P2, are you getting a reciever pack? Let me know.. Ronnie Why do you need one, didn't you Fuku battery have 5800mah:lol: :lol: Serioulsy....don't need one for our low grip/dusty track. Carpet is another story though. PP |
Ronnie, just order us a few.
Switch, comes pre-installed, or goes inline of red wire, about your comp. speedo, look a page earlier i think, some guy says something about it(may be on this page) p2, cause me and ronnie need all the juice we can get to motor by you on the straight:lol: :smile: :sweat: |
Hey guys, I'm gonna be buying a 1/12 scale car, basically just to have for when I go to carpet tracks every now and then. How does the Yokomo 1/12 car stack up to the competition on high bite carpet?
|
Hey Randman, I ran the Yok 1/12th and it did pretty good on carpet. But I just got the IRS Rugrat Conversion kit for it and it works even better now. On the conversion kit you need a few parts from a RC12L3 to get it to work though. I already had one so it was no problem. Anyways, I liked the way my Yok drove on the track. And now I have my Rugrat setup to drive with the same feeling. But my lap times are faster. Maybe if you can get the stiffer Yok Chassis that Tosolini had.. that would help out the car.

what are you using for a set up on the rug rat?

I think one like posted a few pages back. Now I'm not 1/12th setup pro but this is what I run so far. .020 springs up front. -1° Camber. 2shims to the back on Caster. Servo laid down. Batteries back. Mugen 5000wt on rods. 30wt shock. Olive spring. Silva T-Plate. Rollout near 1.64. (Monster Stock) I can't think of anything else right now. Chassis level (no arch.) Can't think of rear pod droop. But it does droop more than most. Rear ride height .5mm higher than front. Front is around 3-3.5mm. Parma Speed8 Lt body. Tried the Blue spring on shock. But car pushed alittle. Gonna test it again this weekend. I'd like to try the IRS frontend for the car. But gotta order one first. I'm gonna try a few other things as well this weekend.
Forgot to add Jaco Purple Fronts with Grey Rears. Full sauce rear. Half sauce fronts (inside). 96spur/27(I think) pinion. I'd like to try out a 100spur. But my Yok SD runs it. When the shop gets more in stock I'll try that out. I think that's it..... |
Rand, teamirsrc.com makes the conversion. I know Tower sells it, but Stormer has the best price I've seen on one. I have the Blue Chassis.
|
So with the rug rat, it looks like I'd basically have to buy a 12L3, and then convert it, seems to change a lot of parts. Would the Yokomo be better if it was a little stiffer?
|
Depends on the price of the Yok. Usually they are around $200-230. With a 12L3 and the RugRat... you are looking at around $150 for L3 and $100 for black RugRat. Or build one from scratch just buying the AE 1/12th front end kit for like $35 (AE4401). Then selecting your own rear end pod plates and T-Bar and accessories (pivot ball and pivot ball holder and screws and shims). AE pod sets the axle higher than Yok or IRS rear end with same axle height adjuster. So you can only go soo small on your tires before the rear end is lower than 3mm (which makes it not legal for carpet.) Hmmm need a rear axle too with accessories. Oh yeah... rear VCS Micro Shock. Anyways, I'm sure you get the picture.
Oh yeah... and if the Yok was stiffer, I would have stuck with it since I'm a Yok kind of guy hehe.... The Yok actually has spots to add damper rods. So I would have taken off the damper plates and added rods instead. I'm sure there is a stiffer chassis out there you can toss on the Yok. I just didn't feel like searching it out. Also on the Yok... you can only run Yokomo T-Bars (I don't think they sell a thick one). So to switch to a thicker T-Bar for carpet you'd need to switch to AE pivotball holders. |
The rugrat conversion won't work with the Yoke pod plates. The top plate won't fit because it doesn't have the extra left side hole.
The Yoke pod plates have the lowest bearing holders that I've seen. You can basically run down to the wheel if you want. |
