Re: C12
 

Try K T Hobbies. Kraig probably will have the best prices on all of your 1/12th scale needs.

Re: IRS Castor Blocks
 

They will provide you with options of reducing the rate of camber gain during suspension travel and the option of changing the roll center in the front of the car. Additionally, with a slight modification to the Associated lower control arm, you can change between 5 degrees and 10 degrees of reactive castor.

I didn't even know Hyperdrive was still around. LOL I still have an old Hyperdrive LX 1/10th pan car in my closet somewhere. Do you have any pictures of the car?

They still make tons of oval cars. I'll take a pic this week and put it up here. It is basically a RC12L3 with a 1/8" shorter wheelbase (like a Switchblade) and CRC damper tubes instead of plates. The chassis is .090" so it works on Asphalt and Carpet. All you need to change is t-bars.

here you go Mo

The current cars have CRC alloy damper tubes and the new IRS Graphite Big D ring diff. The also have alloy IRS rear pod plates. Like I said...its all tricked out.

i would like to see how people set up the electronics and battery packs

thanks,

how do you guys hold on ur electronics just normal servo tape- like the double sided foam tape stuff? and batteries-just normal black electrical tape? cuz i just bought some 3300s and now my L3 finally has all the parts to b run i think lol

The best servo tape in earth is 3M interior/exterior mounting tape. It is a dense gray form. It sticks like crazy yet releases when you want it to. It also comes off in one piece.

To hold your cells in you need a fiber reinforced strapping tape. You can get 3M 3/4" at the grocery store but that is kinda overkill. Hobby shops sell a 3/8" wide version in black or clear that is better suited for the job.

you need fibreglass reinforced tape to hold your batteries in the car.

i live in the uk, and i bought my car through kraig at KT hobbies, the guy was great, very helpfull, cant recommend him enough. does a good price on jaco's too.

thanks jas and adrian

what about servos do u use micro sized or full size or does it not matter cuz i have heard both?

suppose you could use a full size servo if you had too, space may be a little tight though.
1/12 servos all so have alot less torque, i picked a futaba 9650 up for $69 then there is also the ko servo i've seen for $82

okay cuz i talked to someone and he said that he has seen a lot of the smaller servos burnin up and has never had a problem with his

I use an Airtonics 94141. Its a mini servo..they last forever.

Use MIP double sided tape. It is white in color and it is the best servo tape ever made. It holds like glue and comes off real easy.

To tape your batteries in your car use either nylon strapping tape, the tape with the most strands is the strongest or you can use battery strapping tape made from a thin mylar plastic material. Speed Merchant sells the Mylar tape.
