Well... Today I finally had the time to take a complete day at the track and really do some testing with the CH12. Last week I was going to but I crashed a servo saver and offcoarse, nobody had one spare...
All I can say is... WOW!!! This car really rocks!!! Almost straight out of the box built and it was dead-on, super steady and more steering than I have ever seen on a 12th scale... Today I could find a basic tire setup on our track so coming week I will go on with setting the CH12 up further. I also will try the shims under the pivots & upper arms to make the car even better...
Damn Jason!!! What a CAR!!!

Just got back from the TimezoneII GP and wow!! Friday was practice but I got there a day early on Thursday for the club race. I needed the extra time with the car (gotta knock off almost 1-1/2yrs of rust, lol) . After some ESC frustration (had to breakdown and buy a TekinRS Pro
) and tire testing, I was fastest with CRC Black frts @ 1.65" & CRC Grlw or BSR GrWht @ 1.68". The car was very efficient with tire wear. Without detailing everything out- with one practice run, 2 Quals (there was 3 quals total but tried BSR Team Purple frts for one of them), and 2 Mains, tire wear was approx .008" per. Awesome!!
There's more to post but I'm mentally spent and just wanna veg. Talk to you peeps later.
BTW, with this new front-end, get yourself (2) 'stepped' ride height gauges for setting your droop alot faster & more accurately
. More on that later....its really simple though and close to what most of us do already.
Oh and of course I glued the sidewalls of the front and rear....

Yep...sure did
When I left the game, the LRP TC Spec and Speed Passion 1.0 was my last speedos. My last big race was the 2008 IIC. So this was my first time running a speedo waith all this boost/dynamic timing crap
But Kenny Lambert (Tekin rep) was there and ALWAYS available to dial me in. It was fast but I don't think it's optimized yet Anything you need to know?

1.5 degrees camber
6 degrees caster
1.5mm shims per side behind front axles
0 toe

I must say, after watching everyone dread setting ride height and scrambling for shims, it is really cool to be the only car on the market that doesnt need to do that. A small tweak on the set screws and your ride height and droop is adjusted. Im loving it.

Jason, do your 1.2 cf flex links come in pairs or individually?
Also, what is the part number for the four screws that hold the front end to the chassis plate?
Thanks
