Or maybe I'll do like Joe and just run my 17.5 like normal and see what happens.

Still planning on going, though! It'll be a lot of fun to have a race with all J82's instead of running with the trucks like we usually do
If you want a 13.5, let me know.

I would think the Original RB5 rears ith the new 54mm shaft in the back and the new shorter rear body with the original rear shaft should be pretty close. I have everything, i am just to lazy to try it!

It's so on...

An X-60 version would be killer though.

Thanks! It's starting to work really well. Inline front axles, black rear springs, and GT2 shock tower/arms/30 degree caster blocks.

Default longer j82

what about the new sc10 chassis to lengthen the wheelbase to give it a better look in my opinion?

If you want a "longer" look, the inline axles (whose primary purpose is to bring back the steering response) gives the chassis a more buggy-like wheelbase/width aspect ratio.

I have a feeling that the longer SC10 chassis will BF the handling.

What base set up are people using now that they've been around a bit?

The J82 is is sweet,

I have been away from RC for a very long time (18yrs) and now getting back into it.
I picked up a Slash at the recomendation of a friend and it is great but want a more worthy track car. The local track is geared toward 1/8 scale I am not going nitro, I think a J82 might meet the need.

Brushless / Lipo - J82

Your thoughts and comments.

Thanks,

I'd also like a baseline setup for the J82.

Thanks
