Thanks, I will try that roll out this weekend at the series race I am going to. I have my tires right about where yours are now.

thanks!

It looks pretty much like a typical ball diff until you get to that screw at the end of the axle. That is were it gets confusing. I have been racing pan cars for a long, long time and honestly, I cannot remember ever seeing an axle with a screw on the end of the axle instead of a setscrew with a lock nut. But then again, I can hardly remember what happened yesterday!

It really depends on what 24601 wants to do with that car. If he wants to seriously race the car, I would suggest he upgrade to a newer, better diff/axle assembly. IRS makes some very good axle/diff products both using D rings and rubber “O” rings to lock the diff rings. I have used their products with great success. I now use Niftech which I think is the best but very, VERY expensive, unfortunately.

Does anybody know enough about the Yokomo YRX12 car to tell me if TRC tires are supposed to work correctly with the car, or if I screwed something up?

The left rear tire scrapes on bottom plate of the rear pod. I can shim it out, but that locks up the rear axle pretty well. I finally got it to work by adding washers between the wheel and the hub, but niw (in theory) the car is over the width limit.

Does anybody use this combo? Should I go with Jaco (or whatever) instead? Thanks!

yeah unfortunatly that's normal, i had the same problem with mine.

to make the trc's fit without additional shimming you might need to have the overhang on that lower rear pod deck machined back a bit.

... or just use jacos :)

The TRC tires have the mounting holes slightly recessed into the wheel. You will neded to grind the bottom plate a little to give them clearance.

You will also need to use a longer screw to hold the TRCs on, if youre using Jaco, you can use a 1/4" screw (I think thats the length), and for TRC you need one thats a little longer.

Guys
I am getting Che's Quad12 with "Old skool" front end.
Do you guys know what type the front end is?

Also for bodies, What should i get?
I really like Toyota GT-one and looks like Hot bodies makes them.
Speed 12 I guess is suppose to be the "better" body but it looks weird with that extra small cockpit.

What do you guys suggest?

I will be running on carpet track that allows paragon.

I don't have groudn effects as they were out so I bought some FXII.

Are they the same thing?

Futureal...
This is Michael that roomed with nashCrasher.com LOL down the hall from you in cleveland last year.

Just an FYI with TRC tires you have to add quite a few shims no matter what the car to get it the correct width. if you use the right axle shims it should cause no binding... I think BRP makes some that work good.

If you think about it, running a Jaco with no spacers will make your car wider than adding shims to TRC's. Jaco's tire actually protrudes out past the wheel. the tire is the same size as the TRC, but the wheel sticks out where it mounts up. Actually, associated cars are too wide if used with Jaco rims according to Roar rules.

My advice from many years of racing is... try shimming it out so that it clears a few thousandths and only put maybe one or no shims on the right side and actually measure it. I'm sure that it won't be over.

If I'm wrong... just blame it on Mr. NashCrasher aka nashrcracer LOL :lol:

thanks for the hit there goobertemp:confused:

here is a picture if it helps

Also,

Stay keep info on http://www.rctech.net/forum/showthre...threadid=38498 .........

;) Hey sir Calandra is in C Final..... yes we run fast here in europe, it's not a joke..........;)

Super Steve, what's car is it?
Thank for info and who do i contacting for a speedmerchantt? We ddo not know this car in Europe and i'm interested as i see everyone on this forum speak about it...

I beleive it's a PRC Quad12 with some sort of "old skool" front end

Super Steve,

The "Old Skool" front end was the one used by AE prior to the introduction of the "Dynamic" front end. The "Old Skool" front end is still popular in stock for its ease of set up and low maintainence.

Go with the body you like but you will notice that the Parma Speed 8 Or Protoform Speed 12 will work better in most cases.

D.P.
