P2, looks like ya had some fun down there..... when are you making a road trip for a warm-up to the Taxas State Championships?

I'm bringing out the Grandpa of all 12th scales again, and was wondering what a good upgrade would be from a 12LS? *acts embarrassed because of the age of the car* :lol: :lol: :lol:

cool.i have always been a big fan of the T bar cars.thats what i was after with my new car.i am working on new center springs now which i think are going to finally give me a complete T bar feel and also let me have more adjustment than the T bar.keep your eyes and mind open dude.i think this is going to be real good.the car is better than expected already.this is going to put the icing on the cake. :sneaky: :sneaky: :sneaky:

can anyone answer this for me or is it too broad a question? ANY feedback would be awesome, thanks guys.

Your car is going to be dialed after a little more time with it...Hell it was pretty damn good at the birds!!

I know in my experience with pivot ball Oval cars the center shock and center shock length were two of the most important adjustments to how the car steered.....So if you can figure springs out for it and get them dialed in your car will be unbelievably good!!

EA

in a nutshell,a bigger tire has more contact patch and more forward traction.the purpose of high roller tires and wrap tires is to allow for less of a sidewall while still achieving a larger contact patch for added forward traction.if you run high roller rears you need fronts also to balance the car out.the diameter spread will be too much.if you run white high roller rears with say purple or black fronts and your car pushes,chances are,your setup needs help.post your setup,type of car and tires and im sure we can point you in the right direction.

we did mess with shock length at the birds.that comment is sooo true.i have 2 positions for the antenna mount to allow for length adjustment and we tested with both.Pdubs car had it set longer and mine was in the short position.unfortunately we were all lab rats for the first time out. :lol: the only problem i ran into at the birds was time.so much to get dialed in in such a short amount of time.we did get it pretty good but i think it has alot more in it.the biggest problem i am finding with isolated rear suspension is that with the T bar cars,your front to rear spring tension is extremely progressive being that the spring tension is from the spring and also from the forward flex of the Tbar.with the link style cars,you lose that all together and now you are stuck with an extremely linear spring.i have the progressive spring tension with the twist of the rear pod,now i want it for compression.with the new springs i will have that but with it being extremely controlable and adjustable for different surfaces. :)

He already had his warm-up in Nebraska this week. He took his car with him to race after he was done with his job he had to do up there. I am thinking of coming up on the first weekend in March, like the 3rd . I am going to see if I can get some more people to come with me.

Hey EA, which front width chassis are you running for your CEFX car?

David, Not sure if I can make it up there before the race. As CarlosG stated, I was in Omaha last week and got a chance to run my carpet car for the first time. At least I plan on going this year!

Its the standard Evo2 chassis as far as I know. I dont have any shims on the front axles. Outside to outside is a little less than 6.5 inches.

EA, do you have the Associated front end on the car?

hey eric,you gonna do any asphalt 1/12th?gotta love the speed of mod 1/12th on asphalt :nod:
