Default 1/12th scale shootouts at Ripon

Special announcement...Because of Mother's Day next Sunday. Ripon will be racing on Saturday night for the next two weeks.

I am expecting an absolute 1/12th scale shootout by those that don't have to be at mom's house on Saturday too...

Ripon is the most awesome 12th scale track I've been to. It's the best kept secret in N. California.

Fixed caster is adjusted by moving the white shims to the different locations on the hingepin.

Dynamic caster is adjusted by changing out the caster blocks. (ie. 0,5,10 degree blocks)

i know how to adjust caster, I was wondering how to actually adjust it becasue the location of the screws is hard to get a regular hex wrench to work. Someone recomended a ball hex wrench, so maybe ill try that, or just use the L wrench supplied with the kit

if you dont know what im talking about, i am running the 10 degree mounts, and want to move the caster shims where both are at the top, which i think is 6-4 degrees of caster, but like I said, the location of the screws is difficult to remove and was just wondering how to properly remove them

I think I understand. I take the whole front end off of the chassis to change my caster blocks between 0-5-10.

Charlie,

If it allows you to sleep at night then you can think that and yes I know you can have a good 14.88 seconds worth of driving, unfortunately the race is 8 minutes long. I am interested to see the results to see what my time was for the final, I don't know if I broke my TQ or not.

On a more serious note, next week is going to be great as Jrrc and Ashby are going very well. OD may of knocked some more of his rust off too. If we can get two finals going then a little of the chance element will be reduced.

Default 12th scale website

Setups...... reports..... tips and tricks...... racers rides.... everything. All just 12th scale. Thanks.

yeah, i used to maintain "12th scale journal". I still have all the info and files. I just need to update some things. I will check into it. Friend that used to help me with it suggested throwing it back up.

I used to get setups from Cyrul, Spashett, Blackstock, Orr, etc etc. Shared a lot of my racing secrets or some from other diehard 12th fans.
