I like the fastest servo possible. I spent all this money on ridiculosly fast frame rate radios/Receivers I want the servo to react as fast.

Jason has had a change in his school schedule so that means I have an open seat in my car to go race Carpet on the 23rd – all you have to do is be able to make it my house in Cypress sometime before noon. PM me if interested.

I aquired a used Trinity Switchblade 10. It's not in the best of shapes, but seems salvageable. Anyone got the manual for this car? Setup tips perhaps? I really like te car's concept. I'm eager to see how fast I can get around the corners.

you tossed the standard shocks? how do you attach a vcs macro shock in centre?
do you have a partnumber for the front lower suspension arms and balls? mine look like they have some play.

Default 1/12 tires

Hey Guys, I won some tires from PChobbies on Ebay. They shipped
me a box full of 12 scale tires. It don't match the discription as on Ebay.
PChobbies said they will give me a refund. Before I send them back.
Richard

Update: sent back

xxxkat - I just noticed your track's website says, "Friday night racing is on hold until the fog season lifts" - should we be postponing our trip up there this week? I really don't want to get "fogged in" on Xmas weekend - I've heard about how bad it can get in Central CA...

Yes, the standard/delta shocks have been tossed. They were way too inconsistent and they leaked. The VCS shock improved the feel of the SB10.

Part# SB5020 Lower Suspension Arms
Part# SB5020L Lower Suspension Arms (Lower Roll Center)
Part# SB5022 Upper/Lower Suspension Arm Ball

Some of the parts for the SB10 are the same as the SB12 and SB10 Oval cars.
There are also a few Assoc. parts that will work.

On a interesting note. The original Assoc. 10L front blocks (not the 10L2 dynamic strut front end.) will work on this car.
