The one in Blackstock's post? Yes.

droop
 

Can someone explain droop for a CRC car and how it is measured (e.g., with weight in the car or not? etc, etc...)

Thanks,
Joe

I will call AE tommorrow and get an answer.........

Re: droop
 

There is droop on 1/12 :weird: i didnt know that, lol. :lol: if there is maybe i should check that.

Are they refering to rear pod droop when refering to droop? When you hold the chassis up the rear pod should be level with the main chassis. I have heard people call it droop when the back of the pod sags below the chassis. It is adjusted by lengthening or shortening the shock.

hi all, am thinking about doing some 1/12 racing(not oval) in the new year and am doin some homework on wot to get.
wot do most of u guys recommend, have been looking at the corally and associated ones at the moment, any other brands anyone can recommend?
also any online shops, as i sometimes user tower but i cant find any on there
cheers
:D

The RC12L4 is a good starting kit. You can also get the Hot Bodies
conversion kit for it. It makes it into a Hammer 12 which is what
Atsushi Hara Drives. Similar to the CRC Carpet Knife.
The CRC Carpet Knife is a also good. They just came out with a
new version of their 3.2 Bloody Knife called the 3.2R.
The CRC along with the Hammer Conversion are the only ones
that have the 4 batteries together down the middle instead
of having to saddle them like you do with every other kit.
You can also get the Hammer Conversion kit if you have an Rc12L3.
Yokomo has their worlds edition, but it is pretty old now.
Trinity has the Reflex 12 which is nice, but I hear breaks easy
if your not as experienced in driving 12th.
I also hear that the CEFX is nice. All these cars along with the
associated ones use a T suspension. The Hammer and the Carpet
Knife use a Pivot with springs. Go to TeamCRC.com and check out
the Carpet Knife 3.2R. I have it and is really working good for me.

thats how its done to 1mm droop the rear pod hangs down 1mm below chassis (alter vcs shock length)

Rollout for 12th scale
 

Hey Scoobydoo, here's a link to a good set of roll out tables. Roll out is just a method of figuring out your final drive ratio. Try somewhere between 35 and 40 mmpr, the car should explode out of the corners and still pull a decent speed down the straights. Every motor is different, they have different torque and rpm figures, so that's where the practice sessions come in. Hope this helps....

scoobydo, thanx for the info, am looking into the associated one at the moment.
i know there a are lot of factors involved, but wot would be a good starting pinion size with the provided 100 spur and say around a 7-8 turn motor??
cheers in advance:)

Re: Re: RC12L4 asphalt
 

ill look next time, thanx anyway:p

Seems to me everyone overlooks the "newbie" posts. I'm not new to RC by no hell means, but we were all new to one car or another at one time. I'd just like to get some information about 1/12 scale cars, that's all...

Thanks.

the carpet knife is a roadcourse car, an oval car will have all the batteries on the left hand side so they are not interchangeable.

Alright thanks man.. that was my thought too!
