That is a great build. Man, a lot of you guys find all the nice stuff. Where does it all come from? I can’t imagine you are finding all of this on eBay.

Another impeccable build from you. I can always tell your builds apart. They all have a similar feel of perfection, lol.

Keep it up. Glad you get to enjoy such a build over Christmas break.

Yeah man. You always pop in and drop some really good stuff. Your builds are all next level and packed with goodies. I like zooming in and scarfing eyeloads of the details.
Hope you're doin' something fun.

Thanks! Believe it or not, I did find many of those parts on Ebay...but had to buy an entire roller just to get one or two. :lol: But some parts like the chassis I've found in various Fb groups. It takes a while to piece everything together, and sometimes I even have to swap parts from other builds just to finish another one.

Yep. I remember when they were first released, RCCA race coverage (can't recall the race) noted that "those purple cells were everywhere", so I bought a matched set for my CAT2000. By the standards of the day, it would run "forever" :lol: The irony is that I didn't need them. My batteries never dumped since I was upside down for at least 2 out of every 5 minutes I raced.

Dave- How did it work? Is it a spoiler for airflow under the body? Or is it a diffuser? Both?

I believe the idea was that the chassis would create more downforce for better handling. I never actually raced one, so I have no idea how well they worked.

I found this pic of another RC10L ground effects chassis. It is similar, but not an LTO. In this iteration, the rear section is definitely acting as a diffuser. It would be fascinating to learn if they were effective.

I recently built a 10L speed run car with that Tecnacraft Aero-trac rear pod and a slightly different Ground Effects chassis. I can't say how effective either part will be while sitting on the shelf. :lol:
