I use to run a MTX-3. Now I only run 12th scale. Sold all my nitro to run 12th. I just figure not to let them intimidate me because they are bigger and heavier. It may seem like I am hacking, but when you both come out of a 180 and go into a sweeper. You wanna be the first one their to have a head start coming out of the sweeper, since they have more ponies under the body than I do.

im going to be out racing this coming weekend for more test sessions with the 1/12th.paul wynn and i are going to be running them and trying all kinds of new setups and also new tires.i changed over to parma tires now and i need to get a feel for them.i ran BSR's last time out with the big wheels and really liked them.i think the parmas are gonna work real good i just need to shim the snot out of the rear axle.the new parma wheels seem pretty kick ass so i should have it figured out in no time.im never short on motor so all i need is to nail the tires and im set.pauls car was an absolute animal last time out where mine kinda sucked.im gonna start with the setup i ended up with on his car and take that to another level.im really enjoying not having to set the tweak on the car.the damn thing hasnt been set for tweak since the snowbirds and i checked it after the last race day and it was still dead nuts.now i get to spend more time concentrating on tires and set up. :nod:

Brushless 12th

Well I figured I'd try my Mamba Max 7700 in my CRC 3.2r. The install was easier than I thought it would be.

Going to try to hit the track this week....first time outside with the 12th so should be interesting. Not sure how I should gear it but I'll get it figured out. I also have the 4600 motor to try if the 7700 is too much.

Pic of the install and the track I'll be running on.
