Kyosho Plasma revisited... I'll be honest I kinda gave up on this chassis. I couldn't figure out why it was handling the way I wanted it to. Lone behold it was my lack of knowledge of 1/12th setup that was the main factor. Obviously.

Ever since switching over to R12C3, I've learned a lot and still learning. So, all the knowledge I've gathered and put into my Plasma Ra. I went back to the chassis and looked over everything... First off...This will sound embarrassing, I thought all the shims in the bag were required to make the track width 172 and 168.. So I used them all... Boy was I wrong.. Little did I know, my track width front and rear was out, and I mean way out. The rear was 182 mm and the front 174.. Talk about dump truck.

I removed all the spacers with 172 mm rear and 166 mm front.

Afterwards I did a test run. What difference it made. It drove so much better, but it still needs more work.

Check out how she handles now. I might add an additional 1 mm spacer to widen the front a little to help with stability.
