Does anybody have a picture of their R5 with a Tekin RS installed in it? If so could you please post it. I want to see how you all have it installed. Thanks to those that do post a pic.

Anyone have a spare yokomo brace they are willing to part with? 12r5.1 should be here tomorrow wanted to put one on during the build. Thanks

I have a an extra one but seemed to have misplaced it. My gurl did some house cleaning and now all my rc parts are missing hope she didn't throw away. I'll let you know if I find it. I'm asking for $15.00 +ship

Send me a pm when you find it. Ill take it. Gonna start the build today. Thanks

Where can I get the Yokomo brace in the US?

The only place I know of is rcmarket they are not in the US though. Sorry not much help.

anybody looking for a new in box 12R5 with parts to make rear pod brushless, check for sale thread. low price.

.

Just a quick quesion.. would the Castle Creations Sidewinder 4600 brushless on 2S lipo be too much? would it even fit?

just geting into this

heres a pic of my car

Hey guys,

Just picked up and built my first 1/12 car, the RC12R5.1. Ive got experience in TC and was wondering if someone can explain to me how to:

A) Properly mount the electronics in a balanced manner. (I have some XRAY balancing posts if that helps) Should I mount it just like I do in TC? Basically I try to achieve a balance side-to-side on a flat surface.

and...

B) Set ride height, droop, and tweak with this pan-car. I see that the center shock has a collar, but am unsure about how that relates to the setting of the rest of the car. The set-screws on top of the side springs obviously set tweak, right?

Also, when I threaded those set-screws into the carbon fiber rear brace, i noticed that one side didn't quite thread in perfectly straight. Its at an ever-so-slight angle. Is that going to be a problem?? Hopefully not, or i'll need a new crossbrace...

Welcome to the 1/12 world! Check out this site: http://www.petitrc.com/reglages/asso...tedRC12R5.html

On the Carbon brace area. Yes mind is at a slight angle too. I haven't had any handling issue with it.

it saddle pack just might fit, but it would be illegal. in general the class races with a sensored motor and 4 cell (4.8v nominal) which is getting replaced very quickly by 1s lipo (3.7v nominal)

i dont think we care much about the class racing.. a bunch of us are just getting into it. 1c with the booster seems like a pain

I dont think the 12R5.1 needs a saddle pack, or would most 2S be too tall to fit under the shock.

Yes, most would be too tall or too long unless you get the 1500mah 10C ones. You don't want the battery to straddle the links or impede the pod.
