Any ideas of a starting point
we are using
Associated Silver (blue) center spring
White Side springs
300 Much More Shock oil
10,000 Mugen oil in the dampners
Kawada 25 rears (we have found these work best in the low grip with no compounts)
Kawada equlivent to purple on the front
0.20 Front springs
A little over 3.0mm ride hight all round
Using a V2 9 single
Bascially the same as we ran in the L4 donour but no t-bar is kind of different.
Any pointers would help thanks.

Thanks for the reply we were mainly having rear traction problems but the track was really dusty which I think was part of the problem (I'm just the mechanic here)
One other question when we push down a rear body post it will lift a front wheel - is this something to worry about or is a mismatch between the center spring and side springs. Sorry for the noob questions just finding this car a little different to the old L4.
Yep first race this Saturday on astroturf so we will get an idea of how it goes

Lifting a front wheel when you push on the rear body posts is perfectly normal! If you follow the tips in the last post for the rear traction then you should be set, definately let me know how it goes!! and make sure they blow off any dusty tracks with a leaf blower or something
that should help some, possibly ask if you can spray grape soda in the corners and that will help allot also!Damon

Damon,
The car was great down at CEFX.....WOW thats A LOT OF TRACTION!!!!!!!!
Had to glue both front and rear tires. My CD12 was dialed though. I though I did pretty good with 8 Month old batteries and James Brink power plant!!!!! I wanna thank Terry Rott for hookin' me up with the new speedo after mine went nuclear banana on me. yeah my car was dialed if i had some good batteries i could have been at the top of the B!!!! I was the only Diggity designs driver that got 43 laps woot!!! maybe i'll see you on saturday?? I have all my touring car stuff ready for you...
Congrats on the new addition to the family...

Had a great time at our local track yesterday!! It was good to get back out after a 4 week break.. I had fun trying to beat Terry and James, I was right there!! I wanted to say great job to Jason DOODAD and Max as they were really strong in the A-main also!! Seems like the new D12 cars have helped turn you both into some fine drivers!! The article about the 3D12 in the April issue of Extreme RC cars is pretty cool, its neat to get a little recognition!!
