Has anyone tried to run an RC10 Dual Sport on a dirt oval and what changes have you made?



Thanks Joe

:thumbsup: Joe,

I have run a Nitro DS at the Mansfield 42 Speedway. It is an outdoor, highly banked, clay track. I ran the 2004 Nitro Tour Race there and made the 'A' Main with the car. ( I believe it was more the car, than me, that got me there!) It was basically stock, I even ran the stock DS foams on the rear of the car with CW fronts. The car was very stable, but I think it will benefit from some aftermarket A-arms, to widen it out. Mansfield keeps their track really smooth, so I don't know what the car will do on a bumpy track, or one with less clay content. AE made a great car, in my opinion, in the DS's. They have alot of adjustments, are pretty durable, and pretty darn cheap! Hope this may help. Keep the DS's alive!

:cool: Dale

Thanks Dale.
Ive got the car just sitting around so im going to put a wedge body on it and give it a try. Im even going to try to run the Proline Road Hogs that came with the car.

I just bought one I hope to make it a dirt oval rqacer if we ever get a track here. When I used to race I used a RC10 Ce with short shocks all around and a stealth tranny and replaced the shock towers with fiberglass to get a lower position. Dual sport seems to be about the same.

Good luck with yours Clifford. I just got some old ANDY'S oval body mounts off Ebay so I can mount the Haggerstown late model body. I cant see no reason why the car wont work on dirt.

back in the day i used to run an rc10 with the lowering arm kits by McAllister.. then low and behold.. i saw the DS.. pretty much same thing kinda :)

i used to run the RC10 on a bumpy track hard dirt (was called Ascot RC Raceway in Gardena...) located next door to the big Ascot Raceway. Ran both a wedge body and a JG truck body.. and it did pretty good.

if I only knew more about tuning that I do now, then I did back then...

hmm.. so.. i guess it could work =)
