it's not that you suggested another chassis, it's that you said it's the only chassis worth considering.

That's my opinion fella! Are you telling me I can't have an opinion on RC Tech? You offer an opinion of what you like and know I am not slamming you on your opinion.

MidWest I did say you where right why are you harping on this?

Sorry, I thought the above post was a sarcastic retort to my post, so I merely explained why I posted what I did. No real harping intended.

I have to agree with cypress here, you did not originally state it as your opinion, you stated it as fact, and that "fact" has been challenged, not supported.

Furthermore I have to agree with cypress about the Rev4, in my opinion, it's a great 12th scale carpet car. Now the unusual carpet may cause some issues but the rev4 is so good I think it would work out fine.

The slapmaster car is an excellent car, I know, I have one. I'm driving a speedmerchant right now though as I think it goes through the corners a little better.

Nope not trying to start anything here I guess if you heard it from my mouth it would sound better than typing it out. After I read my post it does sound kind of sarcastic.

chassis choices aplenty
 

Well in the long run I may wish I had gone for one of the choices mentioned here but a sale price is a sale price so I went for the BMI. I am sure it will be good enough to get my feet wet in the 12th arena. My driving skill level is well below the level of my cars(fk05) performance capability so this should be a real comedy of errors.
Thanks for all the input.

There's nothing wrong with the JR servo. Settling would be with an Airtronics servo. jmo.

Number 11... you need to execise caution when you mention what car is best for carpet around CypressMidWest as he has a very strong (good or bad) opinion (feeling) about the SpeedMerchant cars :nod:

You'd have to go back approx. 3-400 pages to see some of the battles that used to somtimes occur over differences of opnions. It was all good in the end though.

The BMI is a decent car, and you should do fine. 12th scale is actually easier to get around the track than a TC. It's just harder to be perfect for 8 mins. with a 12th scale car than it is to muscle a grocery getter around for 5 mins. As long as you put a decent build on your car, and get the set-up right, you'll be okay. 12th scale is all about details, so if the cars good it'll actually make you're driving look better than it is. Good luck and keep the questions coming!

Strong point :nod: I've been doing this for about 18 years, I've run virtually every competitive brand of chassis, and in that time I've learned alot of things, so I tend to stick very strongly with my convictions.

CypressMidWest... do you know who distributes SM kits, horizon?

E

Oops...Thanks, I ment Speedmerchant not Slapmaster...

oops

The SlapMaster stuff is pretty much self-distributed due to the comparatively low volume. I think I saw Debbie at Rain City Raceway post that she has a MS chassis in stock. Or you can order one direct from "da man".

Chris no matter what someone says it is there opinion. I really don't have to add well it is my opinion that blah. blah car is the latest and greatest. If I said blah, blah car is the latest and greatest that is my opinion. Joe Blow shouldn't get slammed on it because he likes blah, blah car. Hey let's move on my intention was to promote a product I find to be really good.
