this is a darkside kit.
How does it feel when racing in mod clases? I cant imagine racinf with so much weight in front in mod class. what more it looks that cg is quite high.
any one tried this in mod?

I havn't raced mine in mod at a big race yet since the new parts (only practice), but in 19 turn it felt good at the champs. I ran an earlier version of the car at Vegas in mod, the car felt decent but had a bunch of issues power wise holding it back. After running mod in practice back home it feels much better then the older version, i look foward to racing it in mod now.
CG wise its not really a problem since the car is so narrow, the slight amount of weight it has higher would if anything make it feel more like a standard car (more roll)....but it does still transition better then any other 12th i've raced.
As far as weight foward, i had my electonics mounted back to play around with it, and it is a great tuning aid to be able to change the weight balence pretty signifgantly. I am still trying to decide what i prefer, but i think back is easier to drive faster, foward may be better for certain condidtions.

So turnbuckle angles, bump steer and ackerman are not steering geometry? Interesting.
Haha. You starting things with my dad? Should we talk? LOL. J/K.

You can't find a better deal plus I am including all spare parts. The MS2.3 is a conversion kit and it is probably the best 12th scale I have ever driven. I have owned it for just a little over a year but used it last year for about 3 months until 12th scale dried up. I haven't touched the car in about 9 months. I am including the bodies and spares. The selling price is firm. $150.00.
The electronics have been sold it is just the chassis and server which is a Airtronics Z3550. Great Christmas present for yourself.

Hi all
I am getting back into the hobby, I have raced 1/10 touring on and off for 5 years, and I am looking at getting into 1/12 once my new trf415msxx is finished, I will be racing at SIR hence the avatar, and was wondering what 1/12 run good there
Thanks
Brian

Wanted to let everyone know that we have been designing 2 new 1/12th kits! Yep not 1 but 2 kits! There is the improved and redesigned popular D12 version labeled the 3D12 that has the mid battery layout with adjustable battery positioning. There is the classic rear battery layout edition with adjustable battery positioning labeled the CD12. Both kits have an all new rear pod design that uses the proven CRC side springs and a brand new mid pivot design only found here at Diggity Designs! Both kits are all new chassis designs!! The servo position has been revised to allow for the turnbuckles to have proper angle! There is a front cutout in the chassis for the AMB transponders that are comonly used in the RC industry but our cutout includes a small strip of carbon fibre still in the cutout for those people, like some I know, that have cut the side tabs off of their AMB transponders. This small strip can be cutout with a dremel in about 30 seconds for those who have a new or noncut AMB transponder. These kits will be available in January 2007 and they will be complete kits only! Here are a couple exclusive prototype pics!

I have to say it looks like the Color that Team Laje uses.

what up sucka,i know they are but thats not what i was looking for.thats your pops? thats cool that you and your dad are into the cars together bro.i was looking for difference in geometry throughout steering throw with all given turnbuckle angles the same.comparing oranges to oranges.i can get different bump and ackerman with the angled mounts also.i wanted to see difference with all angles the same.
you racing minreg sucka?

Yeah, that is my dad. He builds all my 12th scale cars for the big races.
I probably won't make Minnreg. Not enough traction. I think I am gonna head to Ft. Myers to race 1/8th scale. The big 12th scale car.
