Before I ran mine when it was mint clean, I used some armor all protection wipes and wiped down everything but the tires, it made everything even slicker than it already was and dust and debris is easily wiped off.
If you ever run yours outside on the asphalt you will know what I am talking about, yeah we don’t have any indoor tracks where I live but have been contacting roller skating rinks to try to get something started. It would be nice to leave the pine needles and pebbles behind!
Thanks for sharing your experience with us, I tried the glue up the side walls and that was a great tip been only running on asphalt so far. And the tip about the loosening the four screws really helped. Do you think this car would benefit from a sway bar? Do you use sway bars on your other rc racing cars?
Only my buggy has sway bars. None of the road coarse cars do. Just not enough grip to that level. Seat bars control grip in a more heavy handed approach. We couldn’t use them in my case just because of rules.
@@Dorkyand40 a guy on TH-cam already got a losi nascar going 80mph and that's crazy for a 1/12 scale car you're going to need a football field to run it 😯😆
I ran mine for the first time last night and definatly need to loosen up the pivot points as you mention. How did you wire a transponder? I see there are two ports on the top of the speed control, you mention eliminating reverse, but why is there two?
not really counting. all i am worried about is a 5 min race and its just fine. full throttle bell to bell takes it down to about 60% and it takes about 20-23 mins to charge with the standard charger and a 25watt walwart
Using the stock charger and a 18watt USB-c wall plug it takes about an hour to fully charge the battery when the battery has been drained to the low voltage range from esc. And agree with your charging times when only partially drained after a 5 minute race. Do you think the 5000 mah spectrum battery is too much for this car for run times? My son and I are averaging around 30-45 minutes run time on the 50% percent setting and about 25-30 on 75% that’s when the low voltage in the esc cuts out. We haven’t ran a full 100% through a battery yet. 5-20 minute heats would be cool. When we get to 100% driving skills I would like the battery to last longer than the claimed 20 minutes but the dimensions on the 5000 mah box would require modifications to the frame. I am thinking it would be best to just get more of the stock batteries to achieve our longer run times as well to one battery stressing the motor and esc longer than 20 minutes is a recipe for disaster I am thinking. Might be fun to run the blow your motor 5000 mah race! lol pre requisite must bring fire extinguisher. That heat sink piece works been noticing a 10 degree difference in motor temps and heat sink.
Didn’t give you just been doing oval locally with this the tt02 and oval works carb and running b7 off-road. Just kind of go with the flow. We have an on road shoot out coming at the end of the month and I’ll be driving the x12

Nice. We just blow off the carpet fuzz and wipe off the tire marks with tire prep :)

I have the adjustable turnbuckles and camber links on order from horizon I know from past experiences running nitro cars on pavement years ago 😮😎👍
Nice additions for the car. Who knows we could end up with a modified class too down the road

@@richardbrown6762 things get silly for some reason
@@Dorkyand40 I got my losi nascar running close to 30mph now and I'm happy with it and it still has the stock motor and esc 😎👍
What gearing are you running @@richardbrown6762

only one aux port the fan is plugged into. you need a y servo adapter
what kind of run time are you getting on the stock battery?
