I saw a guys 1/12th bobble at the end of a long straight miss the 90-degree turn and hit the roadrail at full steam ahead.
The car literally LAUNCHED like from a ramp and FLEW about 10 feet into the air before re-kitting itself against a concrete wall.
With 6-cells I'd bet on the car leaving a hole in the wall on it's way into orbit.

Why don't they make premounted rubber tires for outdoor 1/12th? I would guess Takeoff could make some sweet 1/12th rubber.

This is why they wer converted to 4 cells. Too dangerous. Also the same reason the nationals dropped 10th pan car w/ 6 cell mod. Those things were missles on foam. Rumor is that DOseck had one that was clocked at over 80 mph. Out accelerated the gas 1/8 scale for the first 60 feet.

I still run my 10th pan car every week.
At least 5 larger races a year and 5 club races.
On smaller tracks these things are a little fast, but hey, what's the fun in being slow? On a tight track running stock you still easily outrun anything 4wd.
Just read up on this thread:http://www.rctech.net/forum/showthre...82#post1411782

On the question about corally tires:
Corally has its own wheeldesign which isn't interchangable with the regular "USA" design. You could mount your own tires on those rims though, if you have your own truer.

Maybe he was talking about 1/12th 6cells mod pan cars...
I use corally tires and wheels, since I drive A 12M.
I always buy foams already mounted on the rim,
But why do you need A truer if you want to mount tires on the rim?
- primusblowsgoat:
The rear axle doesn't have to be A problem, I thought the diameters are the same. And if they aren't you can buy some different size bearings.
But the front end is A bit different.
With "normal" 1/12th scales the bearings are mounted inside the wheel, with Corally's 12th the bearings are in the steering hub.
This makes the steering larger and doesn't fit on a AE style front end.

I just got a set of the IRS rear pod ride height adjusters yesterday and installed them on my 12L4. They allow for finer changes to the rear ride height and insert into the side plates so much more easily than the stock plastic ones. Sweet!

Well Corally used to make a US-style/version Formula 1 and pro10.
The front axles on those cars could be fitted into the 1/12.
It makes a thick front axle with an imperial size diameter, so US front wheels should fit.

Last Sunday, I ordered a few hop-up parts from Irrgang Racing Services (IRS) over the internet. On Monday, I got a confirmation that they were shipped. On Thursday, they arrived and were gleefully installed in my 124 for the Friday night at Gilroy.
Many, many thanks IRS.
In mid-December, I placed two separate orders for similar parts to a manufacturing "competitor" of IRS. They still haven't arrived after numerous inquires on my part and excuses on their part.

The Pro-10(C10-X) and F-1 cars that Corally makes at the moment only exepts corally style rims.
Don't know about the older version, thought they also were only made for corally's rims.
If not, than I guess those older hubs aren't available anymore.
But is there someone who knows if you can change A AE style 12th car/front, rear suspension so it exepts corally rims?
Over here (the Netherlands) I can only buy Corally rims and tires, because there aren't AE style rims available.
Which I don't really like, 'cause I also like to try some other 12th scales than Corally's

I use Corally USA-style rims on my PRO 10. Corally's F1 and C10/x are made with USA-style wheels. Only the 1/12th car is outfitted with Corally-specific wheels.
The front axle on the C10/x accepts USA-style rims. It will only accept rims like the TRC 1/12th, not Jaco or CRC, with the thicker inner diameter to hold in unflanged bearings.
Corally's rear axle is 7mm thick, the USA-style 1/4Inch; 6.34mm.
