I have a Corally SP12 G3....and you can't have it! LOL

Skip- Huh???? Were you talking to Kev?? I didn't get the "you know the drill" and "let's see if you can back up all of the BS"??? I'm assuming you were talking to Kev.

Johnny Socko- Thanks on the kingpin deal, how did i miss THAT? LOL!

Several racers have Carpet Knives at my local track. One of them noticed that if you put a straight edge on the rear of each tire, on the right side (pinion/spur side) the straight edge will be aligned with the front wheel but on the other side the edge is about 3-4mm away from the front tire. We checked 3 cars and they are alll the same. What could it be? My car has it too but drives great. I have an IRS axle with a clamping hub and no spacers on mine. The others have the kit axles, don't know if they have spacers or not. Maybe I have my clamping hub on wrong?

Dave......I think Skip has been spending too much time up in the land of cheese b/c I cant make heads or tales of what he said either. I think hes refering to you that they only race 12th scale stock....IE "you know the drill". And as far as backing up the BS do you want me to go out and get a 12th scale car so I can beat you in that class aswell:lol:? Im not sure who he ment backing up the BS for:weird: But what ever I will be going up to trackside this sunday so any smack talk can be done in person or over a burnt track pizza. ....See ya sunday Skipper doodle dee.

Captian Kaios out..........:batman:

Rcracer, you can get straight reamers at most better tool stores or from mcmaster carr online. What most people think of as a reamer is a tapered reamer that you use to put holes in bodies, etc. Or you can try polishing the kingpin like ausracer suggested too.

Newracer, You probably have your hub on backwards. The IRS hub has a "long" side and a "short" side. Put the hub on the axle with the short side in. This will move your left rear in enough so that your rear wheels are equal distance from center. Check your right side spacing too as most cars have a slightly wider rear track than front track ( this helps steering).

Ok, I'll have a look......

Kev- hey is RobK going with you? When ARE you going to get your 12th scale...oh wait i bet it's when i get my TC. LOL, LOL, LOL!!!! Hey by this summer i should have one or a 2wd off road car and we can run then. Of course i can also run one of your older Schumacher TC's if you want. Boy what a shameless plug for a TC that was. LOL, LOL, LOL, iiii can aredly i mean hardly type after that one. LOL!!!

NewRacer- in my opinion all 12th scales should have their rear track checked periodically to make sure they are the same on both sides like Johnny Socko said. What you do is take a ruler and place it in the middle of the two screws in the center of your chassis (ones for antenna and the other your mono-ball or in the case of a t-bar car the two pivot balls) and then make a mark at the back of your rear pod bottom plate. Now you have the actuall center line to measure from and you take a ruler or callipers and measure from the centerline both sides and shim to equall and max legal width accordingly. This will also help fix pulls to one side under accelleration. Also make sure you do what Socko told you to do with fliping the hub around.

I flipped the hub around and that seamed to fix it. I was trying to think of a way to measure it, how you said makes perfect sense. I'll measure it like that to check it more accuratly. Thanks for the help.

Tigger.....I dont know if Rob is going with me or not I have yet to talk to him this week. I have a 12th scale just dont race it localy to much but with the increase of cars at Scotty's I might race it more.....and with the smack Skiper talking too that might be more of an incentive.

My Yokomo YRX-12WE will be in my doorstep this Thursday!:nod: :nod:
I can't wait to build this thing! I will keep you guys posted on this car and how well it performs on the track! :D :D

I can tell you now it will be great!!
Got my Yokomo 12L3 2001 Special up and running (this and the YRX-12 are almost the same, just different carbon used), and it is awesome!!

Do you know where I could find setups for it or should I just set it up just like I would and AE 12L3?

At the moment I'm using the Kit setup, but it seems to respond to the same inputs as a 12L3, as it is one.....only it is 4-cell and 2mm longer...

has anyone used the yokomo1/12 scale body yet? How does it handle on carpet?

sigearhead- will you be running your yok sunday at ultra? ill be bringing out the rev.3
