Na its a 12l4. It looks like its got a IRS rear like Chris said, also a purple anodized screw kit. clean lookin car. It also looks like it may have a IRS shock two.
Also it doesn't really matter if the stand is Hotbodies.
I have a IRS 1/12 and i am using a duratrax stand.

It is definitely not the Cyclone 12. P2 has one and the rear pod in the picture does not match the rear pod on P2's Cyclone12.

Its an L4 with purple anodizing. Andy raced an L4 during the BRCA 1/12 nationals before hotbodies released their kit.

Hi guys,

I have an upcoming race on carpet (I'm driving a 12L4 FT), and I wanted to know something more about a set-up for the car. I have searched a lot, and set-ups from the top drivers are completely different on the site of Associated. I will be driving a 23T and 19T, how about the gearing and tire diameter? The rest I can figure out myself with trial-and-error, but gearing and tire diameter I need to know.
The track isn't really big, and medium-high bite.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry to barge in but my buddy in The Neatherlands said he saw some 4WD 1/12th cars at a race. Anybody heard of these? I have a ABC Spark from 20+ years ago so if these things return im all about getting one.

It depends on what motors you are using.

Default front arm travel

OK hopefully I can explain this right. First should there be room for the spindle to move up and down between the upper and lower arm. If not where do i need to shim it at? (above the spindle, below the spindle, or on the top of the king pin?

Thanks for your help.

He means what brand. C2, Komodo, Orion, all are geared differently.

Most set ups call for no space between the spindle and arm, but no pre-load on the spring. Put the shims on the top of the kingpin. Just make sure that the play, or lack of it, is the same on both sides

Sorry but once again, it matters what brand the motor is based on. Team Brood has 19t motors based on Atlas, Trinity Komodo Dragon, Trinity C2, Reedy and maybe others, including the V2 you mentioned. If you can figure out which Brood motor you have someone will be able to help you. I know a good starting rollout for the Komodo on a track like the one you mentioned is 47mm. C2 would be higher. Reedy even higher
