kiza1208 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daveyb84 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Knight Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brit_bulldog Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 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!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
