Tim, Paul and i are sooting for that weekend you all have the 2nd series race. This is not a definite thing but it is something were are looking towards. I am looking forward to running on the new carpet and greatly appreciate any setup tips you might have for me on the Hyperform car.

Hey guy's the car is running great. (well almost) some minor tuning it should be great and my driving has to get better too to take full advantage of this sweet machine. last weekend was a fast flowing tack. this week should be tight but we never now till we get there.

Well the set up i'm using is pretty much the stock set up mention on the website.

I beleive it's
10 degree front blocks
1 degree of camber
-1 of toe
not sure the thickness of the t-bar.
or the front springs.
i'm using a black spring on the mono shock
and can't remember the oil wieht in the shock
i'm using 75 or 80 weight oil in the tube
front pink and grey rears
monster stock (every one in the club runs the same motor as it the club 12 scale motor)
100 spur with a 27 pinon
our track is alway different from week to week.
out carpet is old so it a low bite track.
Also running the battery rear
and running angle servo.
I found out last weekend that my tbar was not tight enough in which was giving me my steering problems. doh!

Looking for a bit more steering and more rear traction and ideas

I got to figure out gearing for this car how to use it to my advantage.

Lino, don't blame Tim for using something that worked that weekend. When he did not have what he needed to get the better car up and going till late. Hell, if he had it running I would of asked him his setup for the regionals for the Hyperform 12.

Hope to use it before Teesside. Post your setup here and I'll give it a run before hand or pm if it's top secret

I have been thinking about getting one of the hyperform 12 scales.I just never have taped in batteries before and wouldnt want them to come loose.Seems to be a pain to tape them in.What do you guys think.Is there anyway to use some kind of battery holding system on it with out drilling.

Hey Mike! I've never had a 12th battery retension system I was happy with. They always seem to tweak the chassis so most of us end up taping anyways. Once you get used to it, it's no big deal. I tape batteries on my sedan now also for the same reason... Thanks for your interest in our kit.
