well it didn’t take long for me to decide to rebuild the 10l. here is a list of problems it had going on.

• wiring was a nasty mess
• car was filthy
• zero oil in shock
• screws falling out
• setup for low center of gravity
• diff was gritty

i completely disassembled the car and scrubbed it down completely. after all the parts were clean i done any trimming that was needed to get rid of the molding breaks. then the parts got a pink die job.  the car was reassembled. shock rebuilt. diff cleaned and lubed. all alloy parts polished lightly. motor cleaned and oiled. all electronics cleaned and reinstalled. wiring cleanly set up. changed out the 24 tooth pinion gear for a 17 tooth. built a 5 cell battery in a 3×2 saddle pack for the car. maxed out the ride height since the car will be driven on the street for added ground clearance. (remember this car is not going to be raced) the  5 cell battery and 17 tooth pinion gear should slow the car down a decent amount which was my goal. the car needs to be slow enough to be able to be controlled with ease since its a trainer for my 4 year old.

well here’s the pics so enjoy.

well i picked this thing up on ebay for a damn good price. i bought  this as a trainer for my son. he is only four years old but its never too early to start. but don’t think for a second i wont be playing with it as much as possible though lol.

here are the pics of the car right after i took it out of the box. its in desperate need of a little tlc.

just came in the mail! these were a very limited production run and are no longer being made. but for the lucky few that have them a full line of replacement parts can be made to order so there is no fear  on not being able to replace a broken part.

from what i have read there are only 2 atomic carbon s2′s in the usa. i bought one of the ones that was already over here. i doubt i will see any others while club racing. lol

i forgot to take a pic of the transmission case and rear shock tower. i will get a good pic of them before i start my conversion later on for everyone. anyway here are the pics.
