advice on 1/12 pan car.

[kiza1208]

Hi guys,

I'm going to try to start 1/12 pan car racing and I was wondering what the best chassis is (or at least people opinions). I will be Tring for the brca nationals in 2016 with so I will need someone to point me in the direction of the rule and regulations for the brca nationals. I want to be able to have a lot of upgrades available and be able to have a lot of tuning? Best electric chassis?

Cheers, Kieran

Hi mate.

I used to run an associated rc12r5.1 pan car. I didn't run it for long, it's so hard haha.

Cars are super quick, even in stock class. They eat through tyres because you have to lathe them down to a band as well so it's quite expensive. You need at least a 90c 1s lipo to even get close to being competitive and you need a motor with sooooo much timing.

The guys I raced with are really helpful and they enjoyed it but it's not for everyone. Everyone that went well with me ran crc, zen, or serpent cars.

You will need a micro servo too which is about 75quid for a good quick one

you would be struggling for 175 to be honest unless you went 2nd hand.

Will pan car shells fit a supastox?

[Daveyb84]

Mine don't fit. Completely different layout too

[kiza1208]

Could use a supastox at my local club till can afford a pan car

You need reflexes like a Jedi to run 1/12. I have an old RC12 lying around if you want it. Send me a PM

Is it definitely 1/12 pan car racing you want to do? GT12 could be a good option instead if you haven't already tried it?

Pan Car is not that tough.

1s Lipo and 10.5 Motor is very driveable

 

The important thing is to run what you can race locally regardless of the Class!!!
