Lastly does anyone have a website where i visit and buy these cells.

Thanks in advance,

I dont have a pic of them in my 12r5 but yes thay will fit, as for the gear I dont know of anyone ever thats run the esc and motor your asking about but I dont see any issues. Here is a link to where I got mine

I know people (decent drivers) that always sauce the whole tire.

If I have to sauce less than 1/4 or more than 3/4 of the front tire, I generally look for a different tire (less than 1/4 harder, more than 3/4 softer).

As far as car set-up, there are plenty of t-bar addicts on this thread (excluding me), post here a full listing of your set-up (ride height; front middle and rear, front spring size, shock oil/spring and side damping, brand and compound of tires, battery position, etc).. I am sure that you will get some help. The people that can help that are on the s120 thread should also be reading this one.

good luck
Good catch your correct I ment to type inside not outside
