Well, perhaps a bit of poetic licence...!

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!

Front end similar...rear suspensions in 86 were mostly t-plate cars

Carpet season is around the corner her on the North East!

With the d3.5 banned whats the hot motors for 13.5 and 17.5?

I just picked up a D4 17.5 and will let you know how it goes... I also looked greatly at the SchuurSpeed as a second option.

Team Scream Racing. Great motors, come pre-tuned, just gear it and go.

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

Less sauce, different sauce, time saucing

Smaller Tires, different tires, ca on tires

Lower ride height

Can you give us a hint at your setup ?

Looking for roll out with 10.5 blinky and boosted.

regarding traction rolling in mod, I would add softer side springs and raising them off the pod more if possible to what Dave already said.

Thanks for the quick reply.
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.

Yes, please let me know how it goes.

Do you know what those motors are based on?

You want to create a nice bead on the sidewall only. Also, make sure you round off the corners.
