My RS chassis is much stiffer than my mates Black SSG chassis - no comparison.

With a doubled upper deck it's really nice for the control rubber class. It got me 4th in the A last Sunday - I gave the 3 sponsored guys ahead of me a real run for their money.

1st Losi XXXs
2nd Xray
3rd TC3
4th My RS
5th Yok SSG

The Losi was unbelievable - I gave it a drive after the final. Boy that thing carried good speed I was quicker with his car than I was my own......

Back to the drawing board me thinks!

in that magazine pic of the RS ver2 chassis, did anyone notice the all white body? It's a new RS honda body that will be out shortly

Well, I don't drive, I just wrench for my son Alex. He ran it last year in 19T and Stock on carpet. He liked it on carpet with rubber tires alot better than the SSG. He said he couldn't tell much of a difference between the RS and the CGM on carpet. But I think the CGM was a little better on carpet than both. He is going to run it again at the ROAR Region 12 Championships next weekend in 19T and run the CGM in Mod. This is race is on asphalt. It should be a blast.

hi guys... just wondering...
where do you guys buy your
pinion and spur gears?

any brand will work?
or just as long as they are
48 and 64 pitchs?

thanks for the help!

aoizip,

I haven't changed my 78t spur since I installed a Corally one... It's got hundreds of runs on it with no sign of wear. You need spurs where you can screw 4 screws, ie 8-hole, 12-hole... stay away from 6-hole ones. I run RRP (Robinson) pinions, with entire satisfaction. All the big shops carry both brands.

Later,
Paul

Hey Guys,

I have noticed over the past couple days everyone has been talking about the Rayspeed, ssg and cgm chassis and comparing them. I just wanted to remind some of you about the Atheena chassis. I have been running the chassis and top plate for the past few weeks and it is very very stiff and a heck of a lot lighter than my cgm setup. Deffinetly worth looking into if anyone is planning on changing their chassis. Their website is www.atheenaprojects.com.

Thanks,

Blake

Guys, some one mentioned a RS2 chassis, I havent heard anything about it yet. (well down here in AUS, we dont get all the info) anyone got any more ideas,
Also while im here, how do you guys feel about the weight difference between the SSG/RS and the CGM!
I am thinking of going back to the SSG or an RS chassis just to lighten the car up!
Any thoughts...............

Bluey,

The reason i am using the atheena chassis currently is the weight problem the cgm has. My cgm chassis car weighs 5 ounces more than the atheena car! I was going to switch back to the ssg or rayspeed chassis but after looking into the atheena chassis, it is deffinetly the stiffer of the plate chassis available.

I get my spurs from SpeedtechRC. They are the Xenon ones. Very nice. As for pinions, I use Robinson Racing. I get those from the local hobby shop.

I just picked-up a used Yoke MR-4TC SD with the SSG chassis from a guy locally. The guy only ran about a dozen or so pack through it - decided that he wanted to try 1/12.

Rather then reading the 330 (+) pages, do any of you have any must-know tips for this car? I am gonna try it indoor carpet 19T with rubber tires (largest class in my area).

He did a mod where he moved the servo mount so that the servo mounts parallel to the front suspension - however in doing so, I need to servo tape the servo to the chassis ... not too keen on that. How is the stock servo position on this car - looks like its open to damage in a crash.

Thanks for all the help in advance.

Check this chassis for the Yoke.
