I often run up to 9mm outdoors. 8mm will work just fine

The Xray wasn't designed for those big tires but them low cut indoor tires
If you want your Xray to get low enough, make yourself some ride height shims as used on the front and put them between your lower podplate and your motorbulkheads.

Starting point for my Pro10 project, a used Vorlon chassis with Corally axle. It's a very nice piece of kit, especially the slider rear pod. You can get down to 4mm ride-height with new (62mm) tyres.

It needs shocks and a front-end to complete it. I already have spare side-shocks from my F1 project. Will purchase a Tamiya main damper, and an AE dynamic-strut front end.

First step is a complete strip-down, clean and rebuild

You bought the kit that was on facebook?
Good choice.
Very strong car.

Yeah it was Tobias' old car, figured it'd be pretty good given he makes them

Usually with second-hand cars there's a load of bent bits, stripped screws and problems to sort out, but this was spot on.

Actual AE, or a Xenon front end kit?

They make this rather interesting kit with small tube dampers, might be good for a Pro10: http://xenon.ocnk.net/product/495

Hiya folks,

I've recently resurrected my trusty old rc10l with a Roche p10w rear axle and a associated reactive castor front end. Is there any way I can modify the rear pod top plate and add a something to turn it into a three shock(plus t-bar) setup?

Look at the old RC10L3 & RC10L4, it ran three shocks on the rear. Although keep in mind its a narrow pod car (200mm) vs RC10L (wide Pod)

Chassis... I would like to know the direction Tobias decided to take before I start to design my own chassis...

Standard AE, mainly as parts are cheap and easy to find.

The damper tubes seem like a nice idea, but I guess you still need to lube the kingpins to keep the suspension smooth, so I'm not sure if you gain much.

The Yokomo YRX12 looks interesting with a double-arm setup, as that shouldn't need kingpin lube. But the parts are expensive.

The plastic-on-metal of the kingpins seem smooth enough, adding lube to that area is a big dirt attractor, so I was thinking it could be run "dry", with the damper tubes?

The Yokomo YRX12 front end does look interesting, but I agree, even more expensive, as well as more difficult to get (I find the Xenon parts to be "normally priced", and with decent availability in the UK, but the AE parts are probably just as good too).

You could do something like this if you can find the bottom and top pod plate.

what would you use for springs or do you use the stock sprins?

pphaneuf

I don't have that Xenon front end, to be clear.

I'd think you use normal springs, on the kingpin, but the separate damper tubes should provide more consistent damping, compared to just smudging the kingpin?
