hey just a quick question.
I have both the one pc top mount and cross brace and the 2 pc with out the cross brace . the part that connects the damper tube and the on top the the flex plates. Is there a deifference in performance in either of the two.
And jason thanks for the help, almost got into the A here. ( really freaking hard lots of good crc driver in my club.) but hit a board hard and broke my battery and an L flex plate.
well tomorrow is another day and look out.
Just another question what is the benifits of either laydown servo or angled. have the servo flat right now.
the car keep going faster and faster. can't wait to get the new products and go to brushless soon, maybe after the new year.
cheers

The one piece crossbrace doesnt effect handling so much as it does keep the chassis from flexing when using heavy damper tube lube.
Running the servo flat is good for carpet racing. You will have a slight bit of bump toe in. THis will mellow the car out going into a corner so the car isnt so edgy.
I have seen guys who run the servo angled on carpet and asphalt. Jason Schreffler run the servo on the angled mounts.

Jason - your new chassis design looked to handle very well last weekend on carpet. Congrats on your good changes.
I took some videos of the racing last weekend at 360 and I've posted the 1/12th 17.5T A-main online, with more coming. Schreff's DB12R is the black car starting from pole.
Swampracer - be careful w/ Jaco Yellow rears. they will unglue from the rim after one run. you need to apply a small amount of CA between the rim and foam on the outside edge of the tire. i end up switching rear tires every run when i run yellows and re-glue the tires i took off and let them dry before using them again (heck - i just make sure to have enough tires to one run them for a race day/weekend)

I have found parmas to be the cat's meow.
The two of us with db12's run magenta front and rear and the car is wicked. granted Jason told us what we should be doing for set-up and thats what we are using with little tweaks here and there for driving style.
The only problem i have encountered with the parmas is breaking rims. That was when getting "tapped" at full clip going into the one high speed corner and it resulted with hitting the wall,not the boards, about 4ft of the ground. Surprisingly the rim was all that broke and the car never tweaked. Lets see you t-bar or link guys do that! lol
Might hafta look into the "update" kit after x-mas.... maybe santa will deliver it with a new brushless motor and controller???

Hey Chris, Congrads on your new car your going to like it this car is Dialed!!!
You'll hit it.
I can't wait to get mine. Hopefully by next week I'll have it on the track. I've seen what the car can do up close. Our top local driver usually has a full lap on the field if not more with his DB12R. By far one of the most unique 1/12 scale cars to hit the track in a long time.
