Can you add a World GT Class?

[Raffell]

World GT class - 4 Cars will make a class


The new Factory Team RC10R5 is Team Associated’s entry into the fast-growing 1:10 scale World GT onroad racing class. With Team Associated’s twenty-five years of 1:12 and 1:10 scale onroad racing history, we are very excited to offer the Factory Team RC10R5 to this new emerging class!

Starting with the highly successful RC12R5 platform, the designers in Area-51 built the bigger RC10R5 on a 2.5mm woven carbon fiber chassis that utilizes a pivot-ball link rear suspension that allows for independent adjustments for chassis roll, bump and alignment. Having the ability to make these chassis adjustments independently gives the RC10R5 greater potential to get the best possible handling from the car and the track surface. While testing, the pivot ball-link chassis has proven to be more durable in high speed impacts and much better in bumpy track conditions.

The RC10R5 features new shocks that have a through-shaft design, making for equalized damping throughout the full stroke of the shock in both directions, without any unwanted rebound. The center shock tower has four mounting positions that split the spring rates for even finer adjustments. The new center shock also controls the chassis droop and can be adjusted on the car with a turnbuckle wrench, making it easier and quicker to get dialed in.

The RC10R5’s "Active Strut" front end has been optimized, featuring symmetric components with adjustable caster and track width, as well as a new front axle with wheel nut. Factory Team blue aluminum servo mounts position the servo flat on the chassis for a lower center of gravity and include Ackermann adjustment spacers. The foam front bumper helps protect body and chassis
during impacts.

So we are going to keep using that Cheap kitchen scale huh?

That thing is whack!

[Randy Caster]

Just make your car 15 grams heavy and you'll be set!

[m8commando]

Raff-

Will there be "Controlled Tires" at the Summa Slam?

[Raffell]

M8commando - the scale you use in the bathroom to measure the amount of love you carry doesn't work on an r/c car. And it's funny that everyone else seems to make weight but at EVERY TROPHY RACE, you can't get through tech. (CHEATER!)

I know it must be my scale. . .

No controlled tires for the Summer Slamm 2008, so bring what ever you fell will put you on the podium.

LOL

[Randy Caster]

Just a suggestion that I think might make everyone happier... Tech the cars before they race, not after... Then it gives the driver minute to get their car up to weight should they need it.

[Raffell]

Randy - Good suggestion, but what do i do when the guy is in the pits for 5 minutes and the rest of the guys are waiting on him. Should I just stand by the scale?

BEEP!!!!!!!!!
