The turquoise is a higher torque rotor and works a little better on smaller/tighter track layouts. I generally stick to the purple rotor most of the time though.

Well im back to being a 12th Padawan

placed an order for a yokomo r12c3, tyres, protoform TR12, hobbywing just stock esc and a muchmore 6.6v life receiver pack, already have a 12th servo and 1 cell lipos.
got a GM 10.5T motor and a reedy sonic mach 2 13.5t motor as well.

They look like JFT rims to me

Thanks for the reply. I will check them out. Where we race its BSR. CRC, Jaco, and Parma only.

Anyone try out the 84p gears from Leespeed ?

Hello!

Just want to start 12 scale driving this winter and just don't know by now which
cable diameter for modified i should prefer... 16awg ok? or better 14awg?

Regards

I run 16 to the motor and 14 to the battery.

I run 16 motor, 12-14 battery too

whats the advantage of 84p gears?

It's a good test to check one's eyesight.

Age in years = 100 - (gear pitch used)

how are you guys mounting lipos in the older t plate cars looking to get into 12th scale and can get a car pretty cheap but its a t plate car

I just put the battery one one side of the t-bar (lengthwise down the long axis of the car), and the electronics on the other side. It works pretty well. Alternately, you can get some 1s saddle packs from Speedzone, where each half is about the size of two sub-C NiMH batteries.

Sadly, t bar cars were made virtually obsolete by the advent of lipos. Pretty much everybody has switched over to the side spring design. You can offset a lipo on one side of the tbar but doing so makes the car very imbalanced. You can space a lipo up and over the tbar, but doing so makes the CG so high that the car will handle badly. If you want to run the tbar style car, at this point your only viable option would be to get a saddle pack 1 cell lipo. To my knowledge, only one company offers such a battery. That company is Speedzone, owned by Gavin Creado. He's got a thread on the team and company page. These days and because of the lipo batteries, tbar 1/12th scale cars are hardly even seen in competition. Sad, but true.

So my new yokomo r12c3 got its first race tonight.

....i came first..

buy one..amazing car, 'nuff said
