CRC question
 

Why does my 1/12 carprt knife pull to the left when I grab the trigger? Diff too tight?

Bone - I assume you have checked all the bearings and all of them spin freely. Your differential tightness wouldn't cause this. One thing to check is the offset of the rear axle in the motor pod. Make sure the rear wheels are centered to the center of the car. The next thing is to work with the toe-in and centering of the servo saver. I suggest .010 or less toe-out when measuring half way up the front wheel. Toe-in is something I stay away from. When setting this stuff, I rool the car across a smooth floor and adjust the steering links till it goes straight. Time consuming but worth it in the end.

David,

Thanks,--- Yeah I checked the bearings that is what puzzeled me so much.
My xxxs was doing the same thing(pulluing left) and Poof front left bearing was toast-rightfully so after almost 2 years on it.. Got a new set from ACER on the way..

I will check the axel/wheel center -- sounds like that could be it .. I did not put much care in to checking that when I put it together. Lazy? naw Im just used to larger scale cars, axels come fixed size..

Is the IRS light weight axel set any good? just picked one up.. maybe Ill put it in tonight and look closely at the points you mentioned.

O yeah Im gonna check the toe too..

Re: YRX 12 hard chassis
 

You are correct. The .084 thick chassis is the YSP12HC4H
YRX-12 CHASSIS-4 CELL, hard chassis. It looks like Stormer has them in stock now. I got one from Pit Stop Hobbies coming this week.

Yokomo is supposed to come out with a thick SSG chassis quite soon as well.

Bone - anything from IRS is on stilts.

Has any one with a Corally tried difrent tyre sizes,if so what size seems best,i know RC12L are better with wheels under 50mm,but ive seen most people that have Corallys seem to favor bigger tyre sizes 52mm-50mm,just wondering what other Corally drivers find to be the best tyre sizes..?..
cheers

While on tire subject What size is good for carpet knife?

I like to run around 50mm, my G2 is much more predictable and easy to drive like that. I've seen other corally drivers' lap times increase when their tyres go much below that but L/L3s still go fine.

Sweet!!!!
 

I just got my spashett ed switch blade:D :D Itis so cool,(better than i expected!!)The purple aluminum servo mounts screws, axle, etc looks great! i cant wait to get the turnbuckles and manual...by the way, does anyone have the parts numbers for the turnbucles...im going to call trinity for a manual tomorrow, and ask them what turnbukles i need( if u don't know:D )

Cant wait to get it up and running:nod: :nod: :nod:

as i compared my car to some pictures...it seams that mine is different....i don't know exactly how to explain it but here it goes: On the front end, there are 2 plastic arms on the left and the right...The top one has a threaded rod conecting to i think the steering knuckle(don't know if thats what the part is) and the bottom arm is connected to a plate thats like a centemeter above the chassis...i am wondering what the name of my car is to get the right manual.....It seems that i only need 2 turnbucles so could i use rc12l3 turnbuckles??:confused:

Thanx

Are you saying you have the associated style front end??? if you are then yes you can use the rc12l3 turnbuckles for the steering links. also i think the front end may have been different for the older models of the trinity car, the revolver. if i remember right it has two plastic arms like you described, but im not sure if it used turnbuckles or not. could you post a pic? i would be able to tell you when i see it

Here see if this works...this is from the buy sell fourm...so if it doesn't work, look on either the 14, 15, or 16 page to find a pic.

I saw them at my LHS and tower has them for around 10, so if i could use them, it would save a little money:)

yea thats a trinity revolver...the older model before the switchblade. if you are needing the turnbuckles that go to the servo saver for steering, the rc12l3 ones will work fine.

thanks..that will save me a little money..now i just have to phone trinity about a manual for the revolver, and will be set...i noticed that a standard servo wont fit...o well mini servos arent too much:D the car looks as if it was just produced not an older model(after reading many race reports, it seems that the newest 1/12 isn't nessesary for winning...doesn't seem to be to much new tecnology...or has there:confused: :weird: )

Thanks again
