I am new to 12scale and am gonna run 12 scale stock.Whats a good rollout for a medium sized carpet track with techincal infield.Not too tight.Also whats a good stock motor for 12 scale?What springs and brushes particularly.Thanks guys!

Racenut: Did you pick up a 1/12 scale ? Which one did you decide on ?

I am going Speedmerchant as its been fast at stockton.The rugrat is equally as fast but I am going the tbarless route.You get that car from Doug.There was 3 heats of 12th scale last night.Imagine went from 3-5 cars in one heat 2 3 heats.Pretty good.I am trying to get others to race 12 stock but pride seems to be getting in the way of some to even try it.We'll see I guess.

Guys,

I have been racing for about 3 years and bought the xxx main guide for touring, but it doesn't really work on the 12th scales.

Can anyone go into some detail about basic tuning about these cars? I have a pretty good setup, but there is some great knowledge on these boards, so I thought I would tap into it.

I am doing fairly well in our area in 12th scale, but want to go faster(who doesn't)...

Thanks in advance..

BTW I am running a CRC...I tried to get a speedmerchant but the local LHS doesn't carry them and I tried calling them about 50 times and no answer. So I have 2 CK3.1 (anyone wanna trade a bloody knife for a sm?)

:)

I've got a Rev.3 for cheap. send me an email @ [email protected]

I also have a Speedmerchant that I'm willing to part with for the right price. It is only two months old and has some blue anodized upgrades.

E-mail me for details.

Thanks,

I'll try moving up from to 40 or 50 to start and put few laps down to see if that helps. 70&80 seems like a lot but that could be the key to getting that extra corner speed since i'm doing everything else. thus far.

remember if your LHS can't get parts for it and carries CRC you have to go mail order if you need parts you don't if they have CRC stuff. that's mostly why so many people stick with AE, you can get parts for them at most LHS. I would rather be racing on the track then sitting on the side calling someone 50 time and still not getting an answer.

I have never had a problem getting stuff from Bruce.

Although I have never had issues getting parts from him, some people have and the on-line store Bruce set up on his site, should resolve that.

I have a 12L3 and the front wheels keep flying off! Are there supposed to be flanged bearing in the front wheels? What gives? Any help would be appreciated!

If you are running TRC front wheels , then yes they need flanged bearings, CRC ,JACO, and TMs all use the unflanged.

Thanks!

Hey gang, I just put up on the website the 1/12th Silva Concepts threaded micro shocks. The oval guys just love these things and they will work on 1/12th scale cars also.

I also have their 1/12th medium spring steel t-bars as well. These will work for both 1/12th on-road and 1/12th oval cars. They are right on the front page.

We will also be carrying CEFX 1/12th bodies. Josh was kind enough to send some our way. I will be putting them up on the site as well under car bodies.

1/12th Jaco and TRC foams are back in stock too. Had to get this in before Shane changes the rules on me. :ha: :nod: :D (Right Shane.)

I've called Doug and he hasn't called back cause the car he is selling me has a disasemmbled rear end. I'll call him tonight and findout what's happening. WOW !! Three heats of 1/12 scale. I guess eveybody is getting ready for teh regionals. Gotta get out there asap.
