Thats enormous, you could set it up so that the car had like 12mm of ground clearance , which is just strange, with the Prototype body on there it would look like a Porsche Cayenne, which is like a 911 with elephantiasis

hehe... easy use ride height spacer/shims adjust to 4mm F&R.
before im had use matrix (45mm) and xceed (48mm) foam tires.
For asphalt, SM hv more hard shore and long life. their rear
wheel hub very well designed.

The local track is pretty rough, so I guess we have to keep in mind the wear rate too.. Most 12th scale tires comes 46 to 50mm..so it's going to be a challenge.

Thanks for all the input

I have be surprise more than one testing new things.

But yes this guide can be a nice starting point. nice work.

Has anybody on here tried a Novak Velocity Lite in 1/12 scale? I am seeing them in the Stormer bargain bin and I don't know if they are worth the time.

lite winds are a great drive. 4.5l or 5.5l will rpm the same but not as aggressive off the corner allowing a lot more drivability for many.

I've run them and found them to be an excellent motor. Very smooth and drivable.

Thanks Bob, I think I may grab one with my next order if there are any left.

I have a better Chuck Norris joke for you though: Chuck Norris once went to The Virgin Islands...

When he came back, they were just The Islands.
