    Can’t wait to see that Baja pro X video! Those tires look like they can eat! I just hope you throw some different foams in for comparison, see what they can really do! Let’s be honest, stock foams usually only give maybe 80% of the tires potential, and I hear they’re particularly important in the bajas

    Watching the video I cringed HARD when you started talking about cutting bits of the chassis away… but then I remembered the way I used to drill out RC10 chassis back in the 90’s when they were all aluminum tub chassis… I swear they’d look like Swiss cheese!

    • @RoadsideRC

      You are right!
      The fact that a whole new chassis is really cheap - helped make me brave.

    i had a dr10 with a full carbon chassis for the drags. expensive tho but an option

    • @RoadsideRC

      Nice! The drag chassis are typically flat with no front kick-up for suspension. Did your's have that?

    Thanks for the vid, yeah love how parts fit between the DR10 and even the RB10, the V2 shocks make for a good shock upgrade

    Do you have any suggestions as to what driveshaft upgrades are available for the this truck? I keep sheering mine right off. Thanks

      That is very interesting - I have literally never heard of someone breaking them.
      Where are you breaking them? Back on the diff side, or out by the wheel?
      I adjusted my rear camber - which does allow my driveshaft to pop-out of the diff cups occasionally. I wonder if yours is getting wedged and that is why it is breaking?
      With these steel shafts, breakage shouldn't be an issue. I would check into what is causing the breakage.

      @RoadsideRC that's the same thing that I thought as far as it getting wedged. But I've also broke one closer to the carrier as well. So I've broken 3 by the out drive and 1 by the carrier so far. I just would like a stronger option. Is the Dr10 upgraded drive shafts compatible? I found some steel ones on eBay

    I took some inspiration from this vid but went a slightly different route. I went with a shorty pack and took the foam out up front and moved the esc and receiver (out of the cover) in the middle to keep the weight centered and low. Upped to a 23 pinion, rebuilt shocks with traxxas seals and 32.5k in front, removed servo saver, and put 7k diff fluid. Ran proline holeshots at chickasaw track. I think the truck did ok... I'm terrible but the truck did ok lol.

    How's the weight distribution now? Isn't it terribly heavy in the back?

    • @RoadsideRC

      It did not change it enough to have an issue.

    Hey so totally unrelated question based on the topic of the video but … how is that building set up to ventilate nitro cars or is it an issue? With a full race going what’s the noise level like?

    • @RoadsideRC
      @RoadsideRC  6 місяців тому +1

      It has big doors open on the end + open windows.
      Even with a full class of nitro running, never really noticed a fume build up or issue.

    What i did with mine was peel up the foam in the battery tray and glue it back down in the back, shifts the weight of the battery forward and it gave me a little extra steering. I also have some extra foam to stuff a shorty pack in the front for even less weight! Oh, the weakest part of the chassis is the narrow part right in front of the servo...ask me how i know lol.

      Two cheaper RC options are sitting on the workbench right now - more of that to come!
      Yes, the speed runs shenanigans was fun, but didn't really end up being what excited me the most.
