Greetings Pro10noob. Thank you for the pics. I've gotta get out more to run my pan cars-there's so much real estate on my rc10L's and the BL systems drop right in to those wide pods.Thanks again Pro10noob.

@!Oreo.... It is a prototype car with T-bar setup.
Front is Asso, rear is IRS with indeed a wide pod
Car runs perfect and is very easy to drive.
Check my photo album for more pic's and pic's from the older car

Anyone know how to resolve a RC10L2 from spinning out on power? Its not after immediate power input but it just gets to a point where the car can not support the power and spins out. 10.5 boosted on asphalt. Im used to a car that feels glued to the track and this just feels very floaty and sketchy on power. I have turned the speedo punch down to 80% and added Neg expo on the throttle curve of the radio.

.20 front spring
Jaco Purple front and White rear. Half the front sauced and full rear.
Ride height is 5mm forward and back.
Silver Center Spring w/ 30wt oil.

I ran a RC10L2 back in the early 2000's with 19t motors and never had an issue. I'm not sure what the problem is. Tweak is spot on as well. Battery position was tried forward and back. Back was better. I never really liked the "natural rubbers" on asphalt so I may try Green. I used to have success with that as a rear tire. But its firmer and seems to be opposite of what people are running with Lipo batteries. The local club runs 1s 10.5 boosted so I have two packs strapped in and only plug in one at a time.

Thanks for any input,

Roger

Try a softer centerspring. The centerspring directly has influence on the on- and off-power steering.
The rest seems fine although I don't understand the white rear tires on asphalt.

Over here we also drive 10.5 boosted on 2S. Front springs and Purple fronts sound okay but most of us here drive DoublePink (35-36 shore) in the rear.

RAL, so out of the corner it doesn't spin out, it spins out later? At what point does it start to spin out?

Most are running link cars. Some are BMI with their fiberglass blade type link. White is what they are all using in the rear. I also tried a black center spring (softer) and it still spun out it just had less steering.

On power corner exit the rear breaks loose. Also does not feel stable off power in corner entry (the rear will snap loose). I think I may need to try a different rear tire. Rear wheels are also equal distance from the center-line of the car. Rear track width is about 231mm. Pod is level. What diameter circle are you guys generally using for EPA adjustment?
