hi guys , I like to know what is the normal peak voltage of a 3300 sanyo 4 cell pack?


i normally will get 6.5v peak but today after cycling 2x and trayed ,my 3300 peaked at 7.0v!

not tracking straight
 

guys there wasnt any thing wrong with mo's car at the nat i was running the only yokomo in the field and had some wandering problem the first day of practice and solved it by creating xtra play in the steering letting the car track by itself and as far as the corally guys shad was the only one dialed in. i finished sixth thanks to first turn pile ups.

i found the same thing happens when i tray my batts... that's why i just bring them down to 3.6 volts for 4 cell and 5.4 for 6 cell...

also, sanyo's peak higher than GP's...

i have already trayed 0.9v per cell . So what's the normal peak voltage you will get for your 4 cell 3300 sanyo?

I probalby should stop posting things right when i wake and and right before i go to bed, lol. :)

My bad, Alex Lopez won stock 12th (i should know since i was pitting across from him, lol) at the carpet nats.

Where did you get that avaitor?

Rear Axle`
 

I saw a post a while ago of a hobby shop that had low cost graphite rear axles. The hobby shop was in Warsaw NY. I live about an hour from there and would like to go down there and pick one up. I can't find the link to the hobby shop. I did a search and read back to page 140 but no luck.

Building and setup tips
 

Hello guys im in the process in buildong my yoke yrx 12 wce can some one give me some building tips and a good set-ups for higg bite tracks ?? Plz suggest what turn motor and gearing. Speaking about gearing is it good to run 48pitch on 1/12 cars ?? :confused: cause i usually see the 12th scales running 64pitch :confused: :weird: is there any reason for this ??

Hope you can help me out.

- Use 64 pitch, I can't even figure out why Associated and other companies would include a 48 pitch with their cars??:flaming:

- .018 or .020 front springs, start with .018 if you need to reduce steering everywhere then goto .020's.

- .075 T-bar .... it seems to work best everywhere

- purple/grey for carpet, purple/pink for asphalt.... however purple/grey also works well on high bite asphalt...

- set rear pod droop to be flat with the chassis, if you need more off-power steering then allow for 1/2-1mm of droop.

Are you running stock, 19T spec, or full blown mod? what is the size of the track??

full blown
 

Hey............long time no cccc :D ;) i would like to be able to keep up there all using in 8t-10t motors 4 cell. Got any suggestion ??

Hope you can help me out. to help you out i posted a couple pages earlier my set up and gearing for my yokomo yr12. it finished sixth in a main at nationals in north carolina. on bite try it out see if it works on youre track

David R,

Thanks for your opinion on the spring to shock oil weight, next time I'm at the track I'll try it out and see what I like.

IRS132 diff/axle on a RC12L?
 

I've got an old RC12L (no LW, L3, or anything else :D) that I'm going to be running with Peter & the rest of the crew at Redmond Hobbies on asphalt. My current problem is figuring out how to install my IRS132 (large diff D-ring, fiberglass axle, clamping left side hub, 3-bolt setup, etc.) setup to the rear pod. I'm not sure what order to put the parts on, the spacers, and other parts than what it came with on. I know I need to pick up an un-flanged bearing to go in the center of the spur gear, and obviously the rings go on either side of the hub. I know that I need to put a flanged bearing in either side of the right side (diff side) hub. after that, I get confused...

The Associated RC12L instructions (circa late '80s) are no help. They had me putting thrust bearing assemblies between the pod and left hub as well as the pod and the diff assembly. :lol: I figured out that the RC10L SS "axle spacers" (or something along those lines) replaced them so I picked up a pair of them. I'm not sure if I still need to use them, just use one on the clamping hub side, or what. Also, there's that stepped "spacer" thing that came with the IRS parts. And then I suspect I need something on the outside of the right side hub before I put on the nut to adjust the diff with. Some sort of a cone washer setup? I did pick up an Associated #3435 "Belleville Washer" setup, but it looks like it's supposed to sandwich the wheel and everything over towards the diff, and I *think* that I'm supposed to be able to take the right side tire/wheel off without having to lose diff adjustment. Any suggestions? Maybe an exploded diagram/picture or two? Link to a PDF of assembly instructions for some other 1/12th scale that uses IRS parts on the rear?

Once I get the rear pod done then the other big question is if I should bolt it to a fiberglass or graphite chassis. I've got both in my pile of parts. :D I suspect graphite, but the fiberglass would flex more and that might be better for asphalt. Comments? I'll be running it with an "old style" front end (I've got a couple of them).

One last one for now... Suntan lotion vs. Paragon? That Paragon is nasty stuff from what I've read (and smelled). What's the story with Suntan lotion? Any partiular brand? Particular SPF? :lol: Alternately, I've got some Trinity Touring car tire cleaner and traction compound stuff, but it's for rubber tires. I'm guessing I would NOT want to use it on the foams? Any other less nasty foam tire stuff that might be better/easier to deal with than suntan lotion?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Charles,

Only a few comments. I know nothing about the IRS rear diff.

Suntan Lotion from what I have read does not work as well as tire sauce. I would get the stuff for foam. If they run the race right, they will have 8 minute heats and mains so go for the good stuff. Zip Grip, Paragon, CRC, or the orange stuff. They all work well, I am going to try the Coppertone spf 45 this weekend, but traction has been an issiue for me up unitl last week.

I only run 1/10 pan car against the TCs, I bring my 1/12 every week, but I am the only one. :( . On Raod 1/12 starts this winter.

Fike, Have Fun racing your 1/12
