I think AE made a mistake. The p/n might be ASC8316 which is the 10L2O dampener plate which looks the same as the one I need.
Any ideas?

Found ASC8316 which is for the 10L2O but it looks exactly the same as the one in the L3 manual designated 8315. Any ideas?

Justinian,,Took the I Force out sunday and had a blast. Great car, I ran with the nitro tc's, I was using 4cells and a 19t motor. In the heats, I was getting the "new car bugs" out of it. In the main there were 6 cars, with me lined up at the back. 6 minutes later I was 2 laps ahead at the flag... I loved it, Several guys were talking like they might be interested in getting them too.. Maybe they will and we can have our own class. Later,

Yes I do race gas touring as well. Sometimes I wonder why, but I do!!

The Hot Bodies Toyota has more steering and more overall downforce than the Hot Bodies Porsche.

Will all increase steering if that what’s you mean by “front load.”
It’s generally very easy to add steering to these cars mechanically instead of aerodynamically. By the time you’re down to green fronts and .018 springs, if you still have a push, you probably have enough grip overall to then start loosening up (i.e. stiffening) the rear of the car. If you’re down to green fronts and .018’s and you have a push and not enough rear bite, then the push is probably going to be good as it’ll keep the car from spinning in what is then assumed to be a very-low bite environment.

Someone remembers the BBR Lotec body from the very old days? Very wide body even wider than the Andys Nissan with the large integrated sidedams like the Bolink Toj. I think was high steering type.

Pro10 is right on the Porsche...I've still seen the Toyota's listed for sale every now and then, never the Porsche anymore though.
All the BBR bodies I saw tended to be very large physically, high downforce ones.
To add some others to the list...
Andy's Sauber - high steering/low-ish downforce - very similar to the 905B. You used to be able to get those via Pegasus Hobbies in Montclair, CA still FWIW (Andy sold out to the Evil "T" a few years ago but started making what he kept the molds for on the side for that store) but I dunno if that holds true today.
Bolink WSC body (as featured in TOADDY's avatar) - high downforce - you can still find them NIB on Ebay every so often.

The Andy's Sauber is still available through Corally Germany.
I have some used ones. I really like the balance of them!

So you change the mechanical parameters. I was guessing some tricks like adding some front spoiler or so.
Was speaking about load due to the air pressure and the body shape on the front end!

Oval Video
Hay all you turn left fans. If you want to see some oval action from Twin Bridges, go to the web site and watch the Video we put together. It's kinda cool and we had fun doing it.
www.twinbridgesrc.com , go to the picture section. It is best seen with a high speed connection.
Later all

Ok guys, One of my goals was to clean out the RC Closet and make room for my carpet stuff for the season. In the depths, I found many new 235 bodies that I thought I had, but have not seen for the past 4-5 years. Give me your impressions on the following:
Bolink - Riley & Scott WSC
Bolink - TOJ
Dahms - Jaguar XJ9
Andys - 962 Porsche GTP
Andys - Nissan GTP
MRP - Lamborginie
Bolink - Olds Areo Tech
I also found 235 Nascar, 1/10 off road, 1/10 Indy Cars, 1/10 and 1/12 Sprint Cars and some 1/8 gas on-road stuff as well. Amazing what stuff you just GOTTA HAVE!!
Anyway - gave a new PewJo to my body guy and we talked about the other bodies.
Thanks for the input.

Rinkrat has been there and will confirm. In the late 80's early 90's had an RC track and hobby shop. Indoor carpet banked oval and road coarse 50' x 100', Outside dirt oval and off road 90' x 180' and ran pavement races in parking lots 120' x 230' for 1/10 pan cars as well as 1/8 scale gas.
Some stuff is still from the hobby shop!!
