Im not 100% sure but i think these are them

LOL. Yes those Pro-Standard springs are the linear ones. They also have the progressive ones. They are really old and hard to find though but I have a few sources! LOL

Gold stars are like drigs in my world. Besides, its hard to resist with Thinderpower as your sponsor! Thanks for the good-natured fun. I'm sure I am not as hardcore as ficco et al.

Hi, I have posted the 12th scale set up already and will be posting the Tc set up soon. im leaving for the winternats soon so it might have to wait but it was close to my other recent set ups.

Thanks

Just got my G12 tires in and, all I have to say is thanks! I'm pretty new to 1/12th and all those colors and shore ratings had my head spinning....now its going to be just soft or medium....so simple, so right! Extra kudos for the setup sheet that came along with the tires, I cannot wait to see how they fair on the track.

Great, I hope they work well for you. I will be releasing a hard front in a few weeks which i think will work well and last even longer. I am not doing a hard rear Because i feel that their is no need for it. Thanks.



Im off to the winternats, i will be back a week from monday to catch up. Thanks.

I noticed Robbie Dodge and Craig Xavier were running the G12s in blinky 12th. What compounds were they running? Did they have any comments on how the cars worked with the new tires and/or setup changes needed vs the typical black/yellow combo often used in 17.5 12th?
