How much carry-over will there be from the old to new car - just the pod? or the pod plate / shock mount plate as well?

Alot of parts will carry over. The axle, the long standoffs,maybe even the front end. The bearings are the same,the pods, the pod top brace. I will make a full list and also come up with a price for the conversion kit. I am going to keep the conversion cheap as i dont want it to be hard or expensive for existing customers to convert.

Don't forget to include a conversion list or kit coming from the R.

Yep, just follow these guys to the promised land! I switched to the CF flexplates as soon as they came out. Then, followed some setup advice from Showtime (which is very similar to the setup listed by Mr. Butter on this page). The car flat out rips. The local guys are like, ahh, hey man, what the H E double fiberglass hockeysticks dude, how'd your car get so fast? Just tell'em you used Butter and it's Showtime!
Thanks guys (Showtime & Butter) for helping the rest of us along!

I will have a much better idea on the release of the new 1/12th and 1/10th car in a couple weeks. I will keep all of you posted so dont worry. I am going through the costs now to make sure i can keep the price the same. So far, it is looking good. The front end is the question at this point. Once i get the pricing on that i will decide if it is going to be able to be sold with the car kit or as an option part. It is hard at this time as the market of 1/12th seems to be going towards lower quality and less expensive. I dont want to take that route. I want to keep increasing quality and try to keep the same price. The market is getting tough and it gets hard to compete against cars that do away with nice machined aluminum parts and replace them with all cheap molded parts. I want to keep the strength and accuracy of the machined aluminum parts.

I'm really looking forward to it...sure hope I can get foamies to work at our new track. As you can see in the 1/12th forum I'm having a hard time getting traction even with pinks.

BTW, will the new GT chassis also support the same battery options as before or just the 1S Lipo? We are all running 2S saddle packs around here.

Some other including me also are running 2S Lipo stick pack.
Thatīs one of the reasons I asked what will change on the new DB10R.

xtrememadness- The prototype chassis I tested at the Birds is SLIGHTLY different. Keep in mind NO FINAL decisions have been made as to the final product. We will still be testing various items on the car in order to provide the best possible combination to afford the racers the best handling 12th scale possible.
V12 and Uga- The WGT car I ran at the Birds had different rear suspension geometry. The new WGT will certainly have the new suspension for the rear plus a few changes to the chassis and layout. I don't think I can divulge anymore info, so I'll defer to Jason.
