Default Ofna JL-10 E

So...

What's the word on the Ofna JL-10 E?

Anybody know about them? Run one? Setups?

I'm running one in RCGT. Front springs white shock oil 60. Rear springs red shock oil 40. 1 degree camber front 1.5 camber rear. Leave rear toe at factory setting, front 1 degree.

Hope this helps

There is a video radio kinda thing being broad cast here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/OFNA-Live

This gives some real good info on this car. It actually looks like a really fun and inexpensive car that could draw in new people. The price is around only $120usd and it looks a heck of a lot better than that junker TT-01E from Tamiya.

That is certainly helpful. Thank you. What gearing are you running cuz I have no top end at all with stock gearing and the I got a 69 Spur and a 34 Pinion and was still losing about 1/2 seconds on the straight. I would get pulled on the straight by everyone. Should I convert it to 64 pitch gearing?

What does this car look like? I can't find a picture of it on OFNA's site or in Google, nor in Bing.

I am. I will have to try to get those gears and give it a shot. The stock gearing was SO SLOW that I could not stop laughing. I wonder why they do that. But anyway yes I race at West Coast. Do you?

Right on! I will see if I can make it out there on Saturday. I am going to need all of the setup help I can get. I am new to Onroad, Wednesday night was my first time ever running an onroad car. I seemed to do alright in driving but had no "go-go" on the straight. I am going to try the gearing suggested earlier and see how that goes.

See you Saturday, hopefully.
