3Likes1/10th pan car

Ok just went to crc site and looked up the info and this is what I found.
The wide front end plates included in the Gen-X 10 Expansion Kit feature two sets of front end holes. The inner set is for most of the popular 1/10 pan car GTP bodies that taper in at the front such as the 905B from Protoform. The outer set is for wider "nitro car" bodies such as the 235mm Lola from Parma. The wide front end plates also have multiple sets of holes for track width and wheel base adjustment, similar to the adjustments on the stock plates.
Now would that body be similiar to the parma lola?

Unfortunately not. The referenced Parma Lola is the 1/10th scale lola, not the 1/8th scale.
I wonder how long the Parma 1/10th Lola will remain in production, because the 1/10th 235mm Nitro class is completely dead.

Ok so I get up early this morning and excited to run this new setup. I show up to Crystal Park Raceway and track is being redone and so no go
So quick thinking, I head on out to Bending Corners a bit smaller track but don't want to waste my day and still want to run. Here is a short video of Raffell running it while I took a short video. It was a race Saturday and was able to practice between heats so had fun.

Not sure what other hobbies everyone has on this thread but I wanted to share my other hobbies. I collect 1:64 diecast cars from Hot Wheels, Greenlight, JL and matchbox. But that is not really why I want to share this. The Grand AM season is fastly approacing us there will be a release of a 1:64 scale models from Greenlight. Very exciting and wanted to share in case someone might be interested in picking up a set, I know I will. Ok back to rc talk

espresso1967, what is your complete set-up on the car? i.e. tires, springs, caster, camber, shock oil, tire sauce, etc.
It looked liked it was loose in a few turns.

toe 0
camber -2
caster 5
stock oil that came with kit
jaco pink rear purple fronts
green front springs
white rear
It was loose for a bit but once I ran some laps and got the tires warmed up it seemed a lot better but still it did get loose on a couple of times. Though the first time around when I used Jack The Gripper it was right on, but as the tire sauce wore out it started to get loose. Still learning and playing with the setup. If any tips, help from the pros would be greatly appreciated. The differential was loose according the the guy running it and tighten it up a bit after the video run.

Try this:
toe: -1
camber: -2
reactive chamber: 10
shock oil: 30wt. and #2 piston
shock spring: gold (associated)
front spring: .020 (associated)
tires f/r: pink/white or green/green or green/white
If allowed use Trinity ZipGrip2 for sauce.
What grease are you using in the side rods?

I am using the stock grease for side rods which is very thick as it takes a bit to squeeze it out of bottle.
The tires you mention, are they Jaco's if not what is the equivalent of Jaco? I will be breaking down the kit this week as I have been running it in 200mm stock since the summer and want to check the chassis to make sure it still is straight and make some minor modifications before my next test run.
I won't be hitting a bigger track until after new year's when Crystal Park finishes up the new track layout.

And remember to check your tweak. Add those side dahms to the body if you haven't already.

Thanks for the info. Tweak was good and well balanced car. So just need minor modifications and some practice driving the car.

How much traction compound did you use front and rear?
If the car spins out here are a few things you can try:
1. Use side dams on the Peugeot 905B HD body.
2. Apply traction compound to a smaller area on the front tires, jut a ring on the inside of the front tires. Make sure it sits for at least 10 minutes before you wipe it off.
3. Go easy on the throttle coming out of corners. A rear weal drive car can't be driven like a 4wd sedan.
4. Let the rear pod sag a little. (adjust center shock preload)
5. Use thicker damper tube fluid. (sorry to oppose you Toaddy). This makes the handling more forgiving and takes away some steering.
6. Put the receiver on the opposite side of the chassis so you need less lead to balance it. Place all weight as far back as possible.

The side dams and thr traction compound are the biggest things to try.
For traction compound put Paragon Ground FX on the whole rear tires and the inside 1/3 of the front. Lit it sit for 10 min then apply some runny SPF 30-45 suntan lotion over the same areas. Let that sit for another 15 min then wipe it off vigorusly. Its ok if the tires are a litte slimey they will still hook up.
This has been the standard way of applying traction compound for foam tires on asphalt for the last 20 years. We have all tried diffrent stuff but this method is still best.
FYI, this is not just me saying this. At the IFMAR On Road Worlds in Kissimee FL Josh Cyruls bottle of Target brand SPF 45 was seen in Masami's, Blackstock's, Lufaso's, Baker's and everyone else pit getting squirted onto tires.
