I like the Gen X10, but it seems fragile compared to other cars i run. We use high curbs and i busted 2 front ends on left side. The walls are on right side on car so it's not about hitting hard wood but more to me running lots of curbs on corner entry and taking tight lines into corners. I run 13.5T with 2s lipo and orginal size tires with 24t pinion and 100t spur. Speed is equal to the Tamiya F1's i run it against.
But it seems my Tamiya F103 have more front grip compared to it, running Zen 38's upfront and Zen 35's rear on the F103, on the Gen X10 i run CRC WGT specs. I have the Jaco WGT specs too, not tested them yet, is there a big difference between Jaco's and CRC's?
Rear end has tons of grip and it makes for a interesting drive.
Traction compoud is Paragon Ground Effects.
How are the springs rated? Like Tamiya F103 you have Gold (soft), Silver (medium) and Black (Hard).
Is it recommended to add side dampers?
The only way for me to stop torgue steer was to smear Tamiya anti friction grease on the torpedo tubes. (Very thick and sticky grease)
After that the car tracked straight and true with no drama.
The car has alot of potensial to be a challenger on our track, but right now the Tamiya F1's blow it away on their sticky Zen tires. Those cars have almost 2 years of running at the track with lots of tracktime so i need to catch up on set up.
