i apply this before each run.

i have our DB12 car as coming soon on our website.the conversion has been around for over a year now.it has won and made the top 3 at a bunch of national event both indoors and outdoors.pretty much all the 1/12th cars will work on asphalt.i have not seen many asphalt specific cars to be honest with you.being that the majority of flex is aborbed by a T plate or sidesprings,a flexi chassis does not necesarily make a good asphalt car.Adrian M will tell you the same thing.we did testing on flexi and rigid chassis on asphalt.the flexi car was not as good.Paul Wynn has tried both also and prefers the more rigid car.the stock 12L4 is an excelent asphalt car and is also not a flexi car.the only car that i can see being specific for asphalt is the yokomo which also seems to be suited more toward a large sweeping track due to the further spread battery location.

Marcos,
That's not the OD12, I don't know what Diggity Designs calls that car but it couldn't be further from the design of my car.

This is a pretty long thread, so I'll ask this here instead of trying to search for this...

Has anyone on this forum used a MaxAmps 7.4 Saddle pack lipo in a 12th scale?? I have a CRC T Fource and I'm thinking about purchasing a 6 cell chassis for it and using that lipo pack.


a) Does the reduced weight of the lipo make the car's handling unstable and perhaps undrivable (These things seem twitchy already... I can't imagine how they'd handle with up to a third less weight ..)???

2) How tight is the electronics fit when using this pack?? I utilize a GTX speedo, mini servo (not a micro, ultra small one), and a JR 310 receiver.

3) I would like to see if I can race this setup in our 19 turn class . However, while the other racers would be using a 4 cell IB4200/ 19 turn motor combo, I would use a 7.2 lipo, P2K stock motor (with an Orion V2 stock motor endbell) combo..... I'm guessing, weight differences not withstanding, that my combo would probably have more power and thus be deemed illegal by my fellow racers.... what do you think???

I'm just tired of running nimhs.. out of six 4 cell matched IB3800 packs, only 3 are operating at full capacity after 3 months of racing...the other three packs have bad cells .. I do hit things quite hard with that car, so that may account for some of it ... But I really like the Orion lipos I'm running in offroad, and was hoping that I could utilize that technology in 12th scale..

Any thoughts??

As far as asphalt is concerned I've been running the Slapmaster MS2.3 which actually turned out to be a pretty outstanding asphalt machine but this winter I'm putting up my OD12 against it

Go Mr. Bee!!

car looks nice OD.

Thanks!

I'd have to agree, looks pretty nice OD...

my bad !! Sorry

Thanks very much, guys

Marcos, you'll have to agree it is a slightly different design philosophy

here's the car we'll be running at Vegas:
looks the same but its shorter, narrower and stiffer

I just switched from 1/12th to TC's, but if I see things like this I wonder if I made the right choice...
The car looks great and I saw on the website you're offering some nice building services, it all looks promising.

Nice.

Very-VERY Nice!!! You know what that means don't ya ...
