JDXray - your question is pre-mature. None of the rest of us have had a chance to run it.

Jon,

Well, just by looking at it, I'm thinking it'll be a lot heavier then the existing L3/L4 front end, so that's a con right there. As far as if that extra weight sacrifice is worth the performance, we'll have to wait and see. But nevertheless, props to Franky to invent something new!

why are green compound tires so much cheaper than say purple or whatever

fatdoggy 12-03-2004 06:30 PM

Green is a medium compound that wears quickly.

thanks dom,
wouldnt that front end be for more bumpier tracks? looks liek it can absorb alot of bumps etc. But looks like an interesting frontend.

Hi Everyone,

Getting back into 1/12 from some time off and if this question has been answered before I apologize as I'm slowly working my way through this thread.

Anyways are people still overgearing and using cut brushes? are you still playing with the timing? and what winds of motors are most of you using in Mod class?

I'm trying to get the run time I need to compete again

Thanks.

The Team Br00d guys will normally run a Reedy Ti or Pt based mod motor with a 9x2 high varience type of wind. Usually 12 deg of timing works good on the reedy's. Reedy quasars full face, no cuts and green springs are always good. if you can't make runtime just gear up and dont pull full throttle as much. WE have been using the V2 teardowns with great success as well.

Frank has been running that front end now for awhile testing and changing(refining) things on it.I got a chance to talk to him about it at the Halloween race in oct(he was running it than)he was telling me that in time he should be able to replace the delta shocks up front with damping tubes but everything is in testing he said and he has others running it as well.As far as a release date he told me that it should be about a yr off which would make it avaliable in oct 2005 or around that date sometime.He also was saying that on a bumpy track that he never even noticed with that front end on to him he said if really smoothed the car out.I'm sure if yall have any questions about it just email the crc site and ask I know you will get a reply
