Anyone else notice the tweak springs aren't on top of the rear links? That changes some stuff for sure. That's not like the Associated.

You can either mount the springs inboard or you can also mount them so they touch on the top of the links, ala AE. As you move the springs inboard, I believe they will feel softer. We will see where Max and Dave end up mounting them :sneaky:

EDIT: Don't listen to me, I don't know what I am talking about.

Softer.

Moving the springs inboard decreases the motion ratio acting upon them... thus, it requires a stiffer spring to yield the same effective spring rate as the same car would with the springs mounted over the links.

Thanks James, this is what happens when you don't think before posting. Either way, the car does support both spring positions.

Is there a WGT car in the pipeline?

Also, when will the manual for the Lightning 12 be posted?

roche.hk 10-03-2013 08:21 PM

Hum. that is a good idea. Let me tell the VBC guys. ;) BTW: retail price would be 249.99usd

First test with the Lightning 12 was great! Car was very balanced, easy to drive, and most of all fast!

Great debut for the Lightning 12 at the IIC in Vegas! 5th in Super Stock and 3rd in mod!

dr_hfuhuhurr 10-13-2013 07:49 PM

Those were great races and the car looked dialed. That was a lot of fun to watch...

Way to lay it down!
