I am leaving the world of 48pitch and going 64 pitch.

To cover my 19turn and Stock racing I was going to get a 100T spur and pinions from 25 to 35. I run my tires stock size out of the box until the axel will get no lower. Will this range cover my bases??

you might need a smaller spur (for when the tires are very small the 100 spur is as big as the tires......96 or 94) and you might need smaller on the pinion if your are stock and have a small tight track....... with new tires i have used 23 ~ 24 pinion.........

I doubt that he still makes the 2 or 3. The Rev4 is a superior car, although I gotta say, my Rev3 still works great. Why are you looking?

What's up, Doc? (sorry)
My team mates regularly run as high as a 37 tooth pinion for 19 turn, but that is with much smaller tires (you should try them small, the car will work better). I run a 92 tooth spur, then I have no issues with clearance when running stock or 19.

BTW, I was trying to figure out your soldering iron question, but I don't use that model and the Hakko website is so frikkin' slow...

Ya been conserding another car, of the non T-bar family....

Well, I'm pretty biased, but the Rev4 is the best car going right now. If you have an L4 or similar, you can build a Rev4 with the conversion kit for $125.
The complete kit for $200 is also a great value with IRS diff and motor plates.

Thanks OD, have heard great things about the Rev-4 need to try one. I will get in touch with Speedmerchant. Thanks Bill

Seasons greetings to everyone.

Noob question people, from a person just starting in 1/12. I havent had the time to practise with my new T fource but I have a building question. How do you take out the bearings from the front wheels. I had a really hard time pushing them in so I guess it is going to be a pain taking them off. Is there a tool or technique to remove them?

Thanks a lot people.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all.

aantonis,

I normally just use a one of my allen wrenches to tap lightly through the center of one bearing to pop the one on the opposite side out. Just be careful not to hit the bearing race.

Good luck with your new car.

Hi Guys, I'm new to 1/12 scale,before I jump in with both feet I bought a Reflex12--brand new for $50.Now I'm finding no info on the car.I went on Trinity's website and they don't even mention the car.My question is what is wrong with this car? Why don't they support it?

they have a new car now (black widow). the reflex is good car....but parts are scarce. contact trinity direct to see what they have left.

Trinity parts support has always been lackluster. Trinity stuff is everywhere but, the parts are impossible to find. It took me three months of back order to get damper tubes for the switchblade. When they finally showed, I had already switched to a different car.

It seems you're right, as near as I can see the Reflex12 was released in 2004? Here we are a year later and parts availability is nil! Well, like I said, this is just a "starter" car, If I like racing 1/12 I'll buy a better car.

Welcome to the world of 1/12th scale racing!
The Trinity reflex car can suit all your needs. Take your time building it, and make really really sure the front end doesn't bind in any place. You'll need to ream out some parts for that. The upper and lower arm balls and the steering blocks need to be checked for binding. Find the sweet spot between play and binding. Double check that camber and caster setting are exactly the same left and right.
Another important note: make sure the rear pod and main chassis are at the same height when the car is ready to run (with electronics and batteries installed). i.e. make sure the rear pod doesn't "hang low" or is jacked up by the center shock.
Switch the tires left and right every other run.
Stiffen the front tires sidewalls with CA, otherwise your car will easily traction roll.
Just make sure you can get the most of this car before moving on to another. You'll probably find out that you don't even need another car to run at the front of the pack. The Reflex did win some major races when it was just released and Trinity was still suporting it at their best.
