I have searched this forum, as well as some setup sheets. Seems like something in the range of 42-48mm (1.65"-1.89") is quite common. Am I on the right track?

Thanks!


it has been a while, but if memory serves me, you are in the ballpark. I think we ended up around 50mm at the big races.

Bought the balance tabs to check weight distribution on my link2 and it was considerably off.. Added just enough weights on one side to balance. My tweak even came out perfect via both wheels lift at the same time. Thanks to everyone who helped! Anything else I can do to bring my car one step to dialed?

Default easy question here:

i have a fairly easy question: what's a decent tire truer to get without breaking the bank? i'll probably only be cutting a set every couple of weeks and am only running stock...also i already have a power supply capable of 30A so i dont need an AC truer...

My 3racing tire truer does a good job, good value for money.

UK 12th Nationals Live

next meeting is Plymouth on 15th & 16th January[/QUOTE]

In an effort to keep 12th scale racers and followers up to date and in the loop with news and results, the national series will now be covered online.

From the Tamworth national onwards you'll be able to visit pages on Facebook and Twitter to see what's going on if you're not at the meeting!


On the facebook page there will be round by round updates including images of the qualifying lists as well as notable occurrences and things that happen worth mentioning. Following each meeting you'll also be able to see photos, videos and reports from the event.

To access the facebook page, Click Here


Twitter will be used in a similar way, but due to its more basic nature it'll be limited to short text updates on the movers and shakers in each round and the finals.

To access the Twitter page search for '@BRCA12thScale'

Best bet is to look on corallys site and see,not sure about the 12m though,probably the best thing to do is to just get the 12x or go for The newest one the 12sl,amazing car,I got one my self and setup are easy on it.

Those look like the lightweight Exceed with black wheels.
If so, not the best wheels out there, by a long ways...





The new TRC Prime tires look interesting.
