Do you have any pics of the inside of Hara and Masami's kits?

PLEASE don't quote posts with pics, or at least remove the pics from the quote!!!

Argh - mess with formatting and with bandwidth (and I'm on a mainline connection. . .)

Not to start company wars but...
 
I am thinking of getting a 12th scale...the local track did not have a big turn out for them last year, but hopefully that will change this year....
anyway..
Looking for input on a good 12th scale for outdoor racing(speedworld raceway)..also..if you have a 12th that is taking up to much space...I may be looking to get one

Hog,

do NOT get a link car for running on asphalt, they cannot handle it. If I was going to buy a t-plate car right now I would be looking at the T-fource or maybe a 12l4

hogdaddy77 01-24-2005 07:55 PM

dumb question....
what is the difference in a link car and a 12l4? and what are some link cars...so I know what not to look for as well

Front and rear width
 
What is the correct or average front width on a 1/12th scale? I know the rear max is 172mm, but when I looked at the ROAR rule book it said nothing about the front width.

Thanks,
Bob

Link cars use a single center pivot ball to hinge the motor pod with a tie rod (link) on each side. Link cars can have the batteries in a single row in the center of the car, t-bar cars must use a saddle pack. Speedmerchant Rev 4 and CRC Carpet Knife 3.2 are the two currently available link cars.

thanks for the info...
looks like i may be trading for a crc t-fource...
how is the trinity reflex 12?

Front track is 160 to 165 mm,depending on the car, type of wheels and spacers. But 172 mm is maximum width for a 1/12th scale car.

Again, tape the halves together everywhere you can around the perimeter of the ESC. You should be able to do about 2-3/4 of the 4 sides.

Masami runs the shock upsidedown on his 12L4???

SteveB 01-24-2005 09:51 PM

Don't worry guys, I'm not giving up. It was just very disappointing to have something like that happen on my first outing.
Plus to have the guy at the hobby shop where the track is to tell you that is a common issue with that esc after the guy at the hobby shop near my house says it's the best thing on the market makes you wonder.
I'm hoping that LRP will work with me on a repair/replacement without it being too expensive. I thought it was kind of funny that some of you guys knew which esc it was when I didn't tell what it was.

and i was reading my new magizeen and it was covering some race i forget which one but all the big names were running 1/12th scale and they were all saying that all it takes is a "bobble" to lose a race?
