[QUOTE=chris moore;4844909]Hey Rocky, dont get caught up in the technical stuff right off. Allmost every 1/12 car has componets that are more than capable of doing the job, worry about upgrades and nit-picking stuff once you've got the basic driving down. The only things to worry about is ride height(as the inspector said that is imporant) and keeping the tires even(rotated and trued) before each run. Now as to your ? on carpet I have'nt really needed the gurney flap but it is very helpfull on asphalt for anything faster than a 17.5.


Jeez Chris you are everywhere around here! Thanks for the input, I will be running 19T brushed on asphalt so I believe I will install the flaps...are they mounted flat as an extension of the rear of the body or should I leave a "wicker bill" on the trailing edge when I cut them out? I wish I could find a pic of them installed so if anybody has one feel free to post up. Also ride height...what is a good starting point for asphalt and which set of axle eccentrics should I use to get that ride height (12L4)? So many questions!!
Thanks!
