Hi,
You can try reducing your caster by moving one spacer to the back and also try camber of 1deg. For less steering on power try a softer centre shock spring.

Jimmyd - my understanding is that less caster(all spacers in front) would get me more off power steering??is that correct??or would less caster has the opposite effect on 12th scalers

Correct. Less caster will get more turn in. But you need to put spacers to the back to reduce caster.

Jimmyd - from what i see putting spacers on the front will make the upright more to 90deg angle while putting spacers back would make it lean toward 45deg angle??so which is less caster and which is more??hehe i'm confused:confused:

thanks again

Try it and see. Putting spacers to the front, your upper arms will shift back and your kingpin will lean back more from vertical = more caster.

PLZ HELP
 

Hey guys i really need some help, i need the part no. for the yokomo yrx 12we ssg conversion for the 12L3, and can you give me the cost of the conversion.

Wow,
I used to just shave the edges of my ride height adjusters, but last night I worked on grinding out the actual rear pod, the axle is really free now.

Now if I could only build a smooth diff :lol:

Paperboy: The best way to do that is to place the ride ht. adjs. in the pod and then run a reamer through the ride ht. adjs, while they're in the pod, that way your bearings always remain square in relation to one another. It also helps take into acct differences in the size of the ride height adjusters as they come from the manufacturer. Some a little larger or smaller than others.

tried the spacer forward and backward....forward is less caster(more vertical) sapcers back more caster(less vertical).....am i right or do i really need prescriptive glasses:D ...can someone help here coz it seems to have different views on caster based on where the spacers are......another question would be "less caster(more vertical) would have more off power steering(turn in) , right??

With the standard parts you are correct..... with the IRS caster pieces (primarily used on 1/10th oval cars) Jimmy is correct.......

But with the standard Associated dynamic strut front end spacers to the front = less caster, and spacers to the back = more caster......

impactplayr- i'm using Associated front end...so i guess jimmyd might be using the IRS ones...by the way does effect on caster differ with 12th scale and TC

Question, what kind of front end is on the RC12L3, the "old school" or the dynamic strut?

stock RC12L3 is dynamic strut...only kit that has old skool as stock would be speedmerchant aprt from the older Assoc. kit

Actually, the Six-Pack and CarpetKnife from CRC can also be ordered with the old front-end. They call it "retro"

I got my servo and servo savers in the mail today. I finally found the small kimbrough saver online :) . I have the reciever and two of my packs also, all I have to wait for now is my car, other battaries, and esc :D .
