Shock build
Can more than one clip-on be installed on the shock shaft?
The part about the o-ring I don't understand.
What o-ring?
Where is it installed on the shockshaft?
What does it do?
Do I have to install it on the shockshaft before I screw the ball end on?
Any comments on the lengthening of the shock and the spring collar?
The spring collar isn't Corally. The aluminum looking part wouldn't fit on that.
What is that part anyways? Is it some kind of stand off with a female on the shock side and mail on he ball end side?
Have been looking around, but they are all hex. Not that easy to get as it seems.
I am thinking of not bothering anymore and just go with 2S Stickpack LiPo. Imo that's where it is going with pro10 235mm in future, if and when this raceclass survives.

Here is a step by step explanation for the teflon tape.

Indeed, you should use a touringcar shock. The L2 came with an associated B4 buggy front shock. The springs work on a Tamiya TRF shock as well. I bought the associated oval/onroad spring kit which include the B4 front buggy spring; black, green and silver spring. Those are the only three springs you need.

@ Kensei or frenelum or the other name you went under at the german and dutch forum where you were banned. Indeed why bother.
@Gramm. It is a normal trf shock and piston. I only use the associated springs and they fit ok.

D ring conversion?
Hi Guys,
trying to get a couple of old RC10Ls together.
Can you file old style hubs to take D rings? I have so many sets of aftermarket hubs seems like a waste to not use them?
Is it possible to just tape in some lipo saddle packs?
I tried to contact powellracingcomponents.com for max 10 details with no reply, do they still make them?
thanks Spence

This is what I have so far.
Old 10L chassis, dynamic strut front, L2 post brace, litespeed/motormount heat sink, I think a composite craft rear brace...
I just got a high downforce Peugeot body and some Jaco foams. I remember back in the day we would true them down to about 1mm of foam! I don't have a truer though so will run them the stock height for now.
It's very similar to the car I raced in '92, I haven't driven one since then either! trying to get up to speed with all this new brushless stuff I used to run a 13x4 mainly. I will be using my old Futaba 3PB though!

a few months ago i bought a second hand car and the previous owner filed the diff hub to take D-rings so it is possible to do that.
Nontheless i replaced it with an IRS axle and hubs. (i still had IRS hubs laying around) They are more precise and the spur is run with a bearing instead of putting the spur on the aluminium piece of the old axle.
Powell RC stopt making parts from end of last year. I too had orderd a max10 as a spare chassis but got a full refund.
That aftermarket chassis brace looks pretty sturdy going a little bit along the chassis. Maybe an idea for a DIY project for my L2. This year a saddlepack split in two parts when my car was rammed in the side.
For outdoors there is no need to true the tires down that much. I run the tires almost straight out of the package. I skim 1mm off the tires as it is the biggest i can fit under a peugeot body. So i start with 61mm.

Thanks a lot 2wdrive and ses414.
OK great, back in 92 there was a team associated sponsored racer over here, I can't remember his name but he was very fast, one thing I noticed was how low he ran his tires they almost looked like they were on the rim and it was on asphalt. Anyway thanks again!

In '92 With nicad cells and modified motors it could be an advantage to run very small tires as runtime was an issue. With small tires rotating mass would be less.
Now fast forward with brushless and big mAh lipo's there is no problem in outdoor applications and the difference between big and small tires is not so big imo.

That explains the tires, thanks.
Amongst my pan car parts collection, I found this, it is the same width as a wide 10L hub but seems to have a groove machined in it, comparing it to the IRS hub on their site it's similar but not the same, will this work with an IRS D drive shaft and d drive rings? Sorry about all the questions.

Looks like it will. When racing out of production cars, the method to use is Try it and See!!

Looks like a D-drive hub indeed. From the picture I'd say it is an (old) IRS hub but like Lonny said, just try it...
