There's the Mon-Tech MF-10 (https://www.mon-techracing.net/prodotti/mf-10-asphalt/). There used to be some MIX-RC bodies, the company no longer exists, but you might still see some stocks left in...

Yeah, similar situation where I used to run back then.



With modern LiPo electrics, dumping isn't a problem, and it's pretty fun to run for a long time (more racing!), but you really have to...

The track at my local club is only 16x10m (52x33 feet), and I do all right, considering how I'm not that great of a driver, and other club members get A-main podiums at national races (in touring...

I find even the "restricted" 13.5T blinky 2S to be quite fun indoor, more so than 1/12. When they ran them at Snowbirds, even so restricted, they were only 2nd to modified 1/12 (even modified touring...

This is a Nissan body from MIX-RC, originally by a company called Pole Position, I believe, but fairly similar to the old Associated Nissan, just a few tweaks here and there. The Swift-235 is a bit...

Almost 30 years, even, the RC10L SS (Super Speedway) came out in 1990! It was about 200mm wide, as I recall, but maybe not exactly?

They were a bit slower, weren't they? I distinctly remember 1/12 mod being the fastest class, but Pro10 was definitely right there behind them.

I'm not saying 17.5T is slow, or anything like that,...

For club racing, I've gone with up to 55mm in tire diameter, it's not as sharp, but it's all right. This was with an XRay X10, the main problem was getting the ride height low enough with the bigger...

That does seem to be the most common, especially with the slower "stock" classes, as they're more likely to be able to run shorties (or even 200mm cars, in some cases), I expect.

For those running...

It depends where in the world, it goes from 1025g to 1200g, and some don't even have a minimum weight:

I do use turbo, myself, but only a very small amount, with a minimum RPM, to make sure it only kicks in on the straight. I set it up to get it smooth and strong on the infield with boost only, turbo...

The explanation is that the Swift-235 was designed for carpet racing, and they want "pointy" front ends, for faster direction changes. It fits fine on a first generation Roche P10W (which was also...

Are you intending on basing it off some other car (making a conversion, as it were)? Or at the most just get some bits and bobs, like pod bulkheads and stand-offs?
