Aaron had that rear pod on a 12r5. Not sure if you remember that?

Thank you!

I remember, that is what has given me ideas to put it on another car.

I just picked up a Rebel 12 and getting it ready to race. In the Hanulec setup, I have a few questions. First, is it starting with zero pretension on the side springs? I put the black ones on and it seems like I need about 1.5-2.0mm of pretension to get the springs touching the link. Is this correct? What is the purpose of flipping the sidelinks?

Secondly, I picked up the revised upper arm hinge pin. Does the e-clip go on the front or rear side of the assembly? The TOP site shows it on the front, but when I took my one test drive, the pins seems to slide forward and I would want the clips on the rear to prevent this. So I really don't know what is correct.

You want the side springs just touching the side links which would mean zero pre-load.

Flipping the side links eliminates the possibility of the spring getting caught up in the "bowl" of the side link.

If I were using the new hinge pins, I would put it on the top to prevent them from sliding down.

i can hardly believe there hasn't been any chatter on this thread since Donny's excellent 3rd place qualification at Worlds or Ray D's 2nd place qualification at IIC in 13.5.

i finally got my 1/12th back onto the track yesterday w/ those new style tires. wow -- crazy steering. a few front end changes -- adding 2.0mm to the inner upper camber/caster mount totally made the car turn around.

Okay, I'll bite. I've been fascinated by a couple of things on Donny's car. First, what is up with the ESC? It seems he's drilled locator holes on the chassis and then run them up through the case and to the custom heat sink plate? Is this what I'm seeing?






Second, where's the booster or RX battery? Is it simply removed for the pictures? Would it normally go on the deck next to the receiver? Please explain.



Finally, I've heard in the past that the fast TOP drivers will swap out a couple of front end parts. I believe they it's AE knuckles? I can't tell from these pics whether that's the case. What sort of hand fits are in play here? (If any.)

Oh, and double final. BSR blues front/rear?

Donny's cars have some really nice millwork.

For the ESC -- carbon chassis is milled with the chassis acting as the bottom plate.

Another milling feature is putting a 1/2mm cut into the front arm mount area -- cut for the shorter track width -- to prevent the front end from tweaking after a big hit.

I didn't pay attention to his steering blocks. I run ase 10l/12l. Don't see that changing anytime soon...

Hey yea guys the chassis was cut to replace the plastic bottom of the case. The pocket that the internals of the speedo sit in is about 2mm in depth. Flex analysis was almost identical to stock once the speedo was tightened down. It works well and the speedo ends up only being 11mm tall. I don't run a booster or Rx pack. Also, I use associated r5 steering blocks. Hope this helps. Any other questions just ask. Thanks

Donny, which esc do you use so you do not have to use a booster?

LRP FLOW is the speedo!

Donny why did you opt to dun the D3.5 instead of the D4?

Interesting integration! how exactly did you 'tighten down' the speedo? if the case bottom is removed there is only a thin edge of the speedo in contact with a mating edge on the main chassis plate. is the speedo attached with shoe goo or ?

(it just occurred to me the case is screwed together, so you could just use the same screws doh!)

Im not Donnie by any means but its because IFMAR requires motors to be out 6 months prior to a worlds to be legal. The D4 wasnt out in time for this or they would have been running the new motor (This is what Ernie had said in an email).

Kinda a silly rule. They allow any type of car, tires, and ESC's but not motors or batteries.
