Hiya folks,
I love my 235 pan cars:
Yokomo yr10
Ae rc10L
Roche 10w (1st gen)
Corally something (not sure what)
I've been driving the rc10L and roche and am wondering if the old vintage style bodyshells work as well as the new fangled modern shells? I've added taller side dams to my old Peugeot shell and others and it seems ok, but there is no competition here in Singapore, so no real data on bodyshells...

We had a racer last week with the CRC car (Queen City) and it had the hub extensions instead of a true 235 rear pod and axel. Take a look at Sidepieceracing.com, they sell the Fenix cars and have a couple of options for the Pro10 with a gear diff for outside. Their older kit is only $250 and the newer one is $405.
I'm Currently running a 22 X10 stock at 200mm, but I think the Fenix is going to be my next purchase. The wider cars look a lot easier to drive on our large track and can carry the corner speed were we are kinda over driving in the corners to keep up.

Anybody use this with a mod motor?
Thank you.

Here's how it goes: install diff ring on axle, be sure it sits flush with disc on axle. Insert diff balls in gear. I usually lube the balls first, but that is a personal preference. Place a ball bearing in the gear's center hole, I use an unflanged bearing here, but again personal preference. Lube the diff ring with your diff lube, lots of choices here, I use a high pressure grease that I can't find anymore, not sure what I'll change to when I run out. Slide the gear on the axle. Be careful not to get grease on the threaded part of the axle. Install a flanged bearing in your diff hub. Now install the remaining diff ring on your hub, a dab of grease on the back side will help stick it to the hub and make it easier to assemble. Again be sure the ring sits flush against the face of the hub. Lube this ring. Slide the hub on the axle. Install a flanged bearing in the outer hub opening. Now, if you press the hub lightly into the gear while holding the axle, it should turn smoothly with just a slight resistance from the diff lube. The next step can vary. Most people use the diff cone, the tapered spacer, next. Place it on the axle with the small end against the hub bearing. Place one or two bellevue, or cupped, washers in the large end of the diff cone, cupped side in. Thread the nut onto the axle and tighten until all the play is removed. Rotate again to be sure it is still smooth. If not try replacing the bearing in the outside of the hub. Put the axle in the car. Place the left hub, usually a clamping hub to keep from damaging the axle, on the end of the axle. Install tires on both sides. Measure from the chassis centerline to the outside of the right or diffside tire. Now measure the same distance on the left side. They should be equal. If not add spacers to the shorter side to make them equal. Now measure from the outside of one tire to the outside of the other. This is normally 235mm. Add spacers equally to both sides until it is. Narrowing the rear track from 235mm is a fine tuning tool for handling, but most people go as wide as possible. Now hold a tire in each hand and try to turn the gear. Gradually tighten the diff nut until you can no longer turn the gear with your thumb. You're ready to test it on the track. Slightly tightening or loosening the diff is also a tuning tool, but these adjustments should be small. If you skip down to page 18 of this PDF there are pictures of this assembly starting with step 55.

To answer some questions here on the previous cpl pages, on my pro10 I run bsr blue fronts and double x rear pinks I'm thinking. I'd have to double check that. Gearing for 2s 17.5 punisher motor I'm running Robinson 100t and a 24-26t pinion. You do the math for gearing. Lol

Would need to know your tire diameter. It's rollout that counts, not just ratio.
