Drew,
I have my eye on you. :sneaky:
Just finished my 1/12th and was thinking the same as you. :nod:

I should be there on Friday afternoon....got to get a good excuse to get out of work early :D I'll help you out :nod:

And I'm watching both of you.. :sneaky:

I was geared at 34.5/35mm rollout for a large outdoor track. Neo/Sphere temp was 140*F, ambeint temp was 90*F, and batteries were 3300s.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :sneaky:

thanks man, I will buy dinner :)

I will be there to P2 to practice as well.

Here is a question for the gurus. i just got a crc 3.2R, I was having a problem getting the car to turn the same amount in both directions. I was talking to some of the guys at the track and they mentioned that the servo is mounted in the center of the car but running a servo saver moves it off center. (because it slightly tilted off center) They mentioned that i can dial that in the radio which i did. Solved the problem. Only thing is the car turns less overall and is difficult to turn around in a technical part of a track without help from a marshall. Is this normal or can it be adjusted by going back through the set up of the car and adjusting the tie rods?

What radio do you use? Does it have end point adjustments, or dual rate? If not you need to set everything up dead center then adjust your linkages from there. And I find in 1/12 scale you don't need a ton of steering throw, and many people do alot of tire scrubbing in the corners..

I have a JR R-1 radio. With dual rate and the option to dial out the throw in one direction or the other.

Now another simple question. When i put the servo saver on it's off center to the left and when i move it to the right one notch its off center that way. Could it just be the saver i have?

Was wondering if anyone knows where to find this part..Masami runs it on his yok 12l4wc , its on the tbar where the tweak screws go, there is not a pivot ball but some other system, his tweak srcews are nutted down and there are blue washers or some assembly that comes up through the pivot point.... any help from anyone. I have a picture but cannot upload it file to large., found it on kimihiko-yano.net
Thanks Rogtsaamokin

Then you should set your stuff up with all the radio trim and sub trim at center, then set your front toe with the linkages to the degree you want. Then with your radio set the left and right endpoints for max steering throw. This setting is made individually left and then right. Then you can limit your steering throw by using the dual rate, if when at the track if you feel the car is turning to much or to twitchy for your likes.

Sounds like you're saying it's having trouble turning a tight turn at slow speed like if you get turned around. The epa's should cure that. If it feels like it's not turning at high speeds or pushing that would be your diff and suspension setup.

Cool, that's the exact problem i was having. Low speed epa adjustment. I'll have to go back and make sure the settings on the radio are correct and start from the begining. Guess that's what happens when you are rushed. :rolleyes:

battery conn.
