EA, ok, I will do some measuring on mine then. I know I have the medium width front end which is a little wider than the 12L4. If you could pm me the setup you ran I would appreciate it.

Thanks!

Hey Kraig,

I think Josh wanted to start a CEFX thread after he got home from the Winter nats now that he is caught up on 12th scale stuff and has kits. I'll send you my setup and post it there once he gets a thread going.

Here is what I ran at the Birds.

.20 front springs with .010-.015 of sag when sitting on the table ready to run minus the body.
10 degree front caster blocks with all the shims forward.
2 degrees camber left and right front.
.063 Tplate with no center screw. 30 wt center shock oil with olive center springs.
15K kyosho diff lube in damp tubes.

AdrianM, Get Larry P's TC to him so he'll stop making me work too hard in 1/12.

I'm too old for all the stress :tire:

Good job Paul :nod: Thanks to you, EJ, James, Jim and Mike for the great results we are seeing. The car is ok, the team drivers are awsome!! :cool: :nod:

TC? what the hell is TC? :lol:

Wow a CEFX thread :-D

Mine runs the standard chassis, and having compared it to a medium chassis the front width is a smidge different. You'd need precise measurements to tell them apart.

The standard chassis can run the L4 front end with the L4 carbon brace - the medium and wide chassis need wider braces. Two options there - Josh does sell medium and wide carbon braces. Or use the CRC Pro brace and space it out to fit ;-)

When the CEFX thread starts, I'll post the set-up sheet I've been using!

Off to experiment with spacers under t-bar pivots now...

Cheers, Mark

thanks for the feedback on the tires jason, here's what i'm running at the present time.

-crc lowered pod
-no fluid on damper plates, there us some teflon on each side of the upper pod plate between the damper plates
-i've run everything from jaco white and grey rears and crc white and pink rears
-.020 springs up front, associated front end with 10* caster blocks and both spacers behind arms

try the .075 fiberglass T bar with the center screw out.put 5000 wt 1/8th scale diff oil on the king pins and also 7000 wt diff oil on the washers.run your rear tires at 1.800 and your fronts at 1.700 and use the double pink front jaco wraps with yellow rear wraps.i like the wraps better than the high rollers and standard tires.run 3.5mm ride height front and rear.this should help alot.no rear damping sounds like what is making your car push.

Who makes the Olive center springs you used on your setup? Remember I no nothing about 1/12th scales so this is a total adventure for me. :D How does the CEFX body Johs has out run compared to the Protoform Speed 12B?

Novak GTB 4-cell ESC pictures installed?

Anybody installed one yet in a 1/12th car? The external capacitor is half the size of the ESC... :nod:

I'd love to see a few installations. (and where to mount the attached "garbage can") :lol:

Thanks,
-Bob
