I was wondering what size drill bit to use for the steering blocks? I have the newer ass. front end. They are very very tight out of the box. Anyone know the size bit to use for the Castor blocks? They are super tight as well.

Thanks.

Well Im back! I got tied up with work the last couple of days. What do you guys think of the new Black Widow? Is the T-Fource Team Red car a T-bar car and what do you all think about this car, any weak points?

Thanks for all the help!

Steering blocks: .125" (1/8)

Castor blocks: 2mm, but they are supposed to be tight.

from the trinity pics...the BlackWidow looks like a 12l4 with dampner tubes with a trinity pod. don't know if they are available yet?

yep the "T"-Fource has a "T"-bar

I would like to modify my 12L4, I'd like to use damper tubes in it, I think damper tubes should work better than the damper disk because isolates the side to side damping from the for and aft damping.... any idea how to make this mod?, I know the best would be to buy a whole new chassis, or a conversion like the BMI or the CRC T-Fource....., but if I can modify my L4 without changing the whole chassis, I'd rather do that. Any ideas.....

All you need is a CRC top, motor pod plate from their Carpet Knife 3.2 and their dampener tubes. Or...

If you do not have lowered pod plates, then you could order the IRS four screw kit for the IRS Rug Rat conversion, part number IRS1162, which gives you lowered pod plates and a four screw top plate with holes for dampener tubes. Cost is $47.95. You would still need to order the dampener tubes from CRC.

gets you the tubes, graphite, and hardware to put tubes on the l4 without changing chassis' or pod plates

Thanks guys, I already have the crc blue alum. lower pods plates, been running them for more than a year.....

johnnywhopper would you please tell me what is exactly included in the uni-tune kit 1328 from CRC?, is it a direct fit to the L4?

Has any of you converted your L4 to tubes? what do you think about the idea?
Thanks

Hey Jorge,

The best way is to sold your L4 and get a nice bloody T-Fource :nod:

You should take a look to the Hyperform 12, this is a convertion for the L4. I have one, maybe we can work something, i am very happy by the performance of my CRC T-Fource, i think i will stay with it.

e-mail me if you want some infos.

Thanks

Getting into the 1/12th game. What's a good quick servo?

Mart42 10-27-2005 05:49 PM

Can't go wrong with the Futaba 9650.

Aitronics 94145, Ko Propo 949, Jr 3550 and the new 3650 are good choices.

Okie i'm going to order a CRC Carpet Knife 3.2R and keep my L4 for outdoor only.
I'm going to order it from CRC website so want to know what spare/hop-up part should i order at the same time as there is no local shop selling CRC car/parts and i want to be prepared in case i break somehthing
