Hi Guys,

For the moment, the people ordering RK10's are sent an e-mail asking if they want the original version with the larger chassis, or the Carpet version.

Besides the Chassis, there is zero difference between the two versions. Everything in the product line has been updated with the new Titanium Front Axles, and the new Damper Tubes/Tweak Brace/Top Plates.

Renderings are almost done, and I should have all the new part#'s listed in a day or two for all the new stuff (12th and 10th).

Have a great day.-Bruce

Is the fan blowing forward towards the motor or blowing out the back(like the fan cars).

Looks like 48p gears.

The fan blows towards the motor and I use 64P gears.

The new carpet chassis is a lot narrower in the rear. I don’t think it changed anything in handling

the angle in the side links gives more roll steer, gives you more steering mid to corner exit.

as the car enters a turn the angled side links change the angle of the rear pod and makes the rear of the car "steer" more through the middle of the corner to exit

Do you mean to imply the axle is no longer perpendicular to the chassis as its going through the turn? Just trying to follow what you have posted.
