I agree with that.
I will be jumping into the pool of mod next season.

i have to admit I do like the idea of pan cars using a common electronic set with sedans and buggies etc. a 2cell lipo in the current 1cell form factor combined with a 25.5, 27.5 or whatever might be a manageable speed limit for a spec class and allow common electronics usage.

the alternative to a 2s battery and higher turn motor is to go away from the 540 motor can to a 380 can? this seems more heretical (is that a word?) which I am sure will get more severely negative responses.

it just seems the way we are going we will need to make the wheels bigger or find a sub 70tooth spur gear.

2 cell Lipo with 380 motors was proposed way back at the start of the BL era of 1/12th scale...I still think this would have been the way to go but the majority was against it.

I've got a Novak Three-80 10.5T (with Mongoose ESC!) that was purchased way back just for that purpose. Part of the problem was that the motor has far too much power on 2s LiPo; Novak rates it about the same power output as a 13.5T 540! On 1s LiPo it's about right, and the lighter weight made the car balance much better.

Going to a 380 size motor will negate the whole "common electronics" proposal. Everyone wants to slow the class down in spec racing but the idea of racing is to go as fast as possible... figure that one out.

Here is a video of 1/12th's running 21.5 motors on 2 cells.

Sweet layout, nice track, good tight group of racers

looks like about 10.5 1s pace

The drivers in the other video were a mixture of local track guys and sponsored drivers. This video is a mixture of newbies and regular joes and they are running the same setup as the faster guys.

Looks like an epic facility

Do you guys run 8m races ?

this prime shock has been the best shock I have ever used on an pan car chassis very high quality very reliable , also loving the reflex front ride height shims they are black g10 instead of those ugly crc shims

you might want to check these out. they come in 0.25 and 0.5mm thicknesses for 8/32 and 3mm front ends (AE an Xray)

Those are nice but they won't work on the XTI front end due to the lip on the CRC front suspension arm.

Going to have to pick me up some of those RSD shims though...those are nice. As for the shock I'll stick with the CRC. I can't imagine a shock being smoother and the ability to change spring without taking the rod end off of the shock shaft puts it ahead of all the others in my book.

I've used those spacers on my CRC front end, only issue is that you can't change the reactive caster without taking these shims out first.
