traction compound is almost like a necessity for 1/12~

I'd like to use paragon

Before you adjust tweek, back off the tweek screws and check that the front springs have the same preload on each, trim the spring and shim if necessary(tires must be of equal diameter left to right when you do this). Then adjust tweek as you normally would.

Yes traction compound is very important for 1/12th. Get a blower and clean off the track if possible. Be smoother and if your still spinning the rear tires then you could try adjusting your current limiter so that it won't easily spin the rear tires(nothing you can't do with throttle control though).

Ok thanks guys. I guess I just nned to learn to not be as trigger happy as I am with my touring cars. Plus since the car is used I will check the tweek on the car as well.

stumper,
You mentioned in your earlier post that you were using 6 cells in your 12L3. Try using 4 cells. Most 12th scale racing is 4 cell world wide and you'll find that it will be much easier to drive and properly geared it will still be very fast. With the ballistic speeds that can be obtained with 6 cells in a 1/12 scale, tapping a board can result in near explosive effects.

D.P.

what do you guys think of that new AE car the L4

It's very good. I like the new front end alot. It also comes with the IRS big ring diff too. Can't go wrong with it, or you can buy the BMI 1/12 that will be availible soon. That will be even better :D

Question for your guys: What have you been running for 1/12 stock motor setups. So far right now I have a 2 mag binary stock (roar legal one), red and green springs, and 767s with a + cut in them. Just seems like it's going REALLY soft at the end of the run.

L4 Question
 

Have the 12L4, over all the car is good but it seems inconsistant?

One round, car is decent, next round car is twitchy? ANy ideas?

My current setup is .020 front springs, purple fronts, gray rears, and very very little trinity pink stuff on damper plate.

I know this car can be super fast but I am missing something. It's just inconsistant. Any advise?

Korey - your overgeared.

If you want to check one our Ill bring mine to TQ on Friday. I am trying to ge some people to run 1/12 friday nights it would be fun and low maintenace.

i need a little help...i was told about a servo alot of 1/12 guys are running that allows you to mount the servo flat on the chassis due to the fact that it has the mount built into the case....i think it is supposed to be a airtronics servo but i have looked everywhere and cannot find it

or...

search for "94145z" at towers. Thats the one you are looking for.

thanks a bunch

Another way if you are using a AE normal plastic servo mount is to turn them 180 and drill new holes in the mount. That way you can more easily test stand up and lay-down.

great idea, i'll try that too

clod futaba 9602 has the same case i think.
