CRC

If it was crc they would break anyway!Im on my 12th or 13th kingpin.Was fortunate to buy a new car at the height of kingpin recall.New front end sucks,if its not a kingpin its a wheel bearing.Not to mention when you snap a kingpin ,you lose the aluminium hub and plastic hub carrier,spring etc.Other than ride height they should have stayed with the old front end.One step forward two steps back. I can see it all now......."For Sale barely used crc 12th scale .$20.00 OBO. col (cry out loud)

the CRC front end works awesome. The individual small peices are cheap so they should be considered consumables and replaced before failure. Plus with parts on hand when one breaks (for whatever reason) you dont have to pack up and go home. my 2 cents.

Ten bucks for every time you break is not "cheap" when you break a faulty part every round(4 out of 5 one night).Its just the kingpin that sucks .Wheres the "stand behind your product" attitude.Am I supposed to search the track for peices to send back?Frank should be sending Craig 50 frontend pieces to replace all our broken bits.So if anyone wonders why I havent been out in awhile .COST.Sticking it to the consumer sucks!

PS when was the last time you raced a 12th scale crc Jody?Are those Franks balls on your chin?LOL

easy shane..

did the parts break going down the striaght?.. not likely... so you had to have hit something, at some point, to break them.. so you cant blame crc for all of it.. yes maybe they had a bad run of pins.. but has anything else on the car broke?

i hit things pretty hard and pretty often, ask anyone.. and ive found the car to be pretty strong..most of the time my biggest problem is the little c-clip on the king pin falls off and i loose the spring... and only maybe 1 or 2 others use the same front springs as me..

Read about the recall jarrod ya smart ass ,King pins were RECALLED.Even the d guys arent breaking as often .Ask Nick about the bearings on the new (and improved)front end.Manufactuers have you buy the the short and curlys.Are we all in denile or is it just because its me complaining (again).Its just too much to pay fifteen bucks to race plus twenty to thirty bucks for the same parts over and over every race night.I QUIT FYA

Not sure what yer talkin' about, I havent broken a single CRC part in over 2 years...

Just my two cent worth, but I firmly believe that we need to keep things clean on here. This is a public forum and young people are sure to be reading this and any other post from time to time. Please for their sakes play nice guys we are supposed to be promoting the club. As I say just my two cents worth

Ok, this thread has ran its course.

I'm going to lock this thread up as a reminder to all to keep the conversations on topic and G rated.
