Yes and no, if your track is running tc's you should have no problem running 1/12 pan cars from a standpoint of size, unless its a 1/8 track:lol:. The no part depends on two factors, how smooth is the asphalt, and is it treated with sugar water/soda. If the surface is very uneven or has lots of cracks/breaks in the asphalt running a 1/12 pan car will be challenging. Remember that tc's have lots of suspension travel and a much bigger wheelbase which allows them to absorb these bumps easier. Same goes for the track prep, little or no track prep will make finding traction difficult. Its not impossible to run 1/12 on a rough unpreped track, but it does take some of the fun out of it:nod:

Whats the issue if its a 1/8th track.
Thanks Its not really an issue per se but the only 1/8 tracks I ever seen are huge and flowing and would be somewhat boring for 1/12 imo. To me the fun part of 1/12 is tight turns and quick direction changes:nod:. |

So it's okay to misrepresent the item to help close the sale... just so I understand what you're saying... 'cause that IS what it sounds like.
a) spamming the board about that damn body, and b) forbidden links to an e-Bay auction Sounds like a job for Super Moderator :nod: |
I removed the posts and my responses. They really didn't belong here.
Thanks, Scottrik. |
That was great. Thanks scottrik and trips that made me laugh out loud

Good 1st 1/12
Hi
Am looking at getting my first 1/12 and would like some recommendation on a chassis. I will be looking at second hand chassis so i was thinking about a DB12R or RC12R5. I like the RC12R5 as parts seem to be easy to come by (my location is Australia). I will be starting with a high turn motor to get the feel of the car as well as setup before going too fast. What are the general thoughts on these chassis? Thanks |

Oh...about three millemeters off the deck. Any lower isn't legal :sneaky:
I guess i formulated the question wrong. Lets see... What motors are being used in the modified class in the World's? Like how many turns? Brushed or Brushless? |
