First shakedown of my new Roche at the track today. My first 1/12 scale car in 20 years or so. Digging it so far. Ran half w/spec foams and half w/SJT rubbers. Left the setup the same and saw a 0.3-0.5s differential between the two. Not too bad.

[QUOTE=glennhl;15834674]My new body for GT12, was running the Lotus, but it's a bit of a brick shape. Hoping this Akura works well. Excuse my rattle can paint job.
Looks pretty damn sweet to me for a rattle can paint job.

I didn't like the way my new Akura body pushed down in the front, looked like it will hit the top of the front tires. So I added a third body post to hold up the front of the body, it now doesn't deflect at all. I used a CRC body post because it's pretty skinny and only uses a 2.5mm screw to hold it on, so I could minimize the size of the hole I drilled in the X12 front cross brace.

BittyDesign designs their GT12 bodies based on BRCA specs which has a rear track width of 165mm. I mounted a BittyDesign Seven20 on YRX12'19 which has a track width of 172mm and the wheels stick out a little. BittyDesigns should probably make a US Spec version of 172mm. I looked up if the US GT12 specs have a track width requirement, but I couldn't find anything so I'm assuming it's 172mm based on ROAR rules.

Thanks. That's about what I expected. I just finished a Montech Ferrari, with a light paint job, some stickers, and the kit wing mount hardware and it weighs 50.9.
