This is probably a dumb question but I haven't asked a dumb question today and it's getting late. :oops:

I googled "trackmaster rc10 conversion" and found this:

Something like this would be perfect for a Greenwood Corvette project I have planned.
Thank you for finding the photo and thank you scr8p for identifying the manufacturer.

Hi,

On the flat chassis' they switched the caster blocks, left on the right and right on the left.

I tried to find the Big Boys Toys Sprint car conversion manual but no luck so far,

it has what degree caster blocks you need and how to do the trimming.

It doesn't look like it here, but a company called Cheetah also made front suspension mount wedges.

Cheers, Dave. :)

Yes the rib on the hub needs to be notched to allow the steering arm full travel when swapped left to right.

I had one of these bitd and it's possible that I have the instruction manual in a box somewhere.

Yes, C3 and 10th - it's by OLDRC.com and from a Bolink mold.

You've probably already seen this but just in case:

I've gotten side-tracked and haven't done anything more with this project since January (been tinkering with bikes lately).
Someday I'll get back to the Vette and when I do, I want to build something similar to the Trackmaster chassis.
