So parma has a large diameter rim like the CRC High Rollers?

Yes...It mades it debut at the Snowbirds with some good results.

What different T-plates do they make for the CEFX? Any part numbers would be cool as I can start getting my parts list ready to place an order in a week or two. Anyone run the spring steel type t-plates like many of my buddies do on oval? Not sure if they are good for 1/12th or not.

Question for you EA: Did you skim a layer off the top of the tyre after every run or did you just start them and let them be?

The Tplate that Josh has is shorter between the pivot mounts than the standard ones. He makes them in .001 increments from .060-.075. Also the material around the back part that mounts to the lower pod plate is wider so you are a LOT less prone to breaking a Tplate than with a standard associated one.

Just trued them to those sizes and ran them. I did rotate them every run to make sure they wore even all around.

What would be a good weight of oil for the Damper tubes? 10K? Also whats the procedure to fill them or rebuild them which ever is correct?

Hopefully they will hold up to laquor thinner better then the CRC ones so I can mount my own tires. I find the old contact cement method of gluing much easier to work with then CA.

I am not sure what they are using to mount them with. You may ask on the Parma thread in the Team section on here. Paul (Chicky) gets on there and answers questions each day.

Man, that slayed me. Thanks for the great laugh.
I too, have come over to the metric side. My setup spreadsheet is in metric. This way, if anyone sees it, they won't be able to understand. It's "in code".

Here you go Bob. An installation I did in a Gen X and one in one of my own cars. These are regular GTB esc's but I modified them a little and they are basically the same thing as the GTB 4. For the giant capacitor, I replaced the wires with 18 guage to make it easier to route them to the cap, but they are almost the same length as the stock 16 ga that the esc comes with. I actually like the big cap since it gives you a way to balance out the weight of the giant esc :lol: The cars are balanced on the front chassis only, ignoring the imbalance of the motor pod. I don't know if this is the best way but so far I have found it to be the best compromise. A brushless installation doesn't have to look like a bowl of spagetti! :cool:

That is a fantastic job you have done with the wiring OD. Iwish mine looked like that.

OD-You gotta show some pictures of the sweet wire cover you made.

I know that my car is WAY over weight. But I would like to know what your cars weight, mainly looking for people with brushless because that is what i have. Mine is like 880g.

Thanks

Hi guys, Im new to 12th scale racing and im looking for some advice.
I own a Trinity Switchblade Spachette Edition 12th car and am wondering if I can use it or would I be screwed if i broke it.
Will say an 12L4 front suspension fit on the chassis? or should I just sell it and find a car with parts readily available?

Thanks.
