Thanks!!! After doing some columbo work here in the forums it seems that the body has low points that hit electronics. If thats true, I don't want to risk it.

Hey, RAL!

Waz Up?!? I use that body and while it is extremely low, I don't have any issues with hitting the electronics except for the front of the leading edge of the main battery pack. Even then, some body pulls hit more that others. You cannot have the wires or the battery lugs that you solder to sticking up above the batteries.

Sounds cool ,yeah I'd like to grab that stock chassis up. You should come up with Marcos to run Superior this coming Sunday. If not maybe hand it to Mr. Jennings to bring up to the track. I'll get back at you once I put the car back together for some set-up input and give it another go. Peace!

Just bend them away from instead of over the cell, and you should be just fine. The body works really well.

I am sure that alot of people have asked this same question but I am going to ask it again anyway!!!!

Is there any good books or websites on how to setup a 1/12th scale car? Something like the XXX main chassis setup guide was a great help when I raced touring cars and now that I am have a 1/12th scale I need that same information to setup the car.

My car is setup fairly well, but I would like information from different people than who I race with.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
