Interesting, cause I running a very very loose diff. Seems better check my setup see if something wrong. Probably get L4 diff later. Thanks Holland.

Does anyone know of a caster gauge for 1/12?

yes delta is alive and well. they moslty deal with gas stuff these days. but they also do alot of machining for electric stuff...many parts we use every day. they just don't get the credit.

trey goto the nitro forum and find the xp4 thread. dave has his email there. they have a website.....but i can never remember the url.

i can hook you up with some wire..i won't be over for a couple of weeks though.

Try the website linked above. Go to the wire section and take a look at their 16ga wire. This is the stuff we use.

i saw a racer once use a RPM camber gage to eyesite/check his caster. he would remove the wheels set the car on a flat car set-up board, then set the RPM gage parallel to the side of each kingpin to eyeup and get a reading.

a while back....i mentioned a older link car in the 'whats hot in 12th onroad" thread, you said it sounded familiar and asked if i knew the name of the driver. the name of the racer that moved here from California is Robert Hill. he says he knows you from many years ago.

does anyone know what the website is to ck out the hara 1/12 conversion kit?

also do any of you know much about them ?


thanks Gary

There is a thread on this forum do a search under electric onroad for it. I know where i can get you a nip one for around $75.00 if you are interested. These are good cars I had one last year and really enjoyed.

The thread name is 1/12 RS12G Atsushi Hara Replica. Found it for ya.

Anyone know anything about the Yokomo RC12L4Y World Edition Ver.2005/6 Kit that Masami used to win the 2004 IFMAR championships?

I asked the question a week ago, and no-one said a thing..

I think the only one that I saw for sale was a guy bought all the parts seperate and with a L4 put it together and sold it on here for $275

I think that the BMI car is just about the same thing in my opinion a lot of the same concepts.

I would like to know when you can get the new yokomo charger aka ice I am tired of looking at my pits and seeing the work durajunk woops i mean duratrax. You know that they didn't make the charger as it works to well.

All I know is that it's coming to the States in a couple of weeks...

12L4Y bite my YOKO-NUGEN
 

i went thru a vicious/repeatative cycle of emails with Robert Itoh of Yokomousa.com when i asked about the parts i was racing asphalt at the time and that's why i wanted some of the parts.

very short version
-asked if they were available. site says they are available and coming soon at the same time?
-was told they are available for order thru my LHS
-told him i took the part#'s from the 2005 news release to get my LHS to order them. LHS couldn't order them was told the part#'s don't exist when they tried to order.
-was told they are available for order thru my LHS or order thru them.
-told him they are not listed for sale on the site how do i get them
-was told they are available for order thru my LHS
-reminded him why i was emailing him in the first place.
-was told they are available for order thru my LHS or order thru them.
-asked how to order/pay from them since it's not on the site to purchase
-no more responses...utter email emptiness :weird:

these parts still aren't listed on their online shop for sale?

a poster in this thread "Team Girth" posted that the parts were available at the YOKO location in Cal, etc. i wasn't willing to drive 10 hours to get them. i have moved on. got ahold of Doug Powell (maker of the Quad-12) and had a old school FG chassis made for lo-traction tracks carpet or asphalt. it grips like mad when my graphite car acts like a drift car

I am not seeing much more than a somewhat lightened 12L4 in that pic.
