We use it at Newbury and you can drive a 1/12 consistently all evening.
I was surprised having run at Rug racers (I was pitted next to Remo BTW) and Newbury in GT and liking it. I also made a couple of big mistakes. Ollie had been saying to me that the car was going to be super safe, so I changed shells and tyres to suit and on the additive just used way too little on the front. If I'd really thought it through and looked at setups from other ETS races it would have been a bit more obvious but I think I was just scared about making it too hard to drive. It took me till heat three to get enough coverage. I also think my shell was slightly off centre and once I'd maxed out on the rear track there was some tyre to body interference. Then my motor died.

Having learned from that and having all day Friday at Limburg to play I'm hoping to work from a better starting point.

I have used the IRS axle in my Serpent LTX with no problems and I was using the Slapmaster thrust bearing.

A good second choice is complete rear axle from zen racing.

Default 1/12th Scale Rear Wing - Pics?

Does anyone have pics of a rear wing mounted on 1/12th body? I've seen where some drivers use a clear wing, is there one made for 1/12th applications or is this something made from excess lexan?

If anyone is using one could they pass along some pics as well as information regarding if they bought it or made it themselves as well as how it is mounted?

Thank you for the help.

Servo question.........does slowing down the servo speed needed..? Steering EXP going to -3 (or lower, delay) and dual rate set to like 60% due to the oversteering no mater how hard of the front tires you use...? I am running magenta front and yellow rear (a typical 12th scale carpet tires setup) and car is un-drivable if I am not doing the servo trim (down).

IMO with the compounds of tires your running, the Mag will grip more than a yellow. Its just not a good balance of compounds. Get yourself some Green Rears and dont change anything, and I'll bet you'll be closer to driveable.
