Hey all,
I suppose everyone knows the 12th scale is all about maintenance and attention to detail. Well-this past week I worked on it and worked on it (3-4 hours of work-maybe??). Went to the track Sunday-used the same tired old motor (13, 14 runs on same brushes now), same batteries as always-and went 0.6 faster per lap consistently. Also went from being 0.7 second behind the TQ's fastest lap to 0.4 sec behind. So its all getting a lot better now.
Also-my last 5 or 6 laps are about 1 sec quicker now than before the rebuild. So all this work has also helped the cars efficiency as well. It works so well-the batteries are not getting killed.
Just a FYI to those who make excuses to not work on there 12th scales (like me the last few months).
Its like getting $$$ higher voltage, longer runtime batteries $$$ for the price of some of your time!!!
