Hey Guys, I started to take Video of our indoor Racing which includes some 10.5 Boosted 1/12th Racing, VTA and Slash classes

Feel free to check it out

Just making up my new chassis that I made that uses parts from the Corally SP12X. This one will accept the original Corally front end, plus the AE and CRC front ends too. Looking forward to running it at the last national of this year's series next weekend. Nothing too out of the ordinary, but a couple of ideas that help out a little:





Cheers, Chris.

Heavy rx pack? My car with a rx pack comes in at or below the minimum weight. So if I run a lighter booster, I now have to strap weight in my car. This additional ballast I now have to run offers me ZERO performance enhancement, and serves no function other than to bring the car up to weight. The rx pack, on the other hand, ensures that all available power from the main pack can be utilized propelling the car. Since I don't run a regulator, my servo is faster as well. I see these as performance gains.
what rx pack are you using and do you use Velcro to switch them out?

Seriously? Small? "Really Small"???!!!

Dude, you need to race on an ACTUALLY "small" track.

Our track is 40 X 65 (slightly more than half the area you describe), and it's a MONSTER compared to our bretheren in Great Falls who race weekly on a track that is 24 X 45...less than half the area of ours.

The track you're describing is a very good-sized indoor track.

Hey all, just starting to get into 12th scale, looking to run in our local 17.5 boosted class. For an avg size indoor carpet track, what's a good starting rollout? I need to order a range of pinions to play around with.

i agree that size would be nice to have close to me.. im at a 25 by 50 size track also running mod were doing 6.5 7.0 laps and stock 6.9to 7.3... you seriously cant blink or lose any thought... and for the guy who says they can see and feel the difference in servo speed.. man you must be a world champ...i have race 1/12 for 15yr and have been sponsored by manybcompany and run noe run for the following below.. and i just switch to the tq booster from a suggestion from eric from ea motorsports and i cand see a diff on a super small track.. act i think you can betterbalance the car out by placing you own weigh were needed

The Dynamite 180 mah pack in my 12ther, and My WGT has a Power Push rx pack. Both have worked flawlessly. As cheap as the dynamite's are, I saw no reason to swith them out. Easier to just tape one in each car and be done with it.

My car's balanced 50/50 left to right with the rx pack. And as for feeling the difference in servo speed, I'm not a World Champion, but I've been doing this for 25 years, and made an A-main or two at a few Major events. I'm sponsored by those listed in my sig, and actually used to run for one of your current sponsors too. The difference in speed between the JR and Futaba is not that great, possibly imperceptible. The KO is significantly faster. Try a Futaba 9650, then pull your car in and strap in a KO951, and if you can't tell the difference then something is wrong. At the IIC, Snowbirds, or Cleveland, when the traction is super high, you can feel ANY change, whether it be a minute change in droop settings on the front kingpins, a 5 wt. difference in oil, or servos of different speeds. 12th scale performance at the highest level is determined by fractions of a mm, as well as fractions of a second. Every little bit counts.

Wow. I thought our track was small ni had no idea We get 9 to 10 second laps for 10.5 1/12th. And 10.7 to 13 second for 25.5 unboosted VTA. I'll have to measure the track. I'd like to know for sure now
