Is anyone running a 4cell nimh/10.5t Associated 12R5? if so,
What sort of setup are you using on asphalt tracks? We have a medium grip/bumpy outdoor track. I'm running soft centre spring and stock silver side and front springs, oils as per the kit instructions. slight toe out and about -1 degree camber. I'm not sure what to run as far as shock oils goes and have no idea what to run as far as caster/reactive caster go, i just built as per kit manual. currently i have jacop magenta fronts and parma black rears with a HB C12 mark 2 body and a parma speed 12 body. i want to get some double pink fronts to try. All our stuff has to be shipped as local shops dont do 1/12 stuff
traction compound was sunscreen, now have some paragon ground effects
can anyone help me? let me know what your running
cheers
Alex

i only got the blacks cause they were 2.99 a pair from stormerhobbies a while ago.
I'll look into the speedminds. i want to try a whole bunch and see what goes the best.
Any recommendation on shock oil weight?

i had my first run at my local track (low grip asphalt).
pretty much running the same setup as u except with the S120.
shock oil i run 20wt. I am also using a protoform Speed 12 shell.
the best tyre combination i found was blacks up front with yellows on the rear. Purple front/white rears also worked pretty good but i think it needs sunscreen on the rear tyres to make it a tad more planted. This is with jaco prisms.
hope that helps a bit

Wonder what sort of turnout we will have for the Nationals.

The guru be kyle.
I have only been running my 1/12 for a couple of months off the back of losing interest in racing.
So what I did is went from stock to mod and after failing to revive 1/10 pan, costly exercise in itself, decided to run 1/12 because of the great drivers I knew running 1/12. Noone wants to run into you for fear of breaking something, my kind of racing.
Will be great to catch up and do battle.
I am trying as hard as possible to get me and my car into the A main come nats if the rc gods are good to me I should be ok.
Mod TC, now thats a different story. My car is way faster than me at the moment but I have the love back for racing so I cant ask for any more.
