What is the Wheel base of the BMI Conversion Kit versus the RC12L4 or Hara H12?

--Kevin

Jim,

If you go to the LV post office, they may still have my picture up on their Most Wanted wall.

Haven't entered; but, I may fly down to spectate at some point if work isn't too bothersome that week. Interbike (my last racing passion was with mtn bikes) is also that same week at the LV Convention Center. Could kill two birds with one trip.

Good skill (luck) to NorCals best...You are da main man in 12th with help from OD and Crashby.

Bill

Thanks,

Hope to see you there.

yes, the t-shaped brace for the rear body mounts is included

check the web site under products, under associated. there you will see the conversion for the 12th. i know the assoc pic is for a tc4, but just follow the link

The BMI conversion will be ready to ship next week. If you have any questions about it, you can PM me. I don't get to look threw the all forums as much as I would like, but I'll do my best to help out. If any questions have been posted about the conversion that haven't been answered, shoot them over to me. I'm usually looking threw the BMI 1/12 conversion thread, you can post there too.
Thanks,
Wayne

hey guys,

i have a bunch of the 1/12th kits 99% complete.i am finishing the new style pod plates now and should have them completed by tommorow or friday.there is also going to be a slightly new look to the kit.we have incorperated a few minor changes for the new carpet season that really came out nice.i will post a pic this week.

here is a pic of the kit.

the kit includes the chassis,cross t brace,upper pod plate for damper tubes and washers,lower c/f pod plate,aluminum pod plates,aluminum self centering dampening post,all aluminum standoffs and mounting hardware.

does anyone here run a CRC T-force on asphault?
Im running an 8 turn and i was interested in any setups
people may have for them on asphault?

thanks

Jim, OD and Steve,

United had a new deal with frequent flyer miles from SFO to LV. I'm coming in on Friday morning. Stardust is full so I will be at the Tuscany. Just spectating, PBing, cheering for my buds and catching a show.

Now, I really will have my pic at the PO.

Try this:

Front:

.020 Spring, no damping
10deg Reactive caster.
4 deg static caster
1.5 deg neg. camber
No link between the Left and Right front suspension
Servo Angled with ball studs in middle holes on Kimbrough servo saver.
1.80" Double Pink front tires
Sauce 1/2 inner with Paragon FXII for 15 min then resauce with Trinity Tire Tweak for an additional 15 min.

Rear:
.68 T-Bar using only the two outer holes
Remove side springs and use conventional tweak screws
30wt oil in center damper, green spring (try 25wt if the track is bumpy)
Trinity white grease in the side damper tubes
1.90" Pink rear tires
Sauce whole tire with Paragon FXII for 15 min then resauce with Trinity Tire Tweak for an additional 15 min.

The ride height will be ~4mm but I race it down to 3mm for ideal performance. With this setup you car will not slide much so tire wear is really good.

An 8 Turn on asphalt is kinda nutty unless you are running at a tiny track that is all 180's. Most Mod guys run a 9 or 10 outside. I would try 24/100 with 1.9 rear tires and an 8 turn. If you get a 9 or 10 run 25/100. These gear ratios are pretty standard. Its pretty much up to your finger whether you dump or not...lol!

Hey guys... Who makes those thick fiberglass t-bars, I believe they're 0.081? I thought it was power push for some reason but I couldn't find it on their site...

thanks adrian!

which bodyshell are you using with that setup?

Hi im new to all this

in the past i had a mardave 1/12 scale car its basicly like these cars
but a lot simpler - i modified it put a diff on it and a custom carbon chassis
the suspension was none existant on the front and primative on the back

anyway the days of that car are long gone and i got an rc12l3 with the hara hammer chassis

i do not want to race this car. i am aiming to do the same as the mardave car
build a car that handles O.K without messing around with all these detailed setups.

ill be running a cheep modified motor (21t) and 6 sub C cells or 8aa cells (2400s) i want the car to do about 35mph tops

the chassis will be redesigned to have no holes in it for batteries (velcro straped on) etc just the screw holes and anywhere where it can be done there will be more carbon
between the edges and the holes (eg the little blue posts at the back will be coming out as i cant see that they do anything)

all im looking for is a car that will be drivable on the street and strong as hell
mabee race the odd kid with cheep tamiya

will it work!?

i have cad plans if any one is interested and i have pics of my old car too

main problem i had in the past was spinning out pulling in one direction and crap handling (needing a whold car park to turn at full speed)

any help would be great

alex

oh 1 more thing - it will be using a street style body (like touring but a hatchback - the cars that we use in the uk)
