HELLO I thought I would share something that I have change. I took my RC 10 pan that I was useing as my oval car. I was able to fine parts to do full oval change over. THE only problem I have is I dont have the track to try it on and we now have our Oregon rain. So I have to wait untill this spring. BUT I did some other changing for I extended the arms on the right side. and trun in the left side. It should work out nice along with useing a new set of 2.2 tires along with the brushless 13.5. with the new havoc S 3 speed controll. I love that set up . I got the idea a wile back when I saw that other one and use that other one for help so I say thank you to the one that did the first one. DON

OK here are a couple more of it .
ONE Thing I learn the body has to shorten in front and redrilled . Other then that it was simple.

Hey Don, I am doin a similar setup although I will refine mine a little bit more. I am hoping that I will be able to carry a little more speed in the corners than you, because I will probably have to limit the power I put to the six-gear trans. Hopefully I can pull away in the corners so I am even with you at the end of the straights.

HELLO VW sounds good to me. I will be looking forward of us racing together .
So what are you doing now since racing has come to an end for a little wile. HOPEFULY the new track will go and we all can start racing.
I am looking forward of it. I have heard they may set up an oval night so I hope so.

HEY VW sene me a picture of yours to my Reg E mail if you can I would enjoy looking at it. Maybe we can swap ideas ? RIGH now I am doing that boat that i was going to do . IT finely came through. Tell the family I say hi.
DON YOUR Vintage RC 10 driver.

just a bit of fyi, if the track has any sort of traction at all you are really going to fight with the offset arm thing (Ive never tired it on a loose track, but traditionally thats the only place where you see offest arm cars). More specifically what happens since you have so much left side weight it's going to load the LF in the fisrt phase of the corner, on corner entry, which is good usually, it keeps the front end balanced and makes for a very nice turn in. After that though, it all kinda goes to hell. Since you have all that left side weight, in the middle and last phase of the corner it's going to translate into a very high cross weight percentage which is going to drive the left rear tire and giving you a "loose in, tight off" condition which is very hard to tune out with that offset setup.
