I only stock the ones that are mounted. I can always try and order foams only though. Yes, I do ship international.

Can this car cut it?
 

Anyone remember these? This is a Corally SP12 from the late 1980's.

I never owned one back in the day, but I was living in southern California and I remember seeing a guy named Fernando (Belair or Valair, I'm not sure of his last name) tearing up the old Hot Trick indoor carpet track with one. By the way, do any of you SoCal racers know if Fernando is still active?

By the time I got back in to racing, Corally's car was the Graphite SP12G, which I owned and really liked a lot.

I got this off ebay for cheap, just to have it. I didn't really think about racing it at the time, but Corally's current wheels and tires are still a direct fit, the car is in excellent condition, and I'd need only rear axle height adjusters, a front steering linkage set, and new tires to make it complete. All the parts I need are the same as the current ones, and easily available.

I don't expect it to perform anywhere near my SB12, but I thought it could be some fun for the Friday night club racing scene at the local track... most of the guys who race there haven't been in it long enough to have ever seen one of these.

You are making public your age Trips. :D

I know I'm old, but I like to believe that age and cunning can beat youth and quick reflexes. In 1/12 scale, anyway...

Servo mount - 1/12 scale
 

Does anyone have any info or knowledge on the correct relation of the steering servo ballstuds to the spindle ballstuds? Are the servosaver balls susposed to be slighly forward, parallel, or slightly behind the spindle balls? What do each of these positions do? Basically, how far fore or aft does one mount the servo? Car is a Asso. 12L3.

Trips: Name does not sound familiar to me (SoCal Raceway, Huntington Beach CA.) but Mark Anton might know.....Mark?

Hey Lee,

On any type of Pan Car I’ve ever had, I’ve always wanted mine mounted so that the servo saver is slightly farther forward than the steering blocks. In other words, the rods will have a small angle pointing backwards as they go from the servo out. See the pic attached below. I don’t know if that’s 100% theoretically correct, but I’ve always done it that way.

Sounds like you and Trips are on the same page with that age and cunning stuff. :)

Did you ever get that logo I made for you?

Thanks Kraig, I am going to place an order soon, first have to check what is going with 12th scale here.
There are discussions that no championship will be run this year, or maybe we change the rules from 6-cell 880grams to 4-cell ???grams. How light are the cars allowed in the USA??

Does anybody know if CRC make their own tire compounds or do they sell Jacos?

What car would you prefer for a long, smooth track, the CRC CK or the Associated RC12L3 with the 4-cell YOKOMO conversion?

What are your opinions with a Rx pack? Should I use one with 4-cell, or are there some servos which can live without? Would you recommend 6 cells using the BEC of the ESC, or 5 cells going directly into the Rx.

Thanks

Well, I drove a six pack today. It was someone else's and I hav not driven a 1/12th since 95ish and a 2wd since 98ish. It worked well. I ran a pack with the Quantum and then with the Cyclone. The Cyclone hands down is far better out of the turns.

Dave,

I remember chasing those Corrally cars. Do you know if they still make those plastic disks under the body post to protect the chassis? That track in South Shore it nice.

warpspeed racing 12 scale
 

I heard about the warpspeed racing coming out with a 12 scale onroad car. Did anyone hear anything about it?

Chris, you were at South Shore today? I almost went, but got lazy and slept in instead. Sure would have been good to see you.

They're going to be closed next weekend for the Chicago show, but I'll be racing there the following Friday. Hope to see you there...

Trips

Dave,

Yes I was out there. Your right, no racing this week. The crowd was small, about 8 in 12th. I am going to finish the season out in 1.8th onroad then move to 1.12th on Sundays. I guess the 1.12th crowd will pick up around the middle of October which is the end of the outdoor season. South Shore seems to be the palce everyone is talking about.

Warpspeed 12th
 

Warpspeed is coming out with a 12th scale chassis very soon. Should be awsome. Contact Schumacher USA for info.

Raffe- Hey how are things going? Just wanted to make a quick observation about the speedos. The LRP Quantum Comp. comes from the factory set on "Punch #2" which is for off-road. There are five punch settings on it with 5 being the most and 1 the least. You might want to check out which punch setting was on, my guess is that it was around 2-3. I have tried all of the settings and in Mod punch #4 is about max and puch #5 is crazy. I would say that compared to my Cyclones before punch #3 in mod is comparable to the 7.2khz of the Cyclone. The Cyclone you tried was probably around 5.6khz and could have been even lower with a lot of minimum drive. You can set the Quantum Comp. to have the same type of punch but again for modified I would suggest nothing past #4 but everyone's taste are different. One of the other nice things about the speedo is that you can adjust it without turning on the radio.

I had a Novak Atom,it blew up and i got myself a Quantum,which to me seemed a lot quicker etc,
what i would like to ask is,ive got a KO receiver and a 947pds servo,ive been competing in 5mins race ,so i hav'nt used a receiver pack,but the uk nationals are about to start in october and are 8mins, i guess id beter use one,ive got a 4 cell receiver pack would that last or is it important that its a 5 cell?
Cheers
Ste
