BSchorr,
After spending all that money putting your setup together and selling it, you still wanna do it all over again? You're nuts!

BMI,
Excellent website. Much easier to navigate with some freshness compared to other websites. The online store is easier to ask for quotes rather than bugging you with emails.

Thanks.

Good to see you will be picking up another car buddy. 1/12th seems to be really taking off. Let me know when your ready.
I basically telecommute to BMI everyday.

Thanks for the kind words about the website. Nexus is "The Man"! He really came through for us and put together a great website and webstore. I just did the sorting of products and the product pics.

Even if you are just curious about the car you should check out the webstore just to see the pics of the parts. I have been into R/C cars for over 20 years and I am still blown away when I look at the DB12R parts we make. Jason did not "rig" or "make due" with anything on this car. There are no AE t-bar pivots hacked up or cut up anywhere on the DB12R. BMI designed and machined custom pivot balls, delrin housings and flex-links to be perfect expressions of Jason's vision with no compromises.

Pretty much all you will need is a 1/8th reamer for the steering spindles and i always bevel the top of the hole in the upper eyelet to make sure the shims dont bind up the arm travel.

Once we have started talking about tools... which turnbuckle wrenches are you guys using for altering caster? There are just so many of them, I have no idea, which will fit..

For adjusting camber on the Associated type front end, I use the Associated wrench, it's just a flat sheet metal type stamped wrench, has 3 or 4 different size openings in it, not many other "real" wrenches will fit in there to adjust it. here is a pic of that wrench, it's the top one.
