so i just got a rc12l4 and wanted to know if there are any conversion kits out for it to make it a little better against the newer r5's or even a lipo chassis

I am setting up on 12 scale car. I will be running a RS with either a 13.5 or 17.5 with a 1s lipo. Would it be easier running a TQ booster or a Life battery? Which one would be less headaches?

if anyone of you guys is interested im selling a CRC chassis i know im new to rctech but i have grreat feedback on ebay look for frank_1979 http://www.rctech.net/forum/r-c-item...assis-nib.html

I've had no issues with the TQ booster on 13.5 & 17.5 Redlines, with all ver of RS firmware.
It's tiny, and you forget it's even there.

can someone give me the link to the TQ booster i cant find it anywhere for some reason.

hey guys,

just a small question, is 15M by 30M or 50' by 100' is a good space for a 1/12 indoor carpet track?? is it big enough?? lane width 2.5M ??

cheers
Ali

If the track is that big yeah...if that is the track+pits in that area it's going to be really cramped

thanks for the fast answer,
thats only the track area am thinking about, how high should the drivers stand be?? i was going through IFMAR's rule book for eletric onroad and couldnt find enough info about the tracks.

cheers

Ali

This is where I found it.

Look under products and you will see it.

so nobodys able to help me out with this?

You don't need a conversion to make it a capable car, it already is.

Throw in one of the new saddle pack 1S packs and you'll be just fine to start with.

Other upgrades to consider, would be the IRS lowered front end, and the IRS lowered rear pod and motor mounts. I'd worry about becoming decent with the car first though before starting to drop any coin on the car.

Good luck

Paul

The only thing I would get is the lowered CRC pod plates so that you can run with smaller rear tyres. You may have to file a little bit of material away from the non spur gear side to clear you sensor wire though. The 1c saddle pack LiPo's will fit fine. Or you could get a Hara Hammer 12 conversion, which may be a bit hard to find nowadays but you would still need the lowered pod plates. I have used one of those and a normal 1c LiPo fits perfectly in it. Cheers.

cool thanks guys
