R/C Tech Forums - 1/12 forum

It is hard to get and it costs a lot of money - so very few people have the practical hands-on experience with it that would drive increased sales and popularity. Not sure why this is surprising or confusing.

it ususally goes for 160-170€ ...

I´ve been running the Black Art chassis for almost 3 years now and never had to raplace a chassis due to warpage (or any other reason). Even hard hits don´t require you to rebuild the car. Based on my personal experience I´d say this is one of the best investments you can make for your CRC car.

170 euros translates to just over 190 US, tough to justify spending that much on one part when you can buy a new kit for just 9 dollars more.

Made some more progress on my old genX. The battery relocation brackets fit nicely and the new shock mount and beefed up upper pod plate fit well. Installed the long arm setup on the front yesterday, and finished up the esc wiring this afternoon. Unfortunately the output shaft on my little servo is much smaller than I expected, so my servo saver does not fit. I'll either have to order a new servo or a tiny servo saver in order to get this old car on the track. The only servo available locally that will fit is a hitec 225mg which will get it on the track for Wednesday practice, but I've been reading that it isn't a very good servo. Granted, Mt car is old and so are all of the electronics, so it fits the theme...haha

Its the distance your car will move with one revolution of the motor.

Will you reply back with your results? I am quite curious about this as well.

Also about the weight it adds to that servo. If anyone can measure that it would be great!

It adds 1.1 grams of weight to the servo and only 2 screws to secure it to the chassis. Team Associated 12R5 servo mounts weigh 1.0 gram but use 4-6 screws to mount the servo to the chassis.

That's pretty cool...I'll have to see if that lines up well with the X-ray chassis holes. Will go nice with the rest of the orange in the car :)

If the Xray chassis holes are drilled for the 9650/3650/951 it would work. The holes are about 42.8mm apart (tried to get close with a caliper). The widest part is 48.3mm (material past screw holes). Hope this helps.
