RC10L

[mexican_speed]

I have plenty of touring cars, both electric and nitro. Where do you find the foams or entire wheels from, do the Jaco wheels fit the rear hub, and what about the front???

I was going through some old boxes, and came across my old RC10L pan car. It still runs, last race I remember was about 2 1/2 years ago. I was thinking about upgrading it with all new equipment. It handles great, no problems what so ever. Or should I just shelf it, and keep it as a display for posterity. What does everybody think?

Go or no go?

This car set the record back in 1990something for fastest car around 60mph, so it's fast, but a little outdated.

I still race my RC10L. Hey parts are widely avaliable and the performance is great!

You might want to check out the RC10TC3 - I don't have one yet but it looks great!

Keep the 10L!!!!!

Man, i had that car back in the very early 90's. What a machine. There is no developments since then that have made that pan car obsolete. Just put a quick motor/esc in it and you will have the edge. I promise. DO NOT spend your money on a TC3. Pan cars are much faster and break less (that is, if you don't slam the boards). Just my $.02. http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif

I just bought a RC10LS and RC10L3O from this BB. They are still in the mail and can't wait to blow my clubs track apart.
One question though. Can I turn the 10L3O into a street racer instead of an Oval racer? If so, how?
I sure am happy to hear how happy everyone is with theirs.

I have been praising the 10L3 series of cars at my local track for over 12 months now, people will nver learn just how cheap to run these cars are. As good as TC3's and other 4 wheel drive cars are, it takes more skill to hussle an 10L3 around a track.

Mexican speed,
I wouldn't shelve it, these cars are great fun and don't nail your wallet since they are so simple in design. Besides associated has ways to update the older 10Ls to the newer suspension systems. They seem to do what they can to help older cars stay competitive.

FastDAD,
Try running a 10L on a very smooth outdoor basketball court with a thin layer of dust on it. WOW can these babies do doughnuts!
But they are cheap to run! and VERY simple to maintain.
What motors do you use? What tires do you use? I just got mine and could use all the help I can get. lol Email me with the info if you want. As stated in another post above I have a 10Ls and 10L3 oval.

Ammoace,

I sure you can find more in depth info at www.teamassociated.com (http://www.teamassociated.com) , but the oval has all of the batts on the left side and is narrower that the 10L3. If I am correct about this, it would mean using a new chassis blank, rear pod, axle, and possibly some longer shocks.

rvrrun,
You are correct about the parts to update older 10Ls. I guess I didn't write my message clearly enough. I was trying to tell Mexican speed to keep it because it can be updated and is still a good quality car that in the right hands can be competitive.

By the way, I love my cars.
