Crashby,

This is Chris, I'm using Ruben's laptop at the track, hence the different handle. I would think that as the outside front spring compresses int he corner also the outside (I think) side spring will contact. I'm not backing them off much but I wanted any contact between spring and ball to be even either side.

I wish you and the other crusty ones were here, we only have 5 12th scalers.

My 12th-scale friends-
I have been using the KO 949 in my car since I've had it with no problems until...yesterday :flaming: :cry:
The servo just won't center. I've tried using the 'quick' trim on the radio and it would correct the problem initially but a few seconds later veer right/left, hard right/hard left :weird: . So I said screw the Main and fix the car, zeroed out all trim & endpoints_re-centered the servo on the car_rebuilt the links to stock settings_reset stock camber_repositioned servo saver. Then adjusted the car to the radio but in the end, same damn problem :mad: So I've come to the conclusion that the all-impressive 949 is busted. I wonder if it has something to do with being a 6V servo instead of a 4.8V one :confused: Do I need a receiver pack on the car too? For right now though I just went out and bought a HiTec HS-225MG. Do you guys think the KO is busted?

more likely

***UPDATE***

i finally got a chance to run the corally steering link in my t-fource and the results are ok..... i like the way to car track straight the cornering is a lil slower and my front wheels have multiple dents in the inner rim due to the contact of the bigger ballcup from a crash. im switching back to turnbuckle style. i love the straightness but aint worth my tires.

Jaybee,

A reciever pack will let you have the full speed and torque of the servo. That is the main reason why I use one in stock. btw, I have a ko 949 servo in mine, and I don't have a $100 to have less than 100% performance :sneaky: .

I would open up the casing on the ko and see if you stripped a gear. If you stripped a gear, the replacement is far cheaper than a new servo.

I'm looking into it now :nod: ...

Thank you Crimson Eagle and the 3 Wise Men
 

Thanks for leading me to the Rev 4 guys...

Easily cut a couple tenths off during my maiden run with it at Stockton and had an 11.9 sec lap during the race. Wow...What a car!

Hope to see you all next weekend for the NW Carpet Champs...Get well OD.

Bill........was the track layout the same as we ran on Wednesday? Glad you like the Rev4!

Yep, exact same layout. Believe Ruben has enough positive comments about this layout so it may well be what we use next weekend for the Champs.

I vote for that......let the bite build up like what it will be at the Nats.

Thanks.........Jim

Chris: Are you using progressive or standard springs in the rear?

I assume standard as I didn't know that progressive was available.

Chris.

I believe the cone-shaped springs that everyone uses on the rear of their rev. 4's are called "progressive" by Wolfe. Wolfe also makes "standard" springs that are the normal spring shape like our front springs, but are color coded and slightly larger in diameter.

Interesting...You guys never cease to amaze me.

I'm thinking about getting a 2nd car so, besides the L3/L4- Yokomo- TFource, are there other T-plate cars? And as far as the link cars go, which is considered a decent high-bite asphalt ride?
