Since we are going to have some fun with 12th scale pics and the nat's are now over. Here's some of my car. Like I said, lowering the t-bar does make more rear grip. You just need to make sure that it's for the right class. Just about every part of this car has to be modified in some way to make it work. It's more of a fun project then essential. Things that can not be seen are: titanium nitrided kingpins with a machined ball stud on top, 1/4x1/2" rear bearings with adjusters for every .025 of an inch, long battery slots for weight bias and not to mention that the t-bar is very easy to replace.
Hi Brian,
Was great to meet you at the nats, I really like the modded car you have, looks really good. Did you machine the bottom of the motor mounts to get the motor back down after having it raised byt the t-bar?
I really liked the ms2.2 on asphalt when I ran it at Ripon last year, very stable and predicatable to drive, also the burms at Ripon are very forgiving. There is a chance of running 2 classes there and I think I'm gonna set it up for stock. The hot tires to run were green rears and dbl pink fronts but I think we will be trying wraps too this year.
