Cool. I am not running the 12R this weekend. I am going to do some last minute testing with the 10R to really nail it down on a real huge fast moving 1/8th scale track. The regular tracks have been done. Its this 1 big a$$ track that i feel i didnt get the car just right on. I am determined to do this this weekend so i needed no distractions.

Rcsteve- regardless what you do unless you run extremely high ride height your chasssis is going to get scratched its ok that just means your chassis is rollin lol and is the asphalt going to be treated cause if it is then i suggest startin with the stock setup and just some pink tires front and rear
hope this helps

Cheston, He will be running on asphalt with carpet traction. I think your carpet setup will work well. Run the .018 front springs to help keep the car more level and go to the angled servo. Will you be running stock or 19 turn?
Cheston, come out to ronnies this weekend. I will let you run my 1/12th car with the new springs on it. The car is so dialed. I ran 19 turn on a huge fast and flowing track. Not 1 scratch on the bottom of the chassis. The car worked really well. I will also have the new springs finished so you can pick em up.

Thanks. I will get some tires and a chassis protector then. I will also ask around the track to but more than half the guys at the track haven't ran asphalt either.
Yeah I guess thats what you can call it because traction will be real consistent and high cause it is indoors. I will get that stuff tomorrow hopefully, and I have 2 cars, 1 for stock and 1 for 19t, but the 19t one is yet to hit the track... and the barriers.

Eventually you'll find even the chassis protector is not worth the hassle. Vets have learned to get used to a scratched chassis on asphault. In 1/12th you'll be often tweaking and checking to make sure screws are tight and the protector just gets in the way.

Hey Jason or Adrian,
Sometime in May, 360 Speedway is pulling up the carpet and going to do asphalt over the summer. It is real smooth indoor track. Never run on either. Should I just start with the starting set up or would you suggest something other wise. I want to get an idea of the tires I will need and stuff. Also should I run a chassis protector or something to protect it from getting scratched or on a smooth asphalt track you wouldn't need that? Thanks alot,
