Or a Viper VTX1

packdaddy....Have you been up to Hob-y max in durham......sounds like you may the same gentleman they were helping the other day....Jose called me up about my just-stock that I run 1s on my crc 1/12....been going fine for rougly 2 months...probably have 3-400 laps.....already raced the car on 2 sunday weekend events and finished 5th and 4th....at least finished..out of 7..I run no hump pack on mine...everything runs just fine off of the 3.7V 1c cell....

My combo consists of crc carpet knife"Alter Ego" kit
just-stock esc (hobbywing)
motors have been tekin gen 2 17.5, turnigy trackstar 17.5, and d3.5 17.5........
turnigy and venom battery packs
savox servo
tried all types of gearing....have run with 72 and 80 spur and 42-58 pinion....max timing on trackstar has been the quickest....
spektrum radio/reciever
mylaps transponder....

love the setup...if any question feel free to pm me and we could chat

That ESC is a tight fit in the Xti. But if you do go that way make sure to unsolder the posts from the board then unsolder the stupid 10awg wire that comes on the ESC from the posts and solder it back on. If you try to remove the 10awg wire from the posts while still on the ESC you are very likely to overheat the ESC and damage it.

Just so you can see it better...I run no reciever battery pack with my hobbywing just-stock on 1s...no problems at all even after 8 min mains in 1/12th.....

Fastest5th that was me. I've heard about your car/setup.. Just curious to how mine would have cooked the 2nd time? Luck of the draw? Any specific booster or receiver pack you recommend?

pack...I have seen a couple other people running the juststock in 1/12th at our local track....though with reciever packs....probably never tried without....I even run mine with the factory fan removed.....I feel that with such light weight and efficient cars compared to a touring car there really isn't a lot of load put onto the motors which in turn keeps the load off the ESC....I plan on being up at the track today about noon for an afternoon of practice.....the new layout is kind of tough and only living 10 minutes away makes it nice.

your question on the hump pack I really don't know beside I kow there is an extra pain of keeping them charged...One of our really fast 1/12 guys last race had to bow out of the main when his went to start the race and his pack was dead....forgot to charge......If I were you I would try another jusstock or spend the coin on a 1s ESC so not to have the pain of the hump pack.

Gotcha, unfortunately I already purchased the Tekin. If your going to be up there today any chance you'd solder the esc for me? I'm a little hesitant after it all lol.

sure thing......i'll bring my soldering station.....check your messages also.

Or a Team Wave booster would do which is 6V@3A which should be fine for stock and mod.

Can you point me to where I can purchase these looking for two to run with my rbs In Wgt and another for 12 scale thanks

I just checked the web site.

Also I haven't ran my rbs in a while what does the latest update for it does

With the Juststock 45AMP works perfect in 1s applications I use it with no booster with my futaba reciever that works down to 3v no problem a new version transponder and a ultra fast servo. .06 sec at 4.8 vots so when down at the end of a run I'm down to 3.7 so it's a bit slower but it is super easy to drive.

Never had an issue with signals and transponder once I got the newer version. the old big ones don;t like below 3.8v.

If you folks were buying a new 1/12 chassis today, which would you buy? I'm looking at replacing my X12 '14 to try another brand and am looking for suggestions.

Speed merchant Rev8 Pro when it comes out.

Yeah I keep hearing that - but my issue is ordering from SM. Everything seems to take forever.

+1 on the Speedmerchant. Best car I've ever driven. Bruce had been tied up getting things ready for the paved nats. Things should be better now.
