Well Frank, in all honesty money....i can get a 1/12 vbc for 189....and i can get an associated from tower on easy pay and break it apart...that is the honest answer...plus I haven't read up on it (which I will now) and I have seen plenty of CRC guys at Snowbirds the last couple years I went...just never thought about it.
Altered Ego is $199.99 on CRC's site (http://teamcrc.com/crc/modules.php?n...prodID=7719609).
Comes with a bit of goodies, and CRC also has great tires and bodies that work well in tandem with the chassis.
Just wanted to let you know so you can have a look at it as well.

Both have a solid rear pod, a central pivot with spring mechanism, and central spring/damper and, as you say, the same front end design with a connecting flat chassis.
Sure, things have improved through refinement of the design, and better materials and manufacturing techniques, but essentially its genesis goes right back to that 1987 car.
Perhaps more to the point it is like a Porsche 911 today compared to the original Porsche 356 - a triumph of engineering over design!

Hi All Fellow 1/12 scale lovers. I have a question. When the grip comes up on carpet what is everyone doing to get rid of Traction Roll.
I'm running MOD with some great lap times but when the grip comes up we are flipping over a lot. I'm not experienced with Carpet racing and need all the help i can get.
Any advise is appreciated.
Cheers

Smaller Tires, different tires, ca on tires
Lower ride height
Can you give us a hint at your setup ?
My setup
Serpent LTX
Orca or Orion ESC
Orca or Thunder power motor 3.5 - 4.5
Ulti Tyres X compound Medium rear & Medium Front (Medium X is 35shore)
(was running Hard J or X front and Soft J or X rear)
Additive is SXT3
Treat whole of the rear tyre and non on the front.
41.5 rear tyre & 40.5 Front (any smaller they get hard to drive)
Body is Protoform TR-12
Ride height is 3.5-4mm front and 4-4.5 rear
So i can't take the tyres smaller no foam left. Saucing i haven't tried other product or technique( half rear tyre maybe but what half)
CA on tyres i haven't tried yet. What should i do with the CA?
What other sauce to people use on low grip carpet and they what do you switch to on high grip carpet?
Thanks guys.
Do you know what those motors are based on?
Thanks for the quick reply.
