RC 10 GOLD pan oval

Post by Rustbucket »

HELLO I thought I would share something that I have change. I took my RC 10 pan that I was useing as my oval car. I was able to fine parts to do full oval change over. THE only problem I have is I dont have the track to try it on and we now have our Oregon rain. So I have to wait untill this spring. BUT I did some other changing for I extended the arms on the right side. and trun in the left side. It should work out nice along with useing a new set of 2.2 tires along with the brushless 13.5. with the new havoc S 3 speed controll. I love that set up . I got the idea a wile back when I saw that other one and use that other one for help so I say thank you to the one that did the first one. DON

Hey Don, I am doin a similar setup although I will refine mine a little bit more. I am hoping that I will be able to carry a little more speed in the corners than you, because I will probably have to limit the power I put to the six-gear trans. Hopefully I can pull away in the corners so I am even with you at the end of the straights.

just a bit of fyi, if the track has any sort of traction at all you are really going to fight with the offset arm thing (Ive never tired it on a loose track, but traditionally thats the only place where you see offest arm cars). More specifically what happens since you have so much left side weight it's going to load the LF in the fisrt phase of the corner, on corner entry, which is good usually, it keeps the front end balanced and makes for a very nice turn in. After that though, it all kinda goes to hell. Since you have all that left side weight, in the middle and last phase of the corner it's going to translate into a very high cross weight percentage which is going to drive the left rear tire and giving you a "loose in, tight off" condition which is very hard to tune out with that offset setup.
