Hey folks
Had one of these lying around on my shelf for ages. I want to try this out on asphalt and don't want to put it on the track with my Montech m10 body so I bought a Blitz 200mm nitro VDS style body for it and noticed it's much narrower. Measured things up and seems the outer edges of my wheels actually 190mm not 200mm. Have I missed something here? Thought the car was 200mm

This car will take a "normal size" 2S battery pack (similar to those used in touring cars)? I'm sure the 235mm version will, but the 200mm as well?
Also, do you have to unscrew the front shock brace to get the battery out? Not sure about that, but might be better than tape, in some ways...
Is there a 2016 (2017?) version coming? I'm kind of interested, but Zen-Racing, the UK distributor, is out of stock, which at this time of year sometimes means there might be a new version...

Oh, another question: the pod bulkheads, are they common parts with the P12? This is a problem with my Xray X10'16, it's very hard to get the ride height to be low enough without truing the tires to death. 54mm is the biggest possible tire diameter, and only gets me down to 5mm (I'd prefer 4mm!). I see other racers with old Associated 10R5.1 cars running 56mm tires and 4mm ride height...
I'm being a bit let down by the second-rate support the X10 is getting from Xray. Tt's not a bad car, but it mainly gets components from the X12 part bins, like those bulkheads, and it has some weaknesses that just don't get much attention from the Xray folks (sloppy front end, which has a non-standard hole distance, so it cannot be replaced with a Xenon one, for example), it seems. The specially designed steering rack, and a 235mm car being worked on seems to indicate that these are getting the attention they deserve! So, it's interesting...
Thanks in advance!

Must need to unscrew
Don't know about a new version... I think the p10w must release first

Is there a foam bumper that fits the P10 well? Not sure if I'm confident enough in my driving to go without...

They're not going to let me run a P10W at the BRCA Nationals!

Some updates to the general car, looks good! I like the look of the Volante F1 wheels, very nice.

Suggested servo to drop-in the P10? I was going to use a Spektrum A5040 I had lying around doing nothing, which as I recall is a pretty standard 1/12th scale-sized servo. The narrow set of mounting holes on the chassis is quite a bit wider than this servo.
