All of the aluminum parts are out for anodiuze so i should be assembling a car for pics shortly. As for the front end, that will follow shortly there after. I will keep all of you guys posted. Really need to get the car out on the market so that is my main focus right now.

Had my first 1/12th race again since exactly one year. Tried some things what worked on the DB10R very good and this also worked on the DB12RR. Finally qualified on 3rd and ended on 4th position after the triple Mains.

Default some insight
My holes for the set screws in my carbon hockey sticks are striped out. Do I need to order more for use with the new conversion?

The flex plates on the new car and the conversion are different than the old ones. The conversion comes with the new flex plates.

The conversion for the 1/12th is going to be $99.99 and the 1/10th is going to be $129.99. This is to upgrade from the RR cars.

Can I upgrade from the R or will the difference be too great?
Thanks,

You can. The only added parts you will need is the offset diff hub,top c/f pod plater, and longer pod tube brace

When will the order lines be open? And will operators be standing by?

hmmm, if the conversion kit doesn't contain rear pods and hubs, then I guess what I am getting with conversion kit is a gray Copperhead..? That's fine with me as frankly I've never been a fan of copper Only one suggestion - to keep everything in one style if there are any small aluminium parts the conversion kit, perhaps you should make them in classic gray for conversion only. And about the car name... maybe something more neutral, as there will be a lot of folks running gray Copperheads which might be a bit confusing..
