Re: NEW RC10B5
What would be nice is if the transmission, motor mount, suspension mounts, shock tower, and anything else in that back area was all integrated into eachother, so to switch from rear to mid, you would only need to remove 4 screws on the bottom of the chassis and rotate the entire assembly. You would have to reverse the rear suspension toe, if any though.
My current vintage racing lineup:
Associated RC10 B2, RC10 Team Car, Losi XXT, XX4, XFactory X5, Schumacher CAT 2000

Re: NEW RC10B5
Yeah, my guess is both too. I hope it comes with a slick body and not one of these horrific cab forward stinkbug atrocities.
Re: NEW RC10B5
The problem with that is that most mid motor setups run an extra idler gear. Although 3-gear with a mid motor can be useful on super high-bite tracks, I don't expect AE to really push the envelope with this.nicholasdivitto wrote:What would be nice is if the transmission, motor mount, suspension mounts, shock tower, and anything else in that back area was all integrated into eachother, so to switch from rear to mid, you would only need to remove 4 screws on the bottom of the chassis and rotate the entire assembly.

Re: NEW RC10B5
I dont understand how an extra idler can make a difference like that. Does it have to do with the amount of drivetrain resistance, or maybe the amount of play in the gear train? That makes nonsense to me...henry wrote:

Re: NEW RC10B5
Maybe they are worried about the rotation of the motor for inertia purposes?

Re: NEW RC10B5
Exactly. I think with the 3 gear setup w/ mid motor the motor's inertia "fights" the normal weight transfer upon acceleration.gomachv wrote:Maybe they are worried about the rotation of the motor for inertia purposes?

Re: NEW RC10B5
There is a Top Secret picture on Team Assocaited's website. It has the same backdrop used for the RC10B4 when it was released. COuld it really be a B5?

Re: NEW RC10B5
Thats what it would seem to be. I'm really hoping this is a game changer for AE and advances the hobby again

Re: NEW RC10B5
Here is a better shot after messing around with the exposure a bit.

Re: NEW RC10B5
This is starting to look like a new car and not just more updates. That front shock tower is a new design for AE.

Re: NEW RC10B5
Well, there it is. I hope someone makes a more attractive body for it.
