Well fellas,
All of your suggestions worked! Except for adding caster. After making all the other changes, (.075 t-plate, .020 springs), the additional caster made it too responsive. But at stock settings, 2*, this thing slices and dices! Just wanted to thank you for your help. Only thing I don't like about the 12L3, hate is better, is having to use that *&%^#$!%>@*&% tape for the batteries.
If I cant get use to that, it's gotta go! anybody find any creative ways to get this done easier?
