Anyone tried black fronts. They seamed to not gum up like the purples.

black fronts are real good on high bite. They are the same shore rating as a purple but with less natural rubber in them. They dont build up traction like a purple will. They stay consistant. Purples will be better for low and medium bite. I really like the Jaco Lilac tire also for low and medium bite tracks. I change to black when the bite comes up

Hey Jason
My understand you perfer to run the Lilac on low and med bite ,but what are your rear tire ? Do you perfer rear Yellow over Megenta most condition and why? Thanks

Grey and Black is my favorite combo for high bite. Unfortunately we do not have Blacks available (yet) in Pro 38. The bite at the IIC was high and the tires of choice (in stock) were Parma Pro 38 Grey/Magenta or Jaco Yellow/Lilac. We had to run our Magentas very small with a little sidewall glue, and the cars were dialed. If we had blacks available they I think they would have been useful

For stock i like to run yellows with the lilacs in medium bite. In mod and 19 i like the 2x pink front and rear. The yellows seem to keep the rear free and let the car rotate and keep the corner speed up. The Lilac reacts more like a 2x pink as they are consistant through the run but they arent as aggressive as a 2x pink.The blacks free the front up in high bite and they dont drill the nose. I still use yellows in high bite.
In mod and 19 i like 2x pink front and rear. They seem to work well and stay consistant.

Yeah, I heard blacks were MIA at the IIC. I dont think anyone expexted the bit to be that high It seems everyone got there cars working good. What you did makes sense.

just read that Serpent were testing a new 12th chassis of thiers at the IIC.
PetitRC have a pic, but its clearly a CRC GenX.

So any one have pics?

Jeff Cuffs stated on the serpent 1/12th thread that there was no serpent 1/12th at vegas

oh didn`t know about the Serpent 12th thread, still what a shame, was looking forward to that. Thanks anyway.

HI, i am hopingyou can help me with a tire combo for an upcoming race this weekend. I will be using the jaco prsim tires as parma are hard to get up here and I have always had very good luck with the jaco's.

The track layout is identical to IIC, but the carpet is medium bite. I will be running 19t in a L4.

Would double pink front and rear be the best combo, or should i try lilac and yellow?

I am looking fo the safest setup, for instance in touring i know i will be running double pink, double pink/orange as I know it is safe.

Any help is appriciated.

thanks!

Hello There, 6g72tt I used to run a L4 try this setup:


Fronts Jaco Prizim Lilac's
1 degree camber
.020 front spring

Center Spring/shock run The Olive spring to start out with as the bite comes up got to the silver use 30w oil

Dampner disk's use the diff lube that came with the car Associated Siliocone grease #6636

T-plate run the .075 t-plate

Rear Jaco prizim Yellow's
Not sure what motor your running If your running thr 19t Komodo try a 96/32 or 33 with green springs and a F-brush

hope this help's
Mike

I was running Stock with Pro38 Magenta Front and rear. 1.68 fronts glued sidewall outside and inside and 1.74 rears no glue.

Hey Mark,
I won't make it down to RC Plus tonight but I will be racing there this Saturday.

Yes, the largest class at BigDads has been 1/12th.

Hi all,
Im looking at getting into 12th scale maybe. Just wanted too know what would be a fairly competive chassis but cheap(if possible) that i could pick up second hand. Our local club may be bringing in 12th scale but only with stock motors or slower so i dont need the car to be top of the range.

Thankyou!

Hey Mike,

Thanks for the help. what difference will i see running the 0.75 plate as to the 0.63 plate?

Also is that gearing for tires brand new out of the box, or should i true em down, what about gluing the sidewalls? no glue, just outside or both?

1/12 is pretty new to me but i can see why people love it so much. I am running the komodo as well.

thanks
