wasn't disagreeing with your statement on incentives to cheat on batteries.
on batteries, i was just stating....more or less that the factory ratings on the wrapper may not truly always truly reflect actual milliamp rating.

example:
recently another cell in now in the fray IP3800 (Infinite Power). they look like they have some high voltage outputs.Danny/SMC has stated these are actually a 3600 in another RCtech forum.

my original issue was with the sudden ban on 2-stage/wrap tires. supposedly they can reduce laptimes up to 3+- tenths or hundreds of a second. wow that's way less than 5% and it's sudden frontline issue. Cost...to me not a issue. i only pay $3-4 more for them.

2 stage
 

For the extra cash do you get more useful life out of a two stage tire?

I just started racing 1/12 last year and I'm hooked. These cars are fast and for the most part way cheaper then the 1/10 sedan(nothing against sedan) And while everyone talks about making heats longer because of the new batteries I'm on the driver stand hearing 3 minutes down five to go :lol: Now if I could only convince everyone they should ditch their sedans and join the fun.

"once you go 1/12, you never go back"

anyone?

anyone?

yep they are good ones to run but sometimes hard to find at our local shops, so i also use orion sprint brushes for a 10x1 or 11x2 orion core touring motor (pre-V2)

springs. i use a mix of trinity silver, blue, or green springs

T-bar, the middle third screw is usually removed to increase rear traction, alignment shouldn't be a issue. however your t-bar is more prone to break from a hard hit/crash

brace across the t-bar mounted above the pivots? i don't run one doesn't seem to hinder/help. was told it was there to reduce chassis flex and prevent the shifting/tweak of the t-bar/pivot mount screws.

Thank you for the video.
Where can we see photos of the cars?

Hmm I would n't know about that....I like sedan over 12th scale .but again 12th scale is a fun car...

The white 12L4 says to the blue 12L4, "Which way to the closest race track?"

I love the Mobil 1 paint job.
Where did you get the sticker set?
Are the stickers external or internal?

I second that, who painted that?

Has anybody tried a brushlkess motor with LiPo cells in a 1/12? I want to try it. I also have a spektrum system. What issues have i got to deal with?

I know i will need something to reduce the voltage to the servos as the spektrum doesnt reduce it. What else?

Cheers

no reciever reduces the servo voltage. that is done be the esc.

Not on the spektrum it doesnt. It hasnt got a BEC installed

Cheers
