Parking Lot Buggy

[LTO_Dave]

Fist off, eff you Photobucket and your stupid watermarks, pop-ups and general trickery.


Since my local off-road track closed more than a year ago, I converted my Re-re World's car into a parking lot racer like I always wanted to do as a kid.

I got some Pro-Line cone dish wheels from scr8p, wrapped them with Pro-Line Road Hawgs, added some MIP 1/4" CVD's, and used the old nitro fuel tubing trick to lower the shocks a bit. It's still running the Tekin G-10, Trinity Copperhead 27T, Spektrum Rx and Reedy 2s Li-Po that I used briefly for off-road.

I totally forgot to get one. It has Fibre-Lyte towers, tranny brace and battery hold-down.

I love those tires I wish Proline still made them, I have set on my RC10T. They last a long time and are my favorite for asphalt and concrete. Nice job, post pics with the body off. Thanks for sharing. TJ.

I used Road Hawgs for years from the time they came out. Just put my last new set on an old RC10 B3. I too wish Pro-Line would remake these tires. They would sell like mad...

Here's an update with a few new parts and some body-off photos:

- Barracuda slipper eliminator
- Integy/Matrix delrin 64P gears
- MIP battery pack pal
- Peak Racing RC-3000 Power Flo cells
- Twinn-K real carbon fiber airfoil wing

A lot of guys used to cut the unused portion of the topshaft off when using the slipper eliminator. For whatever reason I never trusted just using the set screw to attach it (even though that's all that held the pinion on ). I would stack up a bunch nylon spacers to fill the space and put a nut on it.

I had to use an original topshaft since the Barracuda piece didn't fit the re-re topshaft. So I won't be cutting anything.

I ran one on my LX-T using only the setscrew and never had any problems. And the Barracuda one is machined with a conical shape on the inside, so a flat spacer wouldn't sit flush against it.
