I'm thinking of running my carpet knife on oval. Now I know this car isnt intended for oval but just as a once in a while thing I thought I'd see what kinda imput I could get. any setup help appreciated. The track I'm considering running at is a 80x40 flat track

I personally think a standard roadcourse 12th scale is faster on oval then a oval version.. the cars are so small, there is to much weight on the left side..i think it will work just fine for you.. only setup change is maybe a harder right front spring to help the car be a little less agressive..

mike if you drove my 12th scale you would think differently.. btw anytime you want to borrow it you're more tham welcome..

I have presonly ran 12th both ways when i first started racing its all in the setup but i still prefer the oval cars over the road cars the best thing to do is fing the center of the pod and use an flathead screwdriver or an X-acto knife and set the tweek screws so the right rear picks up first by a little bit and work it from there

The million dollar question is what body will they let you run? Give me a Parma speed8 and it doesn't matter what car you run. It WILL turn. LoL

Ha ha But the car was set up by KOZ.. By the time you get it back it would be allmangled.. HE HE..

aww Mike thats bad lol

So far so good, keep it coming guys. Probably going to run a monte carlo body.

How about the other way around? I have a 1/12 oval that i would like to run on roadcourse! would the longer wheel base be any advantage? I dont think the left side weight is any big deal. Just a thought,your opinions would be helpfull.

Good news! I just found out ANY body is allowed

cool let me know how you do and did you try what i said

looks like my batts arent going to make it here before the holiday which means no 1/12 oval for me.... but there will be next time. That being said when I do make it out I would like to use the afore mentioned montecarlo body... any additional tips would be appreciated.... I know someone made mention of a stiffer rf spring what one(s) would you suggest? along with anything else.
