416WE rework



Rebuild the 416WE, ususal chassis maintenance and changed to Smokem graphite steering post link, Tekin RS Pro with 10.5 motor, and a DNA 1 body shell.

Yokomo R12





Happy new year 2011 !
First car to run on 1-1-2011 is my R12.
It is equipped with SXX v2 comp and a x11 4.0t and a HB bodyshell.
Original tires (Yokomo 27t and 28t) is a bit thick, rear tires diameter at 51.5mm !
First testing is basically stock setup, ride height is 4.5mm/F and 5mm/R, a bit high but I cannot do much with the thick tires, it will be smaller anyway after a few runs.
Gear ratio at 20/90T with a rollout ~35.9.
SXX setting is 1630 as a fresh start.
So far so good and the car seems to have high grip in and out corners.
I am happy on the first run especially on 1 Jan with special permission by my boss.
A good way to start 2011.
