From Saturday Motiv race. I’m consistent. But about it. Tan 2 different versions of the USGT motor. We had 28 for GT12. My fast lap was the 6th place average lap.

Correct. I can’t fix my handling problem. And I’m basically stuck in the middle. 4 laps up on the backfield. 4 laps down from the front.

Running GT12 and stock 1/12 have definitely improved my off road driving.
I am usually pitted right by you. If you want help with car set up don't be afraid to ask.

Brought all my parts to track to finish assembly. Took about 2 hts. It was a bunch of used and new parts laying there. I finished assembly about 45 seconds before my first qualifier. The car was great. By the main I was only 1 second off fastest gt12. I ordered smaller servo saver. Will clean it up and dial in before next race day. Had a blast. Thanks for the help.

I am not instlling smaller wires. 16 gauge is barely bigger than the double windings. I feel like i would be adding a couple winds on the stator.
I like how you have your sensor wire run... What length sensor wire are you using if I may ask?

I want an awesomatix gear diff, but they seem to be out everywhere in the states.
did you check sidepieceracing.com, It looked like they had some in stock when I last checked before I bought the diff from someone at my local track. If you get the diff be sure to check the screw that holds the hub in place. Mine came out in the middle of a run and I could not find it on the track order new one and an extra. I definitely like the gear diff better than the spool and the ball diff. Much more consistent to drive in all types of grip levels.

Thanks. i will fine tune other wiring. I was just excited to get feet wet with it. Was worth the thrash to get on track. 6 inches. I had the only kinda looking scale car. All others were almost like normal 1/12 body's. My porsche body definitely looked coolest.

Anybody purchased the unmounted SJT’s and mounted them themselves? Would love a set of rubber tires on the Yokomo yellow wheels.
