RC10L3 Touring ?'s

[EvaderRacer76]

I was wondering about how fast a stock-powered RC10L3 Touring would go and how well they handle and manuver, because i was thinking about buying one, but I also was considering the Corally CCT, but I thought that it might be to hard to find parts for where I live (Wisconsin,US). Give me any ideas or opinions or maybe other, better 2wd FAST touring cars. I am looking for a very fast touring car.

thanx

Well technically it's not really a tourer...it's a pan car made to the same width to accept touring car bodies. It will be much faster then a TC with the same motor but being 2wd it needs a very good surface to run on. Especially if you run a TC body on it. Typically pan cars have very little suspension movement on them so they work much better with high down force GTP/GT1 style bodies. If your going to be just driving round the street and such I'd stick with a 4wd TC even though they are slower, they are a lot easier to drive. If you plan on racing it check to see if they even have a class for them or if they'll allow you to run it with the TCs. Running them with TCs is a bit hairy though because it's so much lighter if it gets bumped it's gonna go flying.

As for speed the pan car will do about 40-45mph with a stock motor.

Now speed comparison within TCs...given the same gearing and motor they will all go about the same speed. Where the big difference is in handling.

Since the 10L3 touring is bascially a onroad pan car getting it to hook up is the main problem, the second as mentioned would be if there is a class for direct drive cars. Best tires would be normal rubber tire possibly v grooved in a soft or medium compound. The final selection could vary but I would think a wider tire in rear (26mm) and a 24mm in front and finding the right spring and shock setup to provide the proper traction if you were racing on asphalt, carpet would be much easier as traction is more consistant for that you could use foams.

You would have better luck at setting up a TC3 for any track surface and be assured there is class for it, no so using the 10L3 TC. You'd be more likely to buy a car you can't use for bashing or racing if you got the L3 touring car. Equipping both with the same motor/battery combo the L3 would be faster than a TC3 due to weight and rotating mass while the TC3 would have the edge in handling.

Thanx for all the advice
