The cross brace standoffs on both the T-Fource and the L4 are 4.4 inches apart.

front track width 3.2r abp
 

Team CRC...
How come the front track on the 3.2r abp chassis is wider than the standard 3.2r chassis?

Also, I had to add shims to the dbl stack nuts at the football inorder for the rear pod to align with the main chassis. Is that normal or did I miss something in the assembly?

Thanks,
E

I also noticed some differences on a recent replacement chassis I bought for my T-Force. The front track adn wheelbase was different. Maybe some updates they are doing to the design?

Could it be a thickness difference between the chassis and the pod bottom plate?

thanks alot

thanks alot

Awhile ago we had a discussion about battery placement and I mistakenly stated that batteries forward on a t-bar car is always more steering, etc....

Well-being a test-aholic that I am I had to find out so I took my normal set-up which is good i think and Only moved the batteries from full back to full forward in my t-fource and I pushed and even on exit was no steering. I mean I went across the apex of a 180 and kept going stright with wheel a full lock. I then went to batteries middle, more sauce on fronts and a little smaller circle and got most of the steering back, but a smoother feel. Car squared up well, but not as square as batteries back. I am now thinking of trying full caster and maybe a little stiffer center spring to see if I can make car have more steering, but remain smooth.

I guess thanks to this thread-one of the best on rctech!!

hey ray,

i found the same thing when wayne and i were testing our chassis kit.the further forward you move the cells,the less weight transfer under deceleration and acceleration.full back gave me the most steering and most aggressive feel.i generally start with them full back with my standard setup and creep them forward until double steer is eliminated.i only run on asphalt so i know it is different for you carpet munchers. :lol: all in all though i agree with you on this.

I have a L3 and was wondering if a L4 chassis would be a direct swap ?

crc 3.2r
 

Hey guys, i just got my crc 3.2r ,and now, what items and hop ups i need to get it nto podium? lol
seriously, what extra parts i need? some castrer upgrades? spring? please, help me...here in Brazil nobody races this car, so i need some advices...

Tks alot.

Front body posts and screws are different...Minor cost to get the L4 posts.

Being able to move the batteries to the forward position is a plus with the L4.

get the spring kit for the center and side springs that crc has so you have some tuning options. If you don't want all of them maybe the white and red side springs and gold, red, and copper center springs.

I would get a set of the IRS (irrgang) ride height adjusters they have half mm steps to fine tune ride height.

Also the front end shims from CRC to fine tune ride height up front.

I would definately get the low roll center kit for the car though. That really made the difference in the car. It locks in the rear end.

Other than that it comes with everything you need. You could get the reactive aluminum uprights, but to me its more for looks than performance.

Ray - Next time you run try spacing the front pivot ball for the center shock up 2mm. You will get more steering. I have been testing with shock angle and it makes a big diffrence.

What do people reckon is the best 19t motor for 1/12th. I've been using a Reedy Quad and Peak Dynasty Laydown in the past but looking at getting a new one for the upcoming 1/12th season. Thinking of maybe the Checkpoint 19t or maybe something like the EA C2 or Komodo Dragon.

in 12th rpm is king.

The komodo turns a bunch of rpm it would be a good motor. However it also pulls a lot of amps under load. If you are running good batteries with high run time you might try the komodo. The c2 has always been a good 12th 19 motor as well more on the rpm side.

The reedy quad and the dynasty are both more on the torque side. Of the two I like the dynasty the best for 12th if I had to choose one.

I'd say komodo if you have the batteries or the C2 if you want to be on the safe side.

Adrian,

what car are you running?

I know the crc cars are already running a flatter shock than most cars from the box. The L4 car and I think the trinity are both running more angle on their shocks than CRC cars.
