Thanks Robbie, I installed a new board and so far so good. The team at RCA helped me out with diagnosis as well and lets hope it holds out for a while.

Thanks!

I just got everything pretty much figured out and is a blast to run. I found a couple places that are smooth are not too dusty to run. I just gotta get some small cones and make a course. Feel like i did a pretty good job with just a spray can and tape. My cuts and mounting skills could use some work, but not trying to wreck the thing for more practice

This time of year is torture while theClub is closed for the summer.

Does anyone run a fan on their motor? Was thinking of putting one on my GT12F car to push it a little harder.

Those who run 13.5....is .3-.5 diff of fast lap to a 17.5 the general target?

What spur and pinion is everyone running on their GT12F setup?

if you are talking about foam tires with the GT12F then you need a roll out number rather than just pinion and spur as the final drive will change with diameter of the tire as the foam depending on where the diameter you start it at and as it wears. Also the gearing depends greatly on your motor and track size. The larger and more open flowing the track then you can gear a little higher but if is short tight and technical then you will want a lower gear ratio/rollout to help you get up to speed quicker.

For me, I use primarily Motiv MC4 motors on a 120x50 I want to say track. If its a flowing layout I have run up to a 103-104 rollout and finished a 6 minute run at 165 deg F. On our current layout which is a little more technical I have been messing around with my motors (timing and brand) and changing things around to get the best for an upcoming race so I have been anywhere from 90 to 98 for rollout and coming off the track between 140 and 170 degrees. I try not to stay in the 170 range but it did happen a couple times while I was trying things. To get to the rollouts above I generally run a spur in the mid 60's to low 70's depending on what rollout I am trying to get to and what diameter the tires were at.

Have you seen any degradation in motor performance running it up to 170F? Have you checked the gauss?

What about gear diffs, anybody running those in their GT12 cars?

Almost anyone that can get their hands' on them - AMX has a fantastic unit.
They are a trick tuning tool for rubber tire - I don't think it would be as much for foams.. Spool is faster.

Is the Xray x12 23 ever gonna be available? anyone seen any yet?

Email RCAmerica and they’ll give you a date. I suspect that’s it until the next version though. The X1 is also out of stock.

US version out of stock at the factory as well.

what kit is comparable to the xray x12 23? quality, parts availability?

Depends on what surface. Carpet, Awesomatix A12, Xray, Roche and CRC are all great cars with the A12 being the car to beat at the moment. Asphalt I don't run, but would think the same cars would work great. Right now indoor 12th season is slow, so distributors and shops don't like to hang onto kits that may be replaced or updated over the summer. That may be a reason for the slim picking at the moment.
