Hmmm.....honestly i was way more into the design end of the hobby than the driving (one nice perk was i did own all the cars :) ) so i can really only tell you what sold and what it was used for....so that said, i would answer if you had anything less than ideal traction (limited wheel spin) then the .090 would be way too stiff.
Hope that helps.

yeah, makes sense. Do you have both to sell?

Do you have a photo of the C/C 10L chassis? I just want to see if what I have is C/C or something else.

I think I know what to do...it's kinda like going to Ikea and buying a desk :lol:
I apologize for saying that you guys were on crack, but these instructions are pretty basic :?

I hope this is how it's supposed to go together...of course I still have to drill the hole, which could have been factory placed :mrgreen:

You got a lot of cool stuff that's for sure. As far as buying some parts, I'm not ready to buy too much for this build at the time. Like everyone else, I have another project to finish before I get going on this one. Having said that, you know I will still be working on this anyway :roll: I will lyk when I have freed up some extra coin.

got your PM, thanks!

I didn't expect it to be fiberglass. I was hoping it was the carbon composite type so it would match the rest. I think DW911 was telling me they made the composite ones, which would be what I would get, but thanks for keeping an eye out 8)

I have a comp craft chassis its an RC10L SS, I can post a pic of what T-bar is on it but I think its just a fiberglass T-bar that had been dyed black.

From the looks its Fiberglass, even upon examining the holes drilled into it, also the "look" of the lamination looks similar to regular fiberglass on this one.

PS: Pardon the state of the chassis, it has been a work in progress for a long time now.

If it is a dyed fiberglass T-bar, it took the dye pretty well. That will open up the options for sure.

You mean the diffuser lower plates :) Composite Craft, HPI and of course there was the crazy awesome Tecnacraft Aeropod. I may have a spare, let me rumage a bit.

HPI had two different types also, one looked like the Comp/Craft and another was full on woven carbon fiber.

Thanks, but I thought the RC10L SS was the narrow pod version (200mm). What I'm need is the 235mm chassis to fit this wide pod...

This is what I bought sight unseen, claimed as a RC10L chassis, but for the life of me, I don't know what it will fit.

Of course, I could break out my Dremel and make it work, but the wheel base would still be too long.

Anyway, can anyone please identify...
