Just had to fill in these missing zeros.

Ahhh, thank you.....That was driving me crazy

lol @ Yokomo Team 'supporting'

As Troy said, I am not sure that Yoshi ever understood what they stated to him in Tech and that it clicked that he had received a warning. It wasn't until after he failed tech in A2 that the situation was explained to Teru, who was able to translate and explain. Tough situation on the whole.

Doesn't matter what they do in Japan. This is Worlds, different rules, different situation.

As a practical example of the language barrier, see if there is any video of the A final when they announced the names of each driver and had them step forward on the drivers stand. Pretty clear that Yoshi had no idea what was going on.

The language barrier was for sure an issue to properly understand the warning and rules.
But on the other hand he and the whole team knew that he doesn’t speak any english and they should have take care of that beforehand to prevent any issues.
There were a lot of drivers from non english speaking countries and they prepared themselves.

Yes, I agree. I also think that there is some variety of obligation to ensure warnings are properly communicated, though. When you speak to Yoshi it is pretty clear that he doesn't understand English, so in hindsight it would have been prudent for tech to seek confirmation of the warning. What is done is done and as I said before - tough situation.

Hello Erhard, yes, the front roll center of our car is on track. Rear roll center is a bit higher. Our car also has a pivot-joint but in front of the battery and lower compare to others 1/12 cars.

Hmmmh,
but your joint only alows for a roll movement, right?
Classical link cars joints alow roll and up/ down of rear axle related to main chassis.
Up/down or lets say rear spring movement has a pivot near to those side screws.
Thus your squat angle is pretty flat compared to usual.
However very interesting!

Hope soon someone opens a specific thread for this.

Two ball joints placed along the longitudinal axis are on our car. Yes, it allows only roll movement.
Vertical movement of the rear pod is via flex.

Until you hold the Awesomatix 1/12 in your hands you won't understand how it works. I assume you at first you'll believe the car is broken... But ultimately you are just holding it wrong

I had the chance to see it and it looks awesome. All I want to know is when I can order mine

perhaps waiting till theres a realistic idea of when it would be available. Otherwise it’s gonna end up like the Losi buggy thread. Months of speculation.


Don’t get me wrong. Car looks fascinating, having just stepped into 1/12.

Looks like the a cool link/T bar combo. Does it drive more like a t-bar car did?

Having the discussion and speculation contained in a central location might be beneficial though instead of having it buried in the generic 1/12 thread

True. I just watched as that Losi thread spiraled into silliness. Started good but turned.
