I finally got my CK out of pile mode . Well I actually had another guy help me out a lot. It's actually driveable now. And I got the ride height set because the car would hit all sorts of places on the track where it wasn't perfectly smooth.

anybody notice the difference?
some buy just a left side bulkhead to save money thinking the AE already has a aluminum one on the motor side. won't work

CRC, SM, Niftech, etc. bulkheads should be run in pairs. the axle height adjusters holes are cut .090 lower to get max tire wear. CRC has their new VER 3.2 pod plates out now in red, blue. and silver for $29.99 a pair. the motor side now has cooling fins added and the left has CRC cut in it. they still have to update the site to reflect this.

I did that once-but I thught that the shock fluid felt good for a lap and then it felt like running very thin oil. Maybe it has the viscosity of damper fluid , but it doesnt stick to the piston and tube. Thats my theory. I would stick to Corally, Trinity and Losi Hydra fluids.

One of the owners posted it in one of the threads on their site, I don't recall which one (thread).

Yes, I know, but I work part-time at a hobby store so I'd rather buy them through there.

Thanks.

Thanks everyone for the part lookup help...Got the part on order...actually already on its way

Is there a "prefered" brand of 1/12th scale tire out there? Right now I have CRC's rear tire and Jaco fronts, the CRC's seem to take a ton of abuse (trust me I have tried breaking them) and so have the Jaco's

CRC are indestructable, however you pay for it in how much they weigh (they are heavy). However, I have yet to break the new Jaco rims.

Jaco and CRC have the same foam. Any brand is pretty much fine, nothing is bad.

CRC wheels didnt slow Frank Jr down at all last year at the Champs. He had the fastest stock 1/12th car at the race (masters and stock). In the stock class, Bailes and Mark finished 1-2. Simply doesnt make much of a difference.

Talked to CRC about it and they suggest that the weight issue is way overrated.

Lookin to get a couple of new mod motors for 12th scale and was wondering what motor guys are running. Ti based, quad mags, winds, brush spring setup. Any input would be great.
