Had to drill and "tap" the nose braces for this LWB configuration.
After the racing I had done with the JunkC10, I used its' setup on this car, 3 degree arm mounts/0 degree hubs in rear being the main things.

Here is where I started, a car that looks like it was run once into the curb and put away forever after that.

Nice car! Scr8p talked me out of running a Team Car less nice than that one.
I'm curious, why the transverse battery mounting?
. . . you have Associated Green Slime for brains. And not even new Green Slime, but old gooped out Green Slime.

With shorty pack the weight is still centered. I haven't calculated it or weighed it but this might even be better than a longitudinal battery. I also haven't been able to fit a fan under the body when the esc is in the side. I like the wiring better too. On the track, the car was unbelievably good.

after action report: TQ and win in 2wd buggy class
my first qualifier would have put me 4th in nitro 1/8 buggy, and still would have been in the A after the second qual.
two re-release worlds cars, a b44.2, a t4.1, and some other modern buggy went down.
a couple of veteran racers that did not bring out 2wd buggies b/c they thought track would not suit them were rethinking that after that first 5min no crash run.
The buggy handled great with nice turn-in, traction, handling the whoops and fair sized jumps and ruts.
I had to throw a newer front end though, it seems some of the original white parts can get super brittle, depending on how they were treated.
wheee

ps the RC10 GT-E has been born, check it out in the truck forum!

An RC10 with a 17.5 and some boost is just wonderful.
