RE: Shooter Chassis
 

How thick is the chassis??? I run on carpet and I am very intersted...I found this chassis on ebay.

How would you rate the flex in comparison to the yokomo chassis in side to side flex and front to back.

For those of you who missed my idea, here it is again. Go about 5-10 or so posts up on this page and youll find the pic

Re: RE: Shooter Chassis
 

The chassis is 1.9mm thick. It is very flexible and quite comparable to the Yokomo chassis...obviously this is simply by "feel"!:D The car had MUCH more steering with this chassis....

By careful if you order online. Check that it is the second batch chassis. In the first batch they screwed up the chamfers on the 4-40 countersinks. It meant that the screws did not clamp up tight. To check ask if the countersinks for the small holes and the large holes (A-arms) are the same...if they are then it is a first batch chassis. Only unscrupulous dealers are selling still selling the first batch because I know there are free replacements available! I just got my new chassis and motor plate tonight!:D

what would you guys recommend for spares to keep in stock for a 1/12, or tuning aids. i will be running a crc carpet knife. thanks

spaz- where are u running at? i am running at Big Boys Toys in Taunton, MA. anyway i am assuming you are running an AE dynamic strut front end, if so, you should be fine, since those things are pretty tough to break, but it cant hurt to have a an extra upper arm and hingepin, as well as the caster shims. for an old style front end just get two extra arms, they are cheap, and they are not symetrical (in that you cannot use the right one on the left side). Also i would suggest maybe some different side springs, otherwise you should be fine, there isnt much that breaks on the chassis itself, normally wear and tear is on the body (espically with the lightweights) and the tires.

hey, i will be running at a local carpet track up here in maine but im still planning on coming down to taunton at the begining of march. i dont have the car yet, but it is the bloody red carpet knife and is all stock i believe. i will order all the springs and the parts you mentioned. thanks

i would suggest coming down sooner, since the carpet season will be over by then, everyone is already itching to run outdoor already, lol, if it wasnt for the group of guys going to the nat's (including myself) then i think we would be running outside sooner).

if you havent order the kit yet, then please hear out my speedmerchant rev. 3 sales pitch, lol :D (and no i am not a speedmerchant driver): the crc is a great car, and is actually very similar to the rev. 3, however the minor techincalities that make the rev. 3 better. 1)the way the rear supsension pivots, on the crc the adjustment to make sure its pivoting straight and not crooked is made at the center, and through tigtning 2 nuts, however on the rev. 3 its done by side links and adjusted through turnbuckles, which not only hold their setting much better, but they are also much more sensative and consistant, thus making the rear end pivot smoother and better overall. Also it comes with the old style front end which is better for carpet, and holds its settings much better, the dynamic strut front end is very inconsistant (and the castor settings are always off, and to get both sides equal you have to place the caster shims differently on each side), and is alot heavier. Also you can move the batteries so you can either have more rear grip or more steering, which is a nice option since 12th scales generally dont have much in the way of adjustments. also Big boys is the home track pretty much of speedmerchant, alot of their drivers race their weekly, including the owner, and thats not to say that if you bought a crc you wouldnt be able to get help from those guys (since they are all very nice and approachable) but also there are all of the speedmerchant parts in stock.

anyway either car you get you will be thrilled, but i just prefer the speedmerchant, and i have run and helped people with both cars, and just found the speedmerchant to handle better and be more adjustable.

Here is a pic of the real Bentley. My idea is that if you took some music wire, and reamed two small holes near the spoiler, and then ran the music wire through the two holes and then mounted a touring car wing on there, it would look more like the one they race in real life. The music wire could be mounted in the T bar in the rear. It may not be the greatest idea, but its an idea

1/12
 

Hi I was looking into buying a 1/12 scale car i run a Tc3 now.I was looking at the trinity swichblade and AE RC10L3. Wich do u think is better? I want one that is not going to cost me over 250 bucks not including electronics.

l3 duh sorry 12L3

My Corally can be very quick at times but because it's over 5 years old the parts are worn and it can be inconsistent. I'm thinking of buying a new 12th for the next winter season (so no hurry) but I don't know what to go for. The L3 has about the same level of parts support as Corally but if the parts are mostly interchangable I might try an AE based car. Could someone please recommend a car with a 6 cell chassis that's good on carpet? and if not AE (or Corally) then the extent of AE parts compatibility. Thanks:)

For show it may be OK, but most people who have show cars want very realistic bodies. The wedge wing built into the Pform Bently is not on the real car so it may look a bit odd with 2 wings. Mounting the wing as you suggested would weaken the T-bar and restrict its movement, if you try this consider attaching the wire to the body, the same as oval wings:)
