Any of you guys run Trinity C2's? How are you setting them up for 1/12th? Gearing?

I use 5 120mah cells from http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/ there is a webstore on the site and they are sold at a good price.

Here is the link to the rec. page.... http://www.hobbyshopper.com/receiver.html

And along this same line, has anyone done much comparison between the C2 and the Reedy Flame for 19T?

I would be curious to hear feedback of one versus the other as well as brush/spring combos used.

Thanks,
JB

thank u for the help

when i get a motor for my 12th scale what am i looking for i raced 10th scale can i run the same motors

hey Adrian,

we are running c2 on carpet. alot of different setups that seam to work. I am running 767 with red posi and green negative. some of the guys are running 4499 and some are running the lightspeed 3910 all with the same springs. were are generally running 28-29/96 and rears are 44mm. i don't have the roll out, but guess you can figure it out from what I gave you. You will want to run the motor on the warm side. they tend to like it that way. lol

I like my C2's with trinity xxx brushes and green/green springs. The layout we have now is insanely tight so my rollout is down to 1.35 or so.

try 767s or Hurricane Golds with the stock springs. A lot of the Reedy motors semm to like the springs they come with...maybe tweak the pos for a bit more tension. You can also try a small hole in the brush. Kevin K had a good one last year...

The Reedy spec 19 likes a tall gear. We are running them at 37/96. I like the stock springs also, they work very well.

I use GP 160 ma cells for my reciever packs, and have found them to be better cells than the ones from hobby talk. The hobbytalk cells work ok, though and are pre-built.
I used to get the GPs from www.cheapbatterypacks.com but they only carry a new 180ma cell now; it looks good (I haven't run them yet) but are quite a bit longer than the GPs.

My L4 tends to oversteers a bit when i exit the corners (low to medium speed corners), is there anything i can do to minimise/fix this?

With the Reedy 19T I have been running Reedy 767 with a 5/64" hole the center and Trinity Green springs geared 34/96 with 1.85" rear tires.

If you have really good batts you can run Reedy 768 vertical slot brushes. They are very fast but if your cells are below 400sec you will dump.

That body is still available, but I don't know if that is only in asia/japan or all over the world.
Anyway, here's a link to the japanese website. It's all the way down with the included partnumber. (that's all I can read ).
Corally also makes this body and the partnumber of it is '78110', maybe that one is easier to find.

You shouldn't forget that this body isn't the best out there, it doesn't have lots of downforce. Most people who drive them (if there are still some) are extending the rear wing and with scrap lexan to have more downforce as you can see in the attachments.
