Is there something I can do to make sure it stays in place... other than not crash?
I'd recommend getting some lundsford fatboy motor screws so you can really crank on them.

Default tyre size

Hi

What size do you run your tyres on carpet , with a ride height of 3mm. I tried with 44mm rear and 42mm front , have CA glued the front tyres , but still the car flips. I use Capricorn 30 rear and 35 front. I think it only is the size that are the problem , as when the tyres get smaller the problem goes away

Even for club racing I run 42 mm rears 41 fronts glued.

You may be running too much camber too. I usually run -.5 or -1 never any more

Raced my Rebel for the first time today. I love this car. The only problem I have is that I bent an axle. I upgraded to the threaded axles and then hit the wall hard. Does anyone know if there is a titanium axle available for this car? Maybe from Lunsford?

I think the threaded axles are a bit soft ...

These might work for you.

Thanks. Has anyone tried these? My only concern is that the threaded axles from Top fit very tight. I wonder if these will fit correctly.

I had the associated type that these are based off and they fit snug but the TOP fit way tight

I use the Lungsford axles in my Rebel. They work really good. Also use the Turnbuckles.

Is there already any news about an inline conversion for the Rebel12?

Regards Robert

I haven't heard any. Many inline designed cars are being run in the more traditional way.

After seeing the current 1/12 WC have to move over to let Larry pass in qualifiers at IIzc in 13.5 boosted I would say it isn't necessary.

I saw OD having one a couple months back I think he custom made for himself

I would rather have updated V2 steering blocks with titanium axles first though
