.AJ. Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 So they have invented a racing class? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) Trac off road have just changed their ruling to allow them to be run in micro class . They are 225mm wheel base the same as the long wheel base coverted emb buggies which quite a few have strated running. Just passing info on from their Facebook page as some don't use Facebook. Si.

pieman5 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Had my LC12B1 for a while now and its great, very high quality mini. However, im unable to find the specific spares for it anywhere. I know the EMB parts fit for most of it, but im after the actual chassis, topdeck, battery strap etc. Anyone have any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjagaiden Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Folks - I've seen this built up with a 24xx 4500kv motor. Will it take a 380 size motor? Also what size hex does it use for wheels - can you use 1:10 scale wheels with it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) Yes it will, 2838 motors are used in them most of the time I'veseen 2850 emb truggy motors in them also, 12mm hex you can use 1/10 touring/drift wheels, essentially runs the same as the emb-1 buggy this is my lwb buggy it is the same size as the lc12b1.

pieman5 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) I modded mine to relocate the motor into the front section. Can just about squeeze a 2850 in but i run one of the 2838 Tenshocks. Doing this meant i could fit 2 lipos in (ive tested it on 6s and its withstood a few speedruns so far) 👍 Edited February 28, 2020 by pieman5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you reckon that will be an issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieman5 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 It seems to handle the power ok. I have broken one outdrive on it, but that was during a really bad high speed crash. That and a slightly bent shock tower was the only damage. Nice and strong lil buggy in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 I know the out drives can wear quite badly over time on the emb's and that's on 2s so they must have improved them on the lc12b1's which is needed. Running on 6s will test the whole drive chain and if it is holding up then it shows how good they are, it must be flying on them, what kind of speeds are you getting.

pieman5 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Fastest so far is just over 94mph, but ive done 92mph with it on 4s so clearly some tuning/testing is needed. I'll be shooting for well over 100mph later this year 👍 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
