I didn't know where else to post this, so if there's a better 'location', please feel free to move this thread and shoot me an email telling me where it went.
So, I have an RC10GT and I'm TRYING to find a starter box at my LHS but all they carry is OFNA stuff... it seems that the 10GT has just about gone the way of the dinosaur and no one carries parts for them anymore... so I've gone through two different OFNA boxes at my LHS employee's suggestion and neither of which have worked.. the first one was for 1/10 scale but the flywheel wasn't anywhere near the starter wheel if I didn't hold the car off the side of the box, which made the box pretty ineffective for using the standout posts for alignment....
Attempt #2 was a 1/8 scale OFNA box which left the chassis more centered and I could mount the standouts BUT the drive wheel is so large that it barely fits through the cut-out in my chassis... grrr..
I wasted a combined hour and a half "building" these damned boxes (unassembled out of the box) and 2 hours in travel time because the freakin guy behind the counter is making guesses.... *sigh*
So... if I HAVE to order an Associated Starter Box online, I will, but if anyone can help me with information of any other box that might be sold locally that will definitely work for me, I'd like to walk into my LHS armed with knowledge.
Thanks guys, love the site, it seems to be a wealth of info.
