i'm looking for a bumper for my crc t-force.

Hi

Tcut is a mild abrasive car paintwork restorer. It is user to polish and take the oxidised layer off of car body paintwork.

I used this because it is what I had in the garage! I am sure there are many other automotive products that will so the same thing!

Cheers

Mark

... oops

Hey all,

CRC cars completely dominated the Halloween Classic. They took the TQ and top 17 spots on the grid in stock 12th and the TQ in Modified AND the TQ in 19t 12th scale!! A mix of 3.2r's, T-Fources and the almost ready to be released revised Carpet Knife!! My 3.2r was awesome, as it seems were about 20 or 30 other ones!! :lol:

Mark,
I have been shipping to the UK a lot in the past few months. I will touch base with Wym to see if we can set something up. I am pretty easy that way, I like to sell :nod:

You guys in the UK have such long mailing addresses. It sounds like such elligant places by your address.

Australia has been going strong, too!

I should have jammed a MS2.3 in the middle of that pack of CRC cars, but I was sleeping when the entry forms came out. Can't do Cleveland. Besides Snowbirds, what the next big 12th scale race everyone is going to?

I have some new products on the way. One of which is a hollow carbon roll over antenna. Yea, I know that's not new, but I understand that Paragon stopped production. I ran mine the other day with a Spektrum system with no issues what so ever. I have a few others that will help me crash test them... if you know what I mean. I should have them ready in a week or so.

I have another item that is going to make t-bar cars rock on low-med grip non-Paragon tracks. It's still in early stages, but the results are unreal. It's opened up my tire sellection tremendously. I gained as much as a 14 second improvement over the course of 8 minutes. It will be packaged as traction in a baggy. The eta is still a long ways out, but it will be worth it. Can't spill any beans yet... just want to tease some.

:D

...I'm teased :sneaky:

I wonder why......

;-)

Do any companies produce yellow rear tires? I ran black and yellows at the halloween classic yesterday and it worked awesome. I was given a set to run but now I noticed that jaco, crc, and bsr dont sell them.

Can anyone help?

I believe Jaco make a Yellow and Black... What wheels were they on ?

Sorry they are out of stock but at least you know they had them..

Hi,

I'm running ( in France) 1/12th pan cars.

I read an article about about mounting a mini brushless system on a 1/12th like mamba or tekin mini rage.
According to the article, this solution allows to go as faster as a 10 or 8 modified brushed motor (on a little carpet track i suppose)

Did any body have already tried such a propulsion system ? how it works ? how is modified the behaviour of the car (less weight on the pod shoudl considerably change the chassis)

if you want to read the article go on: http://www.teamtekin.com/Mini%20Rage%2012th%20scale.asp

380 size BL in a 12th
 

Vision

05 sized BL with 05 size brushed motors, are currently allowed in 12th Mod class. sometimes they win...sometimes they don't

ROAR over here has a 05 size motor limit, i believe it has to be exact size equivilent. but if that is the maximum only, are we allowed to go smaller? loop hole?

Tekin article is interesting, many pages back in this thread there was a post showing a 540/05 to 380 downsize adapter some company made. this would preclude having to mount a 380 motor in a 12th with one screw. i don't see a mention of how much weight this 380 system dropped from the car and if they added it back?

12th scale has been coming back lately and i don't beleive adding 380's BL or Brushed to the class would help. 12th which is still fragile class when it comes to local racing attendance would become like sedan, which is being oversplit up based on tires, cells, etc. etc.

one guy recently converted a 12th at our track to a 380 motor, 4 months back, he used 6 IB 1400 cells. the car was lighter, incredibly fast and made 8min no problems.

there is already a whining in TC threads concerning redesigns if 4-cell TC gets adopted.

if allowed....12th scales would get redesigned fast with a much smaller pod for 380 motors, there would be no reason to still run the current size 4200/4300's. 1/2 2000+mah or 3/4 3000+mah sub-C's could be used, even the IB1400 cells used in the 18T classes. due to a lighter car and rear end the t-bar would end up getting downsized, with overall less weight the rear diffs would end up on a diet and maybe look like something like a Mini-z diff axle size.

www.laje.se has made a 1/18th scale 380 motor pancar called the Track Drooler, it's a link car pretty neat. something like that could be used on small tracks. who knows what could happen?

actually i think it won't happen. 1/12 ever works with 540 size. 4 elements are great. it's unuseful to come back to 6 elements (even if 1400mA).
I was just curious about the performance of a mini BL system with 4 elements. I like tekin and i would like to bielive what they say but i keep cool with commercial article.

I also don't think that's going to happen, atleast I'd hope so because it could just kill the 12th class. I think you should use the same motors and batteries as the TC's are using. The 12th class is to small for companies to make special motors and batteries for them.

Ah cool. they arent on the jaco web site so I figured they werent out yet. The ones I had were a donut on the jaco rims so i had to grind the sides down but esentially they are the same thing
