after watching ODPurple post all those wireless look / killer 1/12th cars, i'm finally able to post mine which i beleive amazingly he may not own in that huge fleet maybe some day i'll take the time to clean up my wiring like he does.

DP Q-12 tape version

DP Q-12 FG tape version (for asphalt)
this chassis has about the same flex as a yokomo graphite chassis, the cross brace has additional holes to move the rear body post back for for rear traction

since there is all the talk about caster and suspension blocks again.

the graphite car has 5deg blocks with a one shim at each end. this has been working great at our indoor carpet track in Tucson. 10deg are to much for me, 0deg block seem to push too much

the FG car has 0deg blocks with two shims at the rear. also it is hard to tell from the photo, but there is also a second set of cutdown suspension block inside the reds ones you see. this makes the upper arms longer. this front end set-up has been perfect and smooth on lo-trac (only blown off) asphalt, keeps the car from being twitchy, over biting in the front end, and the rear end from coming around. 5 & 10deg blocks...maybe the 5deg on a prepped trach like SRS up in Phoenix area.

motors, i like the doubles, triples are hard to find. 10X2 and 11X2 orion core touring
