What do you mean:
"The is asphalt so we run .063" T's with the rear edge filed at a 45deg angle." I have that same motor and will try that combination at Speedline next weekend. Are you going to try the purple fronts and pink rears as the other guy suggested? |

Originally posted by Windsorguy99 You might want to check with dr_hufhurr(sp?) on here...he did one up a while back..and I don't know if he was marketing it or if it was just used as a personal tool.. I had done a basic Pocket Excel spreadsheet to calculate rollout given pinon spur and tire size, as weill as calculate required pinion gven spur, tire and desired rollout... Dr_h's also included allowances for internal driv ratios for touring cars as well:cool: 2brainsdesigns |
associated 12L4
I regret I have to sell an assembled 12L4 team car with body...if your interested you can email me at [email protected]......

Originally posted by lespaul I tried to center it better but I don't have anymore adjustment to move it to the right, so I have more throw on one side than the other, is it the servo? or a kit fupa. new to 1/12 so I don't know how much it is going to effect me at my current driving level if you know what I mean. |
Re: steering
Originally posted by lespaul just bought a 12L4 and noticed that one of the steering arms is longer than the other did I buy the wrong servo, or is it normal to have to mod it to get the servo centered. The next question I have is how critical is it because I dont need all the servo through anyway |
Does anyone know if there is a aluminum damper post available for a 12L4? The composite one that comes in the kit seems to strip out easily. I solved the problem by using longer screws. But, I would like to find an alternative.

Tire Weight
I have Jaco greys, and I have TRC Granites.
I've noticed that the TRC's seem way lighter. The difference in accelleration is remarkable! For a given tire diam, I find that TRC's give me superior accelleration. On closer inspection, the Jaco Grey foam seems to be very dense; the cells are much smaller. TRC Granite (Black + Grey, right?) has much more 'open' cells. And it feels much softer. (Don't have a durometer here) Can anyone confirm this? On a side note: the 'magical', unobtainable rear tires Masami used to win the Worlds, and the previous worlds, are not that illusive, they're in the Yokomo catalog. |
I think the rumors of unobtainable tires are just that, Masami is just a wheel. I know the CRC guys in the A-main (Groskamp and Rheinard) at the worlds were running CRC Magenta front and rear. No 'magical', unobtainable tires, just standard off the shelf product.
ran my CRC for the first time last night in a race. Weather condition (very cold and windy) was not to good so I wasn't sure if I had the right tire combo. I am getting ready for our state series race and need to know what is a good tire combo for outdoors. Most tracks will be asphault and a few parking lot. I had magneta fronts and grey rears. I could tell the fronts stick but I kept losing the rearend. |
Anyone know the driving characteristics between the Parma EXP Speed 8 vs. the Protofrom Speed 12 GTP? What's better for technical track, for outdoors, and/or for high speed tracks?
|
speed 8 is more neutral overall. the speed 12 has more front down force yielding more steering. i prefer the neutral feel of the speed 8 and tuning the chassis instead.

Greatest advancement in 12th scale!!!
Hey all-I just saw possibly the best thing to happen to 12th scale since I have been in the hobby. IRS has produced an entire package of rear bearing/ride height adjusters in very small increments!! Now you can run your tires 2 or 3x and chnage pills and be right back to where you were. No more having to run your big tires WAY down to make it to the next pill.
I will post links if I find them-but I am sure an e-mail to Dave at Irrgang will be enough. I think they are alreday available!! They looks like a stiffer material than the AE ones too-so the bearing/axle should spin longer. Ray |
