TRC Foams on a 12L4
 

First 12th so be gentle. Having trouble mounting TRC 12th foams on my 12L4. Front too much slop after inserting bearings and e-clips and rear supplied screws are too short. Now I know I can jimmy around each problem with shims on the front and longer hardware on the rear but I wanted to see if anyone else has run into the same problem as me. Any input is appreciated!!!!

Thanks,
Kevin

Regards dumping-try not to use full throttle be as smooth as possable,if you can stick a peice of foam on your throttle forward end point so you don't be tempted to use full power.

(I need to practse what i preach)

My Q
What mod motors do you find go well with 12th-im just about to start the u.k nationals & need to buy some new motors.But not sure what to buy...;)

Re: TRC Foams on a 12L4
 

TRC front wheels require you to use a flanged bearing. Like this:

Not sure if this is right size, I rememer them being 1/8x1/4 but it might be 5/16. Anyway, same size as the book says, just with the flange.

yup it's 1/8 x 5/16 flang for trs and reg for jjacco

Its probably in the 290 some odd pages, but what roll out are you guys using in stock and mod?

The Reedy PT is a good choice. I've run a friends pt 10x2 and it was insane.

ALBERTO - Adjust the current limiter on your esc so it's not as punchy and you'll gain a little runtime. Also being smooth and not hitting anything in 1/12th goes a long way, every wall tap spikes your batteries(amp draw goes way up) and takes away runtime.

Gary Fliegel - Track size?

Any good tips to get tires online, decent price and in stock?

Thanks.

thanks again and I'll do just that!!!!

From what I have been told, 50' x 24' It may be a bit larger.

That's a small track. Maybe around a 30mm rollout for stock and a 25mm for mod. Just guessing, I could be way off. My local track is 96'x52' and we run about a 40mm rollout for stock(MS geared a few mm higher then BS) and around a 35mm for mod(so many factors in mod though).

Receiver cells
 

I was just wondering if there is any interest in a shorter lighter receiver cell than the 1/4aaa's that we're running now?

The new cells would be 11mm long and have about 80 mAh. They would weigh 10-20% less than what we're running now.

The cost would be about the same as what we have now.
