Hey guys. I have a question for you. I plan to start racing 1/12 and my lhs races them as either 6 cell/stock motor or 4 cell/modified with a receiver pack. There is an unwritten rule that thou shalt run a 14T, if modified. Anyways, they run both configurations together, as there aren't that many cars. I'm trying to decide which way I should go. I plan to race with a CRC Six Pack, so it will work with either configuration. On the surface, it seems like the 4 cell/modified would be the way to go due to the weight reduction, but then again, 6 cells has more voltage.
Any input would be appreciated! |
shoot a 14t would not last around here for long. WE run 10, 11, 12 with 3000's in 4 Cell mod.
I like 4 Cell better lot less wear on the com and tires. Then 6 cell stock. |
JeffC: I had a Carpet Knife (v3.0 converted to v.3.1) for about 1.5 years. I found the car to be very easy to drive (once I made the transition from Touring car to 1/12). I used Losi medium Hydra Fluid in the damper tubes. I raced at "The Track" in Maryland. This is a rather large indoor carpet track. Several of the other drivers there are CRC sponsored drivers and that's what they recommended.
I sold that car about 3 months ago, but I'm considering getting a Corally (just to be different) for this season. |
Harsh guy---- I personally think if you are going to run mod then 4-cell is the way to go.. I would also say if you re running 6-cell stock and have a choice to run 4-cell mod to try it . In the long run you are going too save the equipment better.. At the nat's here is my setup for SWR raceway. Motor Reedy TI 9 Turn double. Geared 23/104 Reedy panasonic NIMH Associated car . 20 front springs.. 3 degrees caster.. 60 wt shock oil. With the GReen spring.(softest) .063 t-bar without the center screw... I ran #4 ride height carries and no spacers under the front end.. I ran 10 degree blocks on the front end.. I used dampner tubes instead of the dampner discs. I put Trinity red stuff in them and ran brp silicone on my front kingpins. Tires.. I ran purple fronts size 1.73 I ran pink rears size 1.90 I also used paragon for 15 mins on the tires wiped them off then applied coppertone 45 sun tan lotion until the heat before i was up then wiped dry and much as possible... Hope this helps you guys Mike Blackstock http://www.rcracing.com/msgthread.cf...turn=20#134286 |

Are you running 6 cells or 4 cells?

You might also check out the Calandra cars. They're based on Associated parts, but less expensive. http://www.teamcrc.com/CRC%20Main.htm |

I race with a bunch of buddies and we're racing this Sunday. I plan to race 1/12 and F1 at Castle on 9/16. Some of the guys I race with will be at Castle too, so hopefully we'll add another 4 or 5 cars to the 1/12 race.
