I run in Cleveland OH at NORCAR. We have the new black CRC racing carpet. My plan was to set the car up using the long side links (just because for the past few years I have run a CRC car), and once I get it set-up, swap the long out for the short and see what the difference is....

I switch to Roche P12 '16 floating servo top plate... Direct fit.

Less shorter length adjustement for the center damper tough.

Having the same issue, using a Savox SC1250 and it doesn't fit either.

Disappointing to have a brand new car and now I have to either mod the plate, buy a different servo or buy a Roche plate for it.

Destiny needs to fix this issue.

Are there any websites that plan on listing parts for these cars ? Or just dont plan on breaking anything other than front end parts.

I will check with Scott, but I believe the initial shipment only included the car kits.

Default Servo

We made the racing car (not a toy) so we made major servo fit to VD-12 (Sanwa, JR and KO)
CRC had made original design for Sour gear and but no one is using.
This mean servo manufacturers must make the compatible size servo and not the car design.this is the basic idea for third party.

Teru, do you know when parts will be available ? I would like to buy some spare side links and center pivot parts.

I haven't seen one yet. For reference, here is what I have been running in 13.5 and it seems pretty good:

Kit chassis plate
Kit side springs (yellow) just touching
Kit center spring (yellow) with 500cst in shock
Center shock mount plate flipped to underside of servo mount for more inclination
15k Kyosho in 'standard' tubes
Kit ~170mm rear width
5 degree reactive with 4 or 5 degree static (both seem good)
No spacers on front lower arm mounts, 1.5mm spacer on axles
1 degree camber
30k Kyosho in front mini tubes
Kit front springs (think they are Xenon .50)
Protoform AMR, mounted middle of wheel well
Battery back

Teru,

Asking servo mfg. to make a servo for our 1/12 cars is crazy. Our market is so small I don't see that happening. You may want to rethink your direction and provide a car that people can get electronics to fit. If not you may want to state in your manual what servo you designed the car around. You may want to help people out a little rather than dodging the question.

try testlogger.info
I've made it there.
Many cool features in testlogger.info

I've been running preproduction car for quite long time and have experience of 13.5T blinky with GT body and 3.5 boosted & 6.5 blinky mod with LMP body.

Inline is the way to go, faster corner speeds and better speed out of the corner!
