The AE RC10R5 can probably be easily modified for a lipo by moving the center shock mount to the left. The rear shock will still be centered if it is installed on the other side of the plate. This gives enough room for the battery as seen in white in the photo. You can see the original holes on the edge of the battery layout. Two holes will need to be drilled 9 mm to the left. This leaves enough room on the left for the electronics but may not balance out perfectly. Our local club allows lipo in 1/10 pan car on a medium size asphalt track.

Interesting.

The build went well. The front end is much smoother after polishing the kingpin and trimming the upper a-arm eyelet slightly. I now have full motion without binding. The rear suspension is very smooth with little play. Hard to adjust the center pivot though. Track testing soon. I changed the rear spring retainers to the steel CRC ones (drilled and tapped for 3 mm) since I seen another car where the plastic ones were all twisted.

What is "Active Castor"? Does it behave like normal Castor?

Reduces castor angle as the suspension compresses.

So reducing the Active Castor would increase the initial turn?

Once the suspension is compressed after settling into the turn it will make it turn harder and feel more darty. Initial it wolnt change much. But it will make it turn harder overall.

hi guys I need help? What type of servo do I need for the rc10r5 and brand? And does hitec make one that will fit? Any team drivers help would be great?

Futaba 9650 fits and works great. You can technically use any servo you'd like, but not all will fit in the servo mounts without drilling your own holes. You can also shoe-goo it down of course as well.
