My 10LS (and it becoming a Pro10)

[Jeep-Power]

Well, I'm pretty sure it is a 10L... I had always wanted one. This one came up on RC Crawler.com.. got it for $35 shipped, with a TON of vintage foam tires.






Will someone please tell me if this is an Associated front end, and if not, who made it?

Looks like a 10L chassis but definitely not an Assoc. front end. I can't tell you who made it but someone else probably will pop in.

cool-- I didn't think it was factory-- there seem to be holes for a different (OEM) setup-- when did the IFS become available? I'm wondering if that's what the holes a re for. I've seen alot of 10l's with the IFS.

That front end looks like an advance technologies aggitor front end.

We relocated to Fort Mill, South Carolina back in December. We finally got into our new house about 6 weeks ago. Still unpacking.

Yesterday my Jeepin' buddy took me down to The Hobbystop in Rock Hill, SC. They have an outdoor offroad dirt and a below grade banked paved triangle on road track. I was floored! Of course, I instantly thought of getting a 10L built and on this track.



Well, I have since picked up another 10L (with a bunch of hop-up parts on it) and a independent front end kit. With a brushless system, can I get a 10L to keep up with the contemporary cars? I am not looking to win the A-main, just don't want to always be the guy in last place.

That front end is from Raceco. I use the same one on one of my 10l's

well, a dream finally came true-- got to race a my 10LS. Since I first saw pancars in Competition Plus BITD, I have always dreamed of running one of these.

Picked up a re-pop Bolink(?) body, slapped in a 10.5, 2S setup, and bought some BSR tires for it.

This was at Barceloneta RC Complex in Barceloneta, PR. It is a beautiful track-- get there if you can!

This thing was fast and fun. I was able to do the same laptimes as the 200mm Nitro Sedans.

I took some time to set it up-- using what I have learned from 12th scale carpet racing. IT was great from the first lap. Rand BSR pinks in the rear and Purples in the front

going full Pro10 with this-- adding AE Macro side shocks and a TC center shock.

Drew up a new pod plate and Factory Works had it to me in two days! Check them out for OEM replacement parts they stock or a good price on your own custom designs.

Gotta love the mess.

gonna run 1S saddle packs and a Hobbywing Justock 10.5 combo

Ebay is the way.

furthering my blue anno obsession, I found a TC3 shock and blue VCS for the sides. Waiting on springs

looking to loose a little of the weight being added, I took about 3g out of a spare left rear hub. I have a lightened diff hub on the way that I plan to do the same to.

Ben reading thought the Pro10 thread on RCTech-- gleaning som good info.

One thing I discovered is Lefthander R/C and Mudslide Motorsports-- they are RC Oval suppliers and thus have a bunch of parts that fit the 10L's

lightened diff hub

Got a lightened diff hub on Ebay-- (there are a few left!) The seller told me this is a Factory Team (before FT was a brand) piece that was given out to Team drives BITD.

It shaves off about 4G

titanium axle with lightened hubs and new Kimbrough gear with ceramic balls-- wow are those things smooth!

rear axle in

picked up a set of Teflon pivot balls and new retainers from Lefthander Racing -- looking clean

Had to relocate the rear body mounts -- thankfully I had these tall ones in the parts bin

The Newest Hobbywing Justock 10.5 combo came in last week--

Got it all together and ready for some track time this weekend.

The 14ga motor leads got warm from a few runs up & down the street-- have some 12ga on the way.
