No problem....If you are out at IRP on Monday I will take a look at it for you then. If there is play in the servo saver you might just need a new one. I have had some that were brand new had a lot of play in them, so that might be something to look into aswell.


Jason....yeah as fast as me...:lol: you would be amazed at how tall I start my tires for club racing....hehehe.

For club racing I run @ 1.69 fronts and 1.78 rears, and they would last for @ 2 weeks of club racing.

Thanks Walt

Guys out there running the T-Fource-
Are you running the stock T-bar or switching over to the AE .063 one? Any particulars if you have?

Who's going to have their t-force out on the track first JB? :sneaky: You, I'm taking my sweet time since the sedan is still my main focus. :nod:

Sanding and glueing all the pieces tonight.

JayBee 12-28-2005 11:29 PM

I just got done sanding tonight. I'm in NOOO big hurry. My t-fource won't probably be ready for a couple of weeks. :sneaky: My Yoke is so strong right now so I see no need to rush it.

hey guys

just wanted to say thanks to all who have helped me with questions
I just have a few brief ones left now :p

what are Pro cut tyres? are these just a brand? or tyres that have been trued down to race conditions?

Has anyone brought donuts and reglued them onto their existing rims that have been cleaned up throughly with sucessful results? or do you guys just buy new wheels and foams already mounted every time?

Why do you guys run 64 pitch and not 48 pitch?

whats the best body for asphalt? that is low traction and techincial

Thanks in advance guys! sorry for the nonsense!

theisgroup 12-29-2005 05:22 AM

pro cuts are crc tires cut down to race size. save your truer on the first cut. lol

64 pitch give you a little bit more control of roll outs.

Mark Payne 12-29-2005 06:23 AM

Well I have never raced 1/12th on asphalt do I am a learner here also.

But what I do know.... is that in the UK we race on what is regarded as low traction surfaces as we are banned from using really aggressive additives.

So the universal (well 80%) body of choice in the UK is the Parma Zytek. I then have the CRC body on call for when I need more steering.

But I would wait for the real asphalt experts to respond!

Reglue tires: that's what I mostly do. When I glue them myself they don't come off that easily. Saves me a few bucks also. You do need acces to a tire truer off course!

I run 48 pitch. 64 Pitch is more efficient and allows finer adjustment in rollout. It's also more fragile, so 48pitch is no bad choice for a not-so-clean outdoor track.

Another body that works on low traction surfaces is Trinity's Lola T310. Either you think it's beatiful, or totally hideous (i still haven't figured it out for myself :D :D ). Anyway it has serious traction. In lightweight it's somewhat fragile though.

Damper tubes for a 12L4
 
Hi,

What brand of parts and/or conversion kits do people normally use to fit damper tubes on a 12L4? Thanks.

Andy

I think that CRC has a kit - it even comes in blue to match your 12L4.

adavid 12-29-2005 09:11 AM

Thanks. Would you happen to have a part number or link to it on the crc website? I haven't been able to find it.

Andy

Check out part number - IRS1162

how do u guys like the crc pro cuts tires

adavid 12-29-2005 09:29 AM

The picture for IRS1162 only shows the side pod plates and a top deck. Are the damper tubes and other hardware included or is that something I need to buy separately? Thanks.
