Looks like we will be off to an early start of the season with the IIC. It will be nice because the cars will be run in both brushed and brushless classes. It was very difficult to accomodate both styles of motors. The car was designed to cater to the brushless but has shown to be extremely effective with a brushed motor. I am excited about this. This is just an early start to a very promising season.

Run 2 DB12R for each class is the trick...

Too bad we dont have 1/12 racing here, only joy run.

Hey jason how different are your servo braces compared to the CRC ones?

So that makes how many DB12Rs at the IIC?

It is going to be nice. We dont have a very big team but i know the guys running the car will do well. Our car is really the only "New" car so i am sure there will be alot of people keeping there eye on it. Once we get established, everyone will see that this is the car to have

I got a question, or more so a concern. when installing the front arms, and you screw the 4 big 5/8 screws into teh lower arms, the front screw almost hits the upper a-arm, but when your tires get smaller, you will eventually have to take a ride height spacer out, then the front screws WILL hit teh upper a-arms...

When you have the shims in the arms shouldnt touch. If you run the tires down and they are a little too close for comfort, you can sand the front screws down a tad or run 1/2 inch long in the front of the arms

I did that in the very begining, but with the new Prisms you realy can't run tires so low.

P.S.: One question about prizms: is the lilac really that similar to pink (the sticker color), because when Jason sent me the new lilacs I couldn't even tell by the looks if it's lilac or pink, only when I put the two together I can tell a slight difference in tones... or maybe Jason gave me wrong pair of tires?

The sticker color is similar but the tires are very different
