No slipper!...on-road...want all they power to the tires!

Just fitting parts, nothing been cleaned or gone thru yet..
but got the rear tower, shocks and camber links figured out...that will be the toughest part I hope....going DS rear arms if this thing is to wide...has to fit under a 228mm body with Bolink/RC10 green dots

Very interesting build...I take it that you're going to mount the tranny as a mid. Did you cut the chassis yourself, or is it made for that? Also, how are you mounting the bulkhead/tower?...I just started a mid project out of spare parts.

The rc10 version was a mid motor set up.

I had the Losi version which was rear motor. Had I kept it, I was gonna work in making it mid.

So what's the plan for the front?

The rear bulkhead is done....I made it from fiberglass...I will better pics once I get the other side fitted...Factory Works cut the chassis, it's an original "Jammer" designed chassis

Hate to show my ignorance but I've never heard of this , can anybody fill me in on the scooby of this build ?

Going Bolink 1/10 pan car front end...simple onroad design...
complex out back/simple up front!

Back in the late 80s early 90s they ran a "gearbox" onroad class!...Advanced Racing Technologies made an RC10 conversion for their Lucas Agitator...also did it for the JRX2 and Ultima I believe...many people adapted many different styles of transmissions to different onroad chassis...it was a killer class!...and cars are pretty rare these days...I didn't have a car to start with, but Jeff Malar makes the original chassis design!...I had mine drilled for Stealth instead of 6 gear and no holes in the front so I can mount a Bolink front end to it...Thumbs can give more info on the class and cars...he raced them!

Seems like an RC10DS killer!

Kind of sounds like the sprint car I built. Can't wait to see it finished.

I don't know what this is, but I'm digging it.

EDIT: just seen this.

This was a heavy duty US class back in about 89...only the top elite drivers ran it. It was short lived but cool as hell!

And lost... a lot!
