Does anyone here run a Hammer?

I run the AH12 Hammer and I love the car. The chassis is stiff, but not as stiff as the CRC 3.2R and is light. I run Parma tires with mine and I have to add weight to the car.

It is one of the flexiest chassis that I have ever felt, but it doesn't seem to change the handling much since it is so narrow and it doesn't twist as much as a wider chassis.

Might be a dumb question, but which car is the base of the AH12 Hammer? The AE L4?

429RACER, have you ran a CRC car? How does it compare to the Hammer? I looked at one of those conversion kits last weekend that Jamie was building. Reminded me of the old HPI F1 kit. Did you have the orange with yellow striped 1/12 last weekend that lead some of the 3rd A-main?

Hara's car uses the hpi f1 rear pivot. Talking to him at the paved nats, he has a different thickness chassis for asphalt and carpet, i think the cutouts were the same though, although his chassis was quite flexable when i felt it at the paved nats. As far as the rear bulkhead i think you can use a regular AE rear end and front end, although i have seen versions that use a yokomo style rear end (4 screws that hold down the back, not the AE style of 3).

Does anyone know of a Shop anywhere in the world other than here in the USA that I can get parts for the Kawada M300 Limited 1/12 car.

Tony Montana,
Instead of going to trifecta to run come to mimi's and run with us doesnt matter how fast or slow you are we are willing to help.I will tell you from experience that running at trifecta wont help you as much as running at mimi's as far as driving setting up or learning about 12th scale.You can ask Fatdoggy one of his friends TO has been with us all thru the summer and we have been helping him out and he is now one of the fast 12th scale drivers in stock.So come on up and learn all ya have to do is ask

Guys how good are the Jaco Aqua rear tires?
How is their traction?
On carpet?
On asfalt/tarmac?

Dead on. :nod:

Tony - Yes everybody at mimi's is very helpful, you can walk up to lufaso(5th in 12th at the worlds) and ask him questions, also andrew gray, mike dunnigan, david chester, billy spence. You won't have any trouble finding out how to get your car hooked-up, setup and built properly. As for Heimbert(aka T.O.) he is flying in 12th scale after only a few months. He's gotten alot of help from the locals and has spent a shat load of time at the track perfecting his driving and is racing at the clevland champs in a few days. As a side note I've been waiting for my bmi 12th to arrive for a few months and havn't been racing, so when I get back into racing it will take be ages for me to learn to drive again. :lol: As long as you let the fast guys by you really don't have to worry about being hacked.

Fatdoggy I'll try the diff suggestions tommorrow and I'll let you know how it works out. How many 1/12 drivers go to mimi's? Is there a stock and mod class? Serpent racer 1 and Fatdoggy I appreciate the support and may come up there in the next 2 weeks, they still race on Saturdays right, because Sunday is Redskins day. Do you guys race sedans also? Im currently looking for a new sedan havent raced my xxxs in about 3 years and looking for something that is good out of the box and something mimi carries parts for I think that new yokomo sd worlds edition looks good, may as well stick with yokomo since I have a yrx12. Thanks again guys

Yep still saturday, racing starts at 3:30pm. Quite a few 12th drivers now(mod 8 or so, stock 6+), since the champs is in a few days there may be a slight drop off for a week or two. I don't think mimi stocks yok sd parts, but I may be wrong. I used to race stock TC but am moving to 12th.

Yeah that was me that lad the 3rd Amain till I got hooked in traffic LOL. Oh Well. Last weekend was mt first race with the Hammer car and I loved it. At first I was having issues with the car then after awhile I got some of the bugs worked out and got faster. The car is setup very sensitive. My old CRC car was fast and easy to drive, but was never reactive as this car. The Hammer keeps you driving the car and never a dull moment. I think the Hammer car tweaks a little more in an accident than the CRC. Overall I like the Hammer kit and will definitely continue with it. Jamie is definitely a pretty good guy and he was trying to figure out his car all weekend. I figured mine out just a little too late. You were pretty fast in 12th (well of course you won).

I disagree! Just as an example the 12L3, Yokomo YRX and the Rev3 (probably more out there, but I just haven't drove them)were more flexible than this car. It is more flexible than some of the newer cars though.

does anyone run these tires?
