I ran the same stagger on my 12L3.

I finally realized that my servo saver on my carpet knife was hitting my Ascari body, so I removed my angled servo mounts and mounted the servo flat on the chassis with shoe goo. So I'm happy about making that decision, because doing that made my car get a lower center of gravity, it removed weight, and now my body can be even lower :D :cool: .

Here's a question I have about my Cyclone speedo I have in my carpet knife. I bought it used from a guy for 50 bucks and it had a big capacitor on it. It's like a half inch by 3/4's of an inch. It's probably not that exact size, but I haven't measure it yet. I was wondering if it's completly neccessary to use a capacitor in stock 12th scale? I've heard some people say you don't need it, I was just looking for some more opinions. Thanks

mike d how you doing you might remember me the big guywith the yokomo at the nats i finished 6th in the a,hey still enjoying the win? i want to trade in the yoke, ive been having hard time on carfpet with the chassis is to thin and they wont have a thicker unit until october can you talk to irs for me !:sneaky: :nod:
congratulations on the win again .

IRS Rugrat

Thanks for the info! Have you run the Rugrat with the side spring/damper setup? If so what was your impression compared to using the T-Plate. EX. Did it handle differently?
I have been driving a Speedmerchant Rev 3 and want to get back to the T-plate car.
The Rugrat is interesting in that you can do both with the same car.
Thanks for you help

Racer DX 6 I dont' think you will need the cap for stock. Remove it and see if you have glitching problems at a long distance when pulling the throttle ALL THE WAY.

I doubt it does any good in 1/12 stock.

Just throw an Associated 12L3 chassis on yer Yok. The chassis is much more suited for carpet and that way you won't need to buy a whole new car. Unless you want a new one :rolleyes: .

thanks racer i was just tring to get hooked up. i know you can run the regular assoc. chassis i just kinda disapointed with the way yokomo has handled marketing the car and giving support to someone the put the car in the A main athe nats and ran well. not looking fro free stuff but a little bit of a heads up on parts would be nice.

speedxl- you could double up the stock chassis, I've seen Brian Kinwald do this with his 1/12 car.

i already trid it it does help but i dont want the extra wieght my car wieghs in at 29.6 oz's already that s including reciever pack.

You might consider getting the IRS Rugrat conversion for your Yokomo.
Thats what I did with my Yokomo.
I had my local Hobbytown get the kit for me. $85. you can see the conversion on the IRS site.
Dave @ IRS is also in the process of making the adj. front AE conversion in 12th scale. This will make a very adj. front suspension.
Also with the IRS Rugrat you can run the car as a T-plate or side damper/spring set uo. ( similar to a CRC 6-Pack, but a dedicated 4 cell chasis and adj. battery postions.)
A very nice Conversion.

Re: Re: Mike D.
 

Mike D: would you know what the part number for that optional #4 rear axle spacer would be? i wanna get more runs out of my tires and that would surely help a lot. thanks. :)

robo: are you asking about the part where the rear axle bearings and rear shaft go through? if yes ...

part no. 4351 - axle height adjuster #4 offset

i think i bought one of these in giocamoto (shaw blvd)

Re: Re: Re: Mike D.
 

ROBORAT - marvi is right, part no. 4351

:D mike d i trying to find out what the street price is for the conversion kit would you happen to have an idea?

Damper question from a 1/12 newbi
 

Can anyone tell me what is hydra fluid? Does it come with different viscosity? And what other fluid can I use instead to fill the damper tube? Thanks a lot.
