hey guys im having abit of trouble

which ones are the tweak screws? to make the bottom plate and motor plate level.

i have awesome handling turning right but left is very sensitive and spins out on throttle veryyyyyyyyy easily.

what cap. or reciver battery should o get? if i get the Li-Po Rx battery, should i get VXR 120/240 or MM 200/250? how many races (ruoghly) can they last (120/200/240/250)?

Do i have to use the regulator? 1A or 5A?

Is the 5A ONLY for spektrum and PCM? what about KO?

Thanks

Hey Dan!! If you run 0.5mm of front droop as Dan recommends-you also have the advantage of not introducing what might feel like a tweak in the car that doesnt appear while tweaking car on your set-up board!! But-if you put in too much droop in the frnt, car can vibrate horribly on a mildy bumpy or ripply track. Also-a little tiny bit of pre-loads not bad-but its a driver preference thing for sure!! try 0.5mm droop-then add a thin copper motor shim to ake it all ut and see what you prefer. 99% of the time on a t-plate car I run a smidge of preload (stock, carpet/foam).

I also learned something that might help you guys running 3.2's in modifiied. I was having issues of edginess and tippiness today and for the Main I dialed it out with a half turn of preload on my zero preloaded side springs and putting the CRC blue lube in the tubes (Thats the heaviest). Calmed the car down dramatically and I could drve it a lot harder after that and car was smoother as well. I learned those tricks from Hodge and Frank just last week-so it was cool to put them to action right away.

Brian too many Martini's in Minneapolis I think my next livery will be a Grey Goose sponsored car...........YGM back

JB if you have that much droop that might explain some of the vague steering in your car, especially on power. Like Ray commented I am running .5max I try to keep it with just a hint of freeplay but it borders on pre-load at times.

hi all, what is the roll out for 8T/9T,10T/11T/19T when play in a small - midium technical track when using 50mm tires?

and how to calculate when using the number of "turns" of the motor in the formula?

It's all done up good now...I won't be down Friday night early enough for practice :( but maybe I'll make it down in time for some racing. Speaking of Grey Goose, you should see the SIZE of the bottle I'm getting :eek: ;)

Difuser 03-27-2006 05:46 PM

Is it from SoCal? If so then I already know the sizing. Can't fit those ones in any cabinets around the house......Got mine down in Costco in Palm Springs

Difuser 03-27-2006 10:28 PM

Back to 1/12 now See you Friday for some more door to door. Just follow me I'll show you the good line :sneaky: :tire:

Hello.:) I am a 1/12 beginner. Just got a newly assembled 12L4. Where should I go with my baisc questions? I checked the newbie threads and searched for 1/12 but didn't get any hits. Just thought I would ask before making some of you think to yourselves "UHHHhggg . . .how many times are going to have to answer this question!!!" Keep an eye out for me . . .I will be asking some very rudimentary questions about simply getting the car track ready correctly. Thanks ! :p
