There's a different IRS front suspension then the parts that allready come stock with the BMI?

There are IRS castor blocks and upper arms for oval but those are way to big and heavy for road coarse.

hi,
just wondering if theres any lipos for 1/12 yet ????

I believe they are working on it.

Long Live the NiMH!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed. The new cells are really low maintenance, and extremely reliable. ANYONE can walk into a hobbystore and purchase ultra-competitive Nimhs at this point. Let's leave 12th scale alone until we can have an alternative power source that fits our needs voltage wise, and doesn't require a receiver pack.

...and until someone gets the weight issue sorted out. Low-weight LiPos will not have enough traction and steering to compete with an NiMh-equipped car.

I'm using EnerG cells, and they are like the NiCads of old - negligible self-discharge, good performance over many cycles, and easy to use. Long live NiMh...!!

I second that statement. All I have been hearing from the Lipo guys is that this technology is going to save the hobby, when in fact lipo is more dangerous than NiMH. I have only seen two different packs vent and I have been racing competively for close to five years now. I have also heard about many more lipo packs melting down, exploding etc. There is nothing wrong with the four cell rule as it stands now. Just like I have quoted above from Cypress, the NiMH cells are very reliable and very low maintance. Also, you get much more voltage from a four cell NiMH battery pack than you will a Lipo.
There also has been discussion about putting a voltage regulator in a 7.4 Lipo pack. Anyone want to start a pool as to who will be the first to fool around with this "regulator or resistor" to get slightly more voltage supplied from the pack?

No need for a pool, It'll be me!!!

Cypress, how do you like my new name?

Now you need to knock up your girl, prove her unfit as a parent, get custody of the kid(s), and take her for all she's worth!!! Then your name will TOTALLY reek of awesomeness. P.S. Don't forget to walk around with that tragically misplaced sense of accomplishemnt KFed embodies as well.

Is the stock front end that comes with the bmi db12r car ok for carpet racing?

Yes, very much so.

Man that was a great guess!!! yea i run at the bowl but i havn't seen any one using gojo anymore... Most people just take a scotch brite after every and scuff the tires. But thanks a lot for the help i was way off i was going to get pink rears and purple fronts. thanks again

no problem
I use to run purple fronts but i the steering would fade as the race went on. pink rears have the same shore rating as the yellow rears but the yellows seem to be the common rear for stock racing.
