:lol: I don't know why i like this silly thing so much, but it just tickles me pink :lol:

Practice, man! Practice, practice, practice :D

My MS2.3 with LRP/Neo weighs 865g or 30.4ou with a rx pack and Speed 12. With todays bat's, you are going to have a hard time getting down to that sleek 28ou of the old days. For what it's worth, my stocker weighs 28.6ou.

www.cefxraceway.net, the new C-12 has the ability to use 4 t-bars. the CEFX long, med (kit), short, and of course the standard AE 1/12 sized t-bars. the CEFX med and short t-bars are smaller the the AE. don't know if the CEFX long is the same or longer than the AE? or if it is the same lenght but with the rear pivot ball mount farther back?

i asked CEFX about it awhile back when i noticed the t-bar was smaller and the rear pivot is moved farther back than a standard AE t-bar.

The C12 rear pod is much longer than an AE pod to allow for a larger range of gear selections. With the pivot moved back, this gets the geometry back correct so we have the shorter pod geometry.

We have the other holes so you can use AE t-bars or the CEFX short, med,
long. The kit now comes with the medium. The longer t-bar reacts slower and
is easier to drive but lacks steering and a quick change of direction. It is
very good on high speed, flowing tracks or ones that are really bumpy. The
medium has a similar feel to driving an AE car. The short is really quick
and almost twitchy to drive. It was intended for asphalt racing where
sometimes you need to run a very short t-bar to generate enough steering and quick responce on a slippery surface.

I had to add 1/4 ounce to my car at the birds...even with the big Futaba HRS receiver!! But most have a hard time coming close the the 28 ounce limit!

My brushless car weighs 851 grams with 4300 and Speed 8 HD. My brushed car weighs 830 grams with KD 19t and HD :cool:

Thanks again... you have been great with the info....

I have that same car and I can say that it is still capable of turning some pretty fast laps. For club level racing it would do very well. Luckily I got it with a whole box full of parts and could easily rebuild the car twice minus the main chassis.

I would give Trinity a call and see if they can find any extra parts laying around. If you can get some great. If not, run it until it breaks.

By the way, I have only managed to break one part this year, a lower control arm. I can honestly say that it was as hard of a hit that a stock motor can dish out. Full speed over a corner dot into a concrete wall.

Do you guy's run the gurnie flap on the bodies?

Does it make a difference and if so what.

Thanks

Mine is 773 grams with 42's and a Komodo. with personal trans too. Its a Rev 4.5

What I liked at 'Birds was the 29ou min. weight they inforced. For some reason, they didn't follow Roar's 28ou limit. It must be they realise that it's going to be very difficult to get a car to that limit, so why bother. I was pleasantly surprised that I had to add a 1/4ou. to my stocker, too.

I have used the gurney flap on a 12B and on a CRC LMP. It sticks the rear down more and takes away corner entry steering (if you need that). The Speed 8 & 12 have proper balance, so it's not really needed. The 8HD is screwed to the ground even more.


773g! Did you weigh it with the body too? ;)

Thanks for the response gubbs3.
Trinity's response to my request for parts was "Try eBay". :flaming:
Will 12L4 parts fit on it? like replacing the whole front suspension to a 12L4 suspension, or will a 12L4 axle or T plates fit it?
sorry if these are stupid questions, Im a complete pan car noob.

Thanks,

Jerrit

That's Trinity for you.

Has anybody had any experience with the X stock motor in 12th scale? I'm looking for a range of rollouts to try this weekend and I've never used this motor before (fairly large track 90' x 50').

No I forgot it. :D
