Re: looks like we need a rere associated on road section next!
Ah.. first thing that came to my mind is RC10L/RC12L... I'm in the process of cleaning up my old 10L's. It has to be the TC3? You know you're getting old when you don't even think it's that old. To this day It's still a great platform.

No, that's a DS. Dual Sport based on the rc10 platform.

Oh..! That makes more sense, wouldn't really see the reason for a TC3. I don't even know anything about the RC10DS.

Re: looks like we need a rere associated on road section next!
You know I was half joking when I said they'll need to make a DS to get more of my money, then they went ahead and did it. Well played AE....you win this round.
Consistency is the key I keep misplacing.

Excellent!
I missed the whole DS era so I'm really looking forward to this.
Keep 'em coming, AE.

Re: looks like we need a rere associated on road section next!
I would trade in a CC and a 10T for a DS!! 

I build RCs like people would have done back in the '90s ..................................... if they had 3D printers.

Re: looks like we need a rere associated on road section next!
Same situation here! I was so focused on off road that I completely ignored the DS line when then were around. Wish I had atleast picked up one since like most other rc10 guys, we already had a majority of parts to maintain one. Only problem is there was never really a class to run them. I know the DC10 just came out but even years before I thought about trying to do a DS drift car project build.......
Old school racing all the way!

Noooooooooo. I invested my kids entire college fund in mint condition DS rear tires and rims.

If I were a betting man, I would have lost money on this one too. Never thought the DS would make it to their lineup

Going to need at least one of these, hoping they're $320 or less - probably dreaming.
Does anyone know what the wheelbase and max ground clearance is on a DS?

What can I get for a run-in kidney?

Osiris is the key.

What body fits on the DS?
Pg. 33 SCCA Trans AM style body.
Ride height?
Pg. 49 Manual says 0.40" or 10.5mm chassis ride height, with body 3/8" or 9.5mm. Minimum ride height is 5mm according to VTA rules.
Wheelbase?
Pg. 48 Adjustable, but doesn't say what the range is. 259mm to 264mm is the best I can come up with based on VTA 1/10 RC rules found elswhere.
