Good luck with the car, I think it is the nicest looking 12th scale out there. I am however guarded about buying another Corally 12th scale. I bought an M when they first came out... and roughly 450 bucks later... I still had a car I could not even give away. If you must have the Corally wait for the one that you can put standard wheels on and put an associated front end on...
But then again. I am truley a disgruntled customer. so please take my opinion for what it is worth.... After Corally telling me there was no known problem with the front arms on the M, and I should just not hit anything.. I kinda got turn off....
Off my Soap Box....

Gear ratio's
I drive tourincar outdoor and now i am going to start 1:12th racing indoors.
I have some newbie questions about it.
With tc's you have a couple of gear ratio's you normaly use. How is that on the 1:12th? And is it possible to run 48dp pinions? cause i have those.
What kind of things are also important to think about when running 1:12the 4cell mod?
The car will be an CRC Carpet knive 3.2
Do i have to buy some specific spares/options for the car or are there specific things to look at when building/driving etc?
Thanks for the help.

Corally SP12X
Tim Potter: know what you mean...see the Corally 12X forum...somewhere it states that they are releasing the new kits with revised front ends, like the Associated style. Also, the 12X does have the aluminum arms, which would probably hold up nicely after any crash...not that you need it- I have seen you drive and you're the best in South Florida as far as i'm concerned. The only issues I worry about is the Fiberglass t-bar. Hopefully that wont snap like a twig, like Associated L4's. BUt the rest of the car looks like the best 12 scale to hit the market, yet. No upgrades needed with this kit, i belive. THe only problem is that will they work well on asphalt! We run on asphalt here in south florida and need kits that will work on asphalt as well as in carpet. Has anyone seen a 12X on asphalt? How did it do?

HUDY or Corally make the best arbors I've seen for truers of that style.

Thanks for the nice words... we have way faster guys then me.... But I am positive that car will work great on asphalt. and really, I would not be afraid of the T-Bar... I think you may have had some bad luck with breakage...

Corally USA has both version of the 12x. I saw them today.Both cars have the chassis drilled out for the AE arms. The chassis looked a little on the thick side but I'm sure it will work fine on any surface.

You might want to check out the DB12 from BMI it's a very good asphalt car. Plus the support from Jason is awesome. Just my 2 cents............

of course they are top of the line drivers, in the a-main there were link cars that MR and PL drove for CRC...says alot, when they had 2 other cars from CRC with t-bars they could have run.

SP12X, The released kits also don't seem to have the much improved rear pod that Spahett used at the worlds. It has a top plate that goes all around and according to Dave is much stiffer than the version he used at the Euro's (which was a prototype 12x).
