Basically, it's the power of a 3 cell Nimh with the weight of a 2 cell Nimh. I encased the lipo pack with Team Associated chassis protection film to prevent denting this pack. I'm just waiting for my Novak Servo regulator to arrive so I can attach a small lipo receiver pack. I'll let you guys know how it runs. Hey OD - you wanna be a guinea pig? keep us posted!! |

But the guy we are talking about here is having trouble controlling his car with a 19t, so even if he is running outdoors a slower motor will help him learn. We have been discussing the idea of silver can or something similar here. We have a couple of small carpet tracks and since they have allowed 13.5 in stock, there is no entry level class anymore :cool: To add proof to this discussion: - I am the guy having trouble contolling my car, by the way... - the first 1/12th car I drove was a crc link car with a stock motor. It was after the race was over so the battery wasn't fully juiced up, but still had some runtime left. I had a blast driving that little car!!! :D I hit a couple of pipes, but made it around the track fairly well. One of the faster guys stayed out and drove a few laps with me - I couldn't keep up, but I looked much better during that couple of minutes than I have since I got my own car and started running 19t. Why don't I race in the stock 1/12th class, you ask? There was not enough interest and the class went away... Thanks again for all of your help! I will be racing again in a couple weeks at the two day race in Rapid City, SD. Anyone going??? I... - this is hard to type - can not... make it to the.... North Dakota Prarie Knights Casino race :cry: :cry: :cry: I will let you know how it goes. until then, Jeremy |
Hey it looks like you have plastic explosives in there. Looks cool. Please let us know how you like them. :)

You may be right more than you know. I like touring cars; But: This last weekend, we went to Omaha and my 5 year old son - who usually races a stock truck in the Novice class (offroad and carpet) - ran my T2 '007 with rubber tires and won the Sportsman (beginner) class. :nod: So, I don't know if he will let me run that car again. He kinda likes it!!! :D Signed, Proud Pappa :D |

I've been running touring cars for a little while and just started running 1/12 scale. Just wondering what I should be doing differently with my motors. I've been rebuilding them the same way as my tc. It's been working ok but I need more. I run a co27 indoors on carpet. Anybody have any tips? Thanks :D
