that darkside is such a sweet ride, but offered as a complete kit the price is going to scare me off i fear...

that darkside is such a sweet ride, but offered as a complete kit the price is going to scare me off i fear...

yea i think it will do but we need to find away to keep the price down to see more.

I wish I could find some Long Island Pro 10 guys....

Tally, if it wasn't for me being divorced with a kid my wife and I would be moving to your neck of the woods tomorrow....

yea it tought to get the class going again but just keep looking for cheap cars and just get them out and run them if only some hot laps.

taz, that's my plan.. just run it and get some interest going..

vtl. if i'm not racing tomorrow, i may go for a hike in the national forest, take a swim under a waterfall, you know, the usual...

yea i think it will do but we need to find away to keep the price down to see more.

if it were for example based on a 10l3, i could pick up all the running gear for cheap used.. then jsut get his conversion if offered... but his other conversions alone sell for the mid upper $200.. too rich for my blood..

yea it be cheaper to get the crc car.

i mean i'd like to get the darkseide car, but if it's in the $300 plus category, that defeats the purpose of finding a cheaper alternative to touring cars.. we all complain that tourers are getting too expensive, but look how much good oval cars are.. some are more than my xray t2...

yea but you still can get an l4 for 200 someting for oval and still win but with the tc going over 300 to 400 then had hop up ever 3 months still cheeper.

We'll see what we can do with these to keep the pricing down. I want to help bring this class back, not sink it for good.

it's not like we don't appreciate the work that goes into producing these kits, but my humble opinion would be that over $300 and it becomes a little more than most of us can swallow. especially since right now in most places it's 1 guy running his car trying (hoping) someone else will think it fun and try also... if it were my primary class i'd jump in up to my wallet.. as i do with touring.. unfortuantely, touring is soaking me.. tires, batteries, parts... i'd hate to even suggest maybe even a G-10 sport version like xray is doing now? (i think g-10 is what the carbon-like material is called)

sort of a P.S. honestly i truely appreciate you effort in even producing the car at all.. i'm sure it is a huge financial and time consuming effort on your part.. i hope the class comes back too.

just checking in and see how it going in here.

taz it's slowwwwww.. i try to post to as many of these threads a i can to keep them floating...

I glanced at your post, I'm burned out racing. If I race at all next year, I think the only thing that would help is to run the 1/10 pan car. I had a blast racing the car, far less maintance.
I been trying to get some intrest in this class at our club, but the guys like the touring class.

Yes it tought to get the slowdans to get raid or their over pices sleads. But with DARKSIDE having a car out and other working on stuff it might make a great comeback.

they will all convert when you start outrunning them...

If I race it, they will come.....If I race it, they will come.

dan

just keep puting it on the track, they will follow..

The last time Pro-10 (10th scale modified pan car 6-cell) ran as a national ROAR class was at the Minnreg in Fl. From what I remember Josh Cyrul and Mike Blackstock saying is the cars were just too fast. And that was only with 11 turns. They were just to fast and you just couldn;t drive them smoothly. Even in stock they are a hand full unless they are on a big track. Somewhat the same thing as 12th stock 6-cell, it is even faster the 4-cell mod and just to hard to handle.

soooo.... will 4 cell mod work? 1/10 road classes are five minutes so they'll probably be able to run eight or nine turn motors now or somebody could make a trail link car so u can run a lipo. Maybe even a two 3200 pack lipo car with brushless system and run 45 minutes. this might be fun but I think the race should rap up in five minutes in order to catch on and be popular for national indoor events. either way i don't see a problem with the class and don't understand why it didn't adapt like any other class does today. 1/12 scale is my favorite on road class but 1/12 scales in general are twitchy and a little more difficult to drive than 1/10.

10th GTP was actually run as a demonstration class in Portland in 2003 or 2004 I believe

I might get one to try out but when the 235mm is ready

I think there is supposed to be a 235 conversion for this car released at some point. I know that BMI Motorsports is supposed to be out sometime in March and some other manufacturers have plans to release as the year progresses. I wouldn't mind seeing AE bring the 10L3T back out of mothballs for this

I dont think we will be seeing any more t-plate cars from AE since thunder tiger bought them. they have officially jumped on the design of the year band wagon with the new 1/12 car.not to mention after 20 + years of being an AE fan I have jumped ship because the qaulity of the new plastics sucks. they are about as brittle a peice of 14th century china.

But hell yeah 1/10 pan is WAY more fun than 1/10 touring. back in the day roadcours with a 10l was a blast with 6 cells/ stock motor combo. I know brushless has breathed new life into my 1/12 racing, so a 1/10 pan car with a 17.5 and 6 cells would be a riot

The RC12R5 can be a T-bar if you want it to be that way. Most go that way for outdoors.

yeah I know , but it should be in the kit, or offered as a kit in that form. not as bells and whistles add ons for increased sales.

hey Fellas,here's another thread on RCTech.Plenty of 1/10th pan links,pics,and info.

I found this yesterday, and was wondering why AE decided to build their chassis as a 4cell only car. Most of the other 10th's could be converted to Lipo. I also feel the quality of the Associated plastic has been going down hill. The cars are also heavy. They may be good for intro guys and hobbyshops as AE is available everywhere, but once you really want to start racing and and tune the car, you have to go aftermarket. I love the GTP stuff as 1/12 is the fun class now and 1/10 use to be. I liked the CRC car, and leaning that way. AE is on the way out.

I wait to i see the car and see how it runs before i say any thing.

profoform is releasing the 905b HD body.

My lipos won't fit!

My lipos won't fit!

yes we know hope the come up with something to fit lipo or better yet come out with a RC10R5w for wide car with 6 cell.

...I would bet this 200mm class would be fun w/ 4 cell and 17.5 brushless...I just hate NiMh anymore (But, I may consider trying it...) Might have to dig out my old HPI On-Road PanCar....and grab one of the NEW GT bodies.

no i think the GTP is the class that growing. Indoor they might be a good way to good.

Well gents' it appears there's alot of interest in this new "World Class GT"
aka Pro-10 class.Lots of new cars,and bodies.Protoform isn't finished making new bodies to support the class (as per website)Does anyone have any info on class specs and rules?/ is this a R.O.A.R. deal?? Thanks ahead for any info.I knew I held on to the 10 L3-Touring car for some reason.Appears it could be go time!! :thumbsup: Thanks.

Joe/SWtour,I know what 4-cells and a 17.5 do in an SK,on a roadcourse these new cars would FLY ;)

Hmmmm.........Toyota TS020,Nissan R-390, Mazda 787-B.........I'm startin to shake here............:) Oh boy

World GT/GT10 is for the 200mm cars and at the International Indoor Championships end of this summer they will be doing 4 cell/13.5. THey are running this class at the US Indoor Championships in Cleveland as well (also 4 cell/13.5 I believe).

I think that all these 200mm cars coming out can only help the 235mm class as well though. 4 cell/13.5 GT1, LiPo/21.5 GT2 and 6 cell and Lipo for 235 (I think 10.5 would be a good motor for the 235s as Lipo and anything less would be absolutely ballistic)

Here is the new class that is becoming very popular here on the west coast and other parts of the country...and this is the type of cars.
