WOOHOOOO BIG TEN BABY
 

YEAH the Big Ten really needed a national championship.... and there was no better way to do it than against(so they say) the best team in college football history on a (was it) 35 game win streak?

The problem in the BIG TEN is that the top teams always picked each other off or got bit by an underatted inter conference team.

I would like to take a look at the front end parts you have this Sat.. Will you be at the track?

David- Any dates possibly on the new diffs and castor blocks? I emailed Dave Irrgang on if he would make me a black graphite axle D-ring 12 ball diff like yours but of course he wouldnt :( , lol. So i am just waiting until then, although i have been very pleased with my current pinned one, the graphite axles look really trick, and are more resistant to getting grooves in the axles when bearing go, lol. And i was planning on running a dynamic strut front end at the paved nats this year and hopefully i can get my hands on the IRS version. Also what size is the screw that clamps the claming hub, mine is almost completely stripped out so i cant get it tight fully consequently my rear track gets adjusted slightly during the course of a race, lol.

Thanks! and hopefully you can come up soon and race at BBT again!

Switchblade- I'm not sure i get your question, could you clarify for us. Are asking how to mount the ball caps on the front suspension ball studs? If so simply press down from the top of the ball cap until you hear a click. This of course assumes that you have mounted the ball studs to the front suspension plate in this example. You may need to get the plier out and gently squeeze the ball cap on while holding it in place. Usually if you try to mount the ball cap on from the side it slips around but if you can do it then you can simply rotate it back to an on top orientation.

Stormperson - Have you spoken to the owner of SpeedMerchant, regarding importing some Rev3 kits into Australia?

I also tried sending an email direct through their website, it appears they do not want ot sell kits, which is a shame as it looks like a very nice car.

I am so sorry, it slipped my mind completetly. I hadnt seen him for a few weeks after we had the conversation, so i forgot, i am really sorry. I am going to the nats with him this week so i should get a chance to talk about it with him. whats your email again? and were you able to contact speedmerchant through the site? or..?

Stormperson, thanks email is [email protected]

And no myself and two others i race with have never received any replies

I am sorry to hear you guys are having a problem reaching Speedmerchant. But you can buy from hobbyetc on line. I'll check and see if they have kits in stock and get back to you.

You wont be dissapointed with the car. I let a guy who has been struggling in 12th scale all year use my Rev.3 for the whole day last Sunday and he was pleasantly suprised how fast and especially how smooth the handling was. SO much easier to drive than his Carpet Knife and his modifed RC12L3. Some of that has to do with my car being very, very good right now. Its basically perfect as far as I am concerned. He went faster than 4 guys who regularly beat him every Sunday. So he basically moved from the middle of B to the bottom of the A-main with my car.

Rayhuang - Yes i saw you can buy online, but we were hoping to get dist rights in Australia, to help promote 12th in Australia, Currently there is only one source of 12th cars and parts, while they are pretty good, variety and competition are the spice of life.

Hey rayhuang

What kind of track are you running on??? Whats your spring setup, front and rear??? I'm thinking about getting a Rev.3. Most of my racing will be done on carpet, but when I'm home it'll be on an indoor asphalt track(SoCal).


Thanks

Current set-up
 

My Rev.3 is set up for good steering, but more than anything-to be smooth and totally neutral in handling. I have run on three very different carpet tracks and the set-up has stayed very similar.

try this. O.22 front springs, Blue side and a Wolfe Black on the center with 80 wt. Ae oil. Med Hydra in Dampenr tubes. If you want more steering in-go to 0.20 front springs. If you want it more aggressive in transition, go to white sides.

I think you'll really like it. I is very tuneable chassis. And easy to tune.

Ray

I was running the white springs and 22's in the front, but ended up going back to orange and 20's in the front. With doube pink tires in front. I liked the turn in of the white springs, but it would push in the middle of the turn.

need a hand...

Got the Ti dampening post from Paragon, but for the life of me can't figure it out. Can anyone lend a hand?

BTW, I am running a Yok YRX-12 Worlds. Just needed some more adjustability....

Any help would be appreciated!!!!

I normally run white sides, .20 fronts, as well as purple fronts but with saucing the inside 90% of the tire. it gives you alot of steering but it is very driveable.

rayhuang...

Are those spring suggestions for a car with the old skool front end or the strut front end?

T

Hey rayhuang

Thanks!!! I'll start my spring order with that setup, and go one spring on either side to get going.

I thought Rev.3's were all old school front ends. I've got a 12L3 with the New front end but I like the feeling of the old school front end. I'm about a half second faster per lap.

Thanks Again!!!
