The guy driving my car in the video, Kyle Rhodes, has a fast lap of 16.1 with his mid-motor B5. He got a fast lap of 16.5 with the Stealth. Not bad for the first adjustments on the car. Wow- that is pretty close. Assuming the avg. lap times for a heat are comparable that's pretty good. B5M has an a...

Pro-line Electrons or Suburbs in M4 compound on all four's is the popular tire. The track was a practice day (a little dusty, no race groove). And there was no traction compound on the tires. That back section is a steep downhill where he spun the rear end out a couple of times using too much brake...

These are the shocks you need: http://www.teamassociated.com/parts/details/6432/ http://www.teamassociated.com/parts/details/6431/ AE changed the shock bodies slightly along the way. I purchased a pair of the 1.32 recently and compared it to the set from my 10T. The color is different and the new o...

That track looks like A LOT of fun!

Yeah, I know the feeling..

Thanks! Unfortunately this is technically ROAR illegal so no official racing. I knew that when I started building, but the a-arms are so cool I was compelled to see it through :D I was hoping the B4 wheels would narrow the rear enough, however it doesn't. If someone had a chassis with a narrowed re...

In the horizon podcast from 2010 cliff said the '91 became the b4 so they should be really close. I'd expect slight variations on nose and arm width. The box description for the b4 references the '91 car. The b4 looks like a '91 with shorter shock towers/ shocks. It would be cool to create a hybrid;...

Any YZ10, in parts or as a used roller, is not easy to find. If you have most of the parts, then it would be easier to build up the chassis from the parts that you have. It would help if you posted pictures here of what parts there are, can we can try to identify for you what else is needed. That's...

It would be cool to have a Kyle Reed Losi replica too. That would be a fun race! Watching those videos, Kyle had the better handling car. Masami was the more consistent driver though. Rick Vehlow was no slouch either; came within a tick of winning it all. After the third leg most people thought he ...

Maybe Fred and Justin are doing it? I'm putting the finishing touches on my '91 chassis and am waiting for curtis to get back to me prior to cutting it. I think the main chassis for both the '89 and '91 cars is identical and only the top deck is different. If so, it will make doing the '89 car much...

Hey Daryl,

You guys ran a hand built prototype car at the '91 ROAR Nats which had a double decker carbon fiber chassis, LW tranny and a serious suspension set up. Whatever happened with this car and why didn't it make it to production?

Regards,

Justin

No kidding...a good listing with detailed photos and write up. At least a couple grand per car.

I just went back and listened to the podcast with Jason Ruona and Cliff said that he and Roger worked on the swept forward design for months. When they went to the nationals the prior year they tested a prototype with hand built parts which smoked the surfs up section. The critical design challenge ...

Great pictures. Thanks Curtis. Mystery around this car slowly disappears. One thing I still can not understand... when we first made 30deg mockup version, we couldn't replicate side view picture of '91. Jake tried it with real mockup car and I tried it virtually with CAD software. So we made our ve...

You can get the belts from toughracing. They ship from South Korea, so it takes a while, but I use them in my runners and they're just fine. Spur gears are easy.
