and I'm not 100% sure I'll go the actual DS shocks route.

Thanks in advance!

I'm laughing but probably for a different reason. Just in case I got it wrong. Did I just hear a grown man who plays with TOY cars calling other toy car playing grown men gay because they wanted to try something different? I would think the majority of people in society would call ALL these men gay...

I would keep it as a T2 and run it as such. The short wheelbase works nicely on clay. I had an xstar back in the day, I may even still have it without a label somewhere. If memory serves it was more rpm based then torquey. I remember swapping the bushings for bearings and using it as a cheater motor...

Nice on the BB sterring! I've tried to find one and had little luck. I'm running a RC10GT setup and it is so so. I dont have a lot of clearence on the top, so I'm nervous the lock nuts won't hold at some point.

As a 'GT-clone' it shoudl ahve the same wheelbase and fit nicely on a T2?

jealous!

Pretty sure this might work for you: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Aluminum-front-nose-plate-bumper-for-Associated-RC10GT-/380249292644?hash=item58889fbf64

To my knowledge the only consequence was weight vs 1 piece wheels. With brushless power it might actually be a nice thing to swap tires when they are spent.

Does anyone else agree?

Amazing Looking!!

Thanks, that was the article I was talking about. Appreciate the foam info too.

I'd like to run rubber tires. I'm mostly an off road guy with some TC experience. Foams aren't my thing. I also don't have a carpet track near me, so it's outside running only. The article I was talking about made it seem like not a terrible amount of work. If I found some decent soft compound rubbe...

I'm sure there is one out there. I replaced my old nose plate with a new purple anodized one I found about 8 months ago.

The manuals are on AE's website. Same about of shimming as stock.

I put a MIP top shaft and dual slipper on my T2 without issue.

I have an original RC10L Graphite roller I've been sitting on, deciding what to do with it. I was hoping to maybe trade it on rctech for a 2wd buggy but haven't gotten much luck, so maybe I'll build it up. I saw an article way back when about hollowing out touring car wheels and glueing a tire-less ...

Good call on non-cab forward bodies.

Surprised to see a T2 body work, I figured it would be too short.

You can run T4 bodies on T2s if you run them in the long setup.
