Nexus- JR, the airtronics I have always had issues with, and the KO is fine as long as you have a KO radio and rx.

BTW, Speedmerchant has made a running change to the Rev. 4 and is now including IRS lowered pods with all of the kits, and they are back in stock!:D

?
 

I've been using KO 947's and 949's with a Futaba radio and Novak recievers and they work great.

I may not have been clear ...it's hard to type out my thoughts and work :D at the same time.

I wanted to say use new tires not old tires. I found that if the tires are too old the traction from them is to inconsistant and it makes it hard to get the setup right.

You can get the proper counter sink from your local hardware store. Just make sure you get the counter sink with the same cutting angle as the screws you are using. Or... you can just buy Lunsford titanium screws which will sit below the chassis and not only will your car be lighter but you can use them on aluminum bulk heads and such. You should never screw aluminum into aluminum.

After an hour of running, I've checked the chassis with a straight edge and some screws were hitting the straight edge. Prior to running, the screws never touched the straight edge. I've noticed the edges of the chassis were dirty so the chassis did drag a little on the ground.

There are spacers for the front that fit under the screws that hold the suspension on and it raises the suspension and keeps the chassis heigth the same.

I just installed the Hara Conversion to my 12L4. is there any setup tips you guys might have if anyone here uses the Hara conversion??? to me the side to side movment seems slow and not to much movement at all.. is this how it is suposed to be?

Mr Jolly,

Come up to Penicuik, Scotland this Monday night and I will show you. If I can come from California, you should be able to make it from Kent...he, he...

Otherwise, the Lufaso site has great information.

12l4 observations part 2
 

After countersinking the chassis holes, I screwed on the front lower a arms back on the chassis. I stuck the chassis on some hudy blocks for 10th scale touring cars and stuck the droop gauge under each a arm. Guess what? Both sides are a mm off. Very bad! I took the a arm that's higher off the chassis and sanded it down. After an hour of sanding both a arms are equal height according to the droop guage.

Looking for some good rear axle bearings. (1/4x3/8 flanged) I've only tried the Avid and stock AE bearings. The Avid ones just plain suck and the AE ones are really good, but cost a lot ($6 each). Anybody know of anywhere to get good and cheap bearings? I've found a couple places but wanted to know if there's anywhere else or any opinions on these:

$2/each:

About the only way to get a good, straight countersink is to go buy a real sink bit (about $15) and use a drill press or a mill. Otherwise you'll never get it very straight.

Have a look at these:

I've used them on my pro ten and was happy with them, especially considered the price!
Otherwise have a look at these:

I've heard good things about those too. I haven't tried them myself though.

Try RCBoyz on Ebay.... They've got creat prices on bearings... Around 1.29 for Polyamide sealed....

Chad...you'll want to polish the alum. slides, that'll help with drag, also do not over tighten the plastic clamps, you'll wnat to set it up so that they dont move front / back.

As far as setup I have no idea... but I remember the alum. block stuff from when I had a HPI-10G oval car.

Hey, does this conversion come with additonal springs for tuning roll?
