In addition to the bar cars, the CEFX Griffith. Ok, it's really just a conversion but hey, it's another option.

Plus I hear Darkside is running prototypes of a new car.

Pan Car Tuning Guide
 

Anyone have a pointer to a setup and tuning guide for pan cars that is comparable to XXX Main Chassis Setup Guide or the Xray T2 Setup Book?

A conversion car:

What receiver is that?

It's not my car, but I believe it's an 'old' Nosram Gemini (same as LRP phaser).

who has the best price on the gen xl or the gen xl conversion kit?

Try this.

Well, some folks aren't into buying a new car everytime one come out. It isn't about "going retro" more than keeping more folks racing. I have two T-bar 1/12th scales and could not race them due to the "LiPo only" rules. I could not justify buying another car due to being deep into other classes. So, if $65 dollars can put another competitor into the class instead of $220+, would you rather have more or less competitors to race against?

Those racers with T-bar cars need to think outside the box. Until Speedzone came out with their 1s Saddle Pack, several local racers have been using a stick LiPo mounted lengthwise down one side of the car with no ill effects. It isn't pretty, but it works quite well. This was with an AE 12L4 and Serpent S120 T-bar chassis.

I did the same thing (eventually) with my 12L4. I have the battery on the right side of the car and all my other electronics on the left side. Had to add some weight to balance the car but it is working. Can't wait to get my hands on the 1-cell saddle pack to put things back right in my car.:nod:

For actual tuning, Richard Chang's is by far the best of these and is very useful...to a point. It's only a single page and contains very little detailed information. There are some things that are missing, for example, bump steer. What happens when you shim side links only on one end?

Richard also mentions under reactive caster, "...However, can cause more tire scrub in a turn and slow you down if not setup properly." Ok, how do you set it up properly? No explanation is provided.

Thanks for the reply. Still looking.
