cool:D

Now i just got a 12lc and am wondering wheather the 2 holw rear wheels are still made :confused:
also, are there any other bodies out for this wonderful pan car?

also, does anyone have any pics of their car??

[Grizzbob]

Yes, TRC's wheels fit both 2 & 3 hole hubs(but Jaco's are still 3 hole only, I believe)...as for a pic of mine, I had one, but I seem to have lost it....:p

[trxstr1961]

latest issue of RCCA has trc having 12th scale foams out that will work on my ride YYYEESSSS!!!:cool:

[trxstr1961]

Now where do i getthese tires/rims at:confused: i dont see them on tower... so where else is there :confused:

[Grizzbob]

Well, you could try Stormer Hobbies. I've ordered a number of things from them before(including some TRC tires), & I've always been quite happy with them.....:cool:

[trxstr1961]

[gacjr0]

Go to the bottom, and pick the compounds you want. You want TRC tires for the rear, Jaco front, so you can use unflanged bearings.

These are TRC grey rears, a good starting point for carpet.

You might want to call though, to make sure you get the yellow wheels with the 6 holes, so they fit your car.

[trxstr1961]

would green be good enough for parking lots running?? or would something harder work better:confused:

[Crazy Canuck]

Green is fine to start, but it is a very soft compound of foam, so it will wear quickly. When your green tires wear out, pick up a set of purple fronts and pink rears for parking lots. They will have good wear.

I just bought a 12L3 and will have it in a few days. I am a nitro racer and this will be my first electric....what would you recommend for a speed contoller, servo, and motor? I would rather buy the better stuff now instead of buying lower quailty or performance stuff and regret it later, so any help would be appreciated. THanks

[Crazy Canuck]

Servo:
JR 3550 or Airtonics or Futaba equivalent Micro Servo. Not Hitec. Stay AWAY from the Hitec

ESC: Depends on what you prefer. LRP Quantum, Novak GT7, Kenyence, GM, whatever tickles your fancy should be good. You want lightweight and no motor limit, ideally.

Motor: depends on class. Mod: I would get a Kr, in the 8-10 range to be competitive. Stock: Trinity Monster Stock.

I'd like to pick up a used 12L3, if anyone knows of a good source for "for sale" RC's other than eBay, please let me know. :)

[trxstr1961]

i saw a couple on here for sale, just look in the for sale/trade section :)

[trxstr1961]

i just ordered the blue screw set for my 12l, cant wait for it to arrive! :cool:

[Kazzamoto]

Any pics on which slots to run a four cel pack on a 12L3?

[trxstr1961]

best place to find setups for your 12L (http://rc10.com)

[Kazzamoto]

does not mention anything about battery position.

[trxstr1961]

well, formoretraction, id run them in the back holes, and for more steering, the front holes.

[Brolzy]

Here's another place for 12L setups (http://www.chemistry.ohio-state.edu/~mlufaso/rc/setup/12l3/index.html) , that's where I got my baseline to start from.

[GT Freak]

well, i finally got my screw set last week, starting to take a nice look to it, now i need wheels/tries,a new body, and eletrics, them ill be good to race!:)

[GT Freak]

nothing new on the 12l front here, sorry all! :(

Look at www.rcrevolution.com

[aspiringrcracer710]

where can I find parts for an original RC12L? Im getting one from a friend

[microrcdude]

what parts are you looking for??? Tower sells parts. I'm looking for more parts right now. Sometimes on e-bay, someone is selling a large parts lot. I think most factory team parts will fit on them

[kilrbzz]

New to On-road but I've been racing off-road for three years (B3,B4,T3,Emaxx). A few questions about the L3.

Are there major differences between the older models and the L3? A local track races indoor carpet, 4cell, 19t spec class and 8 minute heats. Will 3000's Nimh make the 8 minutes? Any recommendations on tires, setups, spare parts, etc? Thanks

Really Im not looking for anything in particular. I just wanna know that if/when I break something, I can replace it

[aspiringrcracer710]

Anybody know (or remember) the part number for 12L servo mounts? Also, whats a good servo saver for 12th?

[Taz_S]

RC12L4 should be out soon.

[trakhak]

We have them at my shop! Check it out at SouthEastRC.com They look great! I wasnt going to switch out, I love my L3, but now after seeing it I think I have too!

[therealdanimal]

I got my L4 on Tuesday and raced it on Saturday at a local parking lot track. That thing is dialed! The stock setup is good with green jaco's all around, and I sauced the rears with gojo hand cleaner. I was spankin' everybody until the screw came loose on my servo saver. I was comparing the L3 with my car and they look very similar. I was wondering if some parts are compatible. Be aware that it comes with a 64P spur gear and a servo saver for airtronics, and the woven brace that goes between the front suspension uprights and the brace that goes on the t-bar were in the wrong bags, the shorter brace goes on the suspension uprights. Also the holes in the t-bar brace weren't big enough for the screws so I had to do some drilling. Can't wait until next Saturday.

[Rdub202]

man i cant wait to get my L3 running and racing at the LHS. i need a new servo and im ready.
