sorry to hear about the class dying off. Don't even run the class at my track anymore. I've stopped racing all together. I just drive my Basher trucks and crawlers with my son

I still race, but only 2 wheel mod and 4 wheel 13.5. I’m stuck in yokomo town and their 4 wheel is so fragile they are too scared to run it in mod lol..

Just the kind of info I was looking for, thanks!

Kit shock oils seemed a bit thick to me as well for loose tracks.

With the release of the DTM3/CAL3 in particular the new bigger hingepins and hingepin inserts, and considering how close the AE B74 matches up to the yokomo a-arms, I wouldn't be surprised you see some fitted with those. Rumor also is Yokomo is looking to address the a-arm issue as well.

Looking forward to racing with a buddy who has the XT4 with my YZ4SFT. it looks nice, hope Yokomo makes a full version too.

Motor/ ESC recommendations

Hi everyone
I just ordered one of these kits and I’m not sure which motor and esc to purchase. Any suggestions would be appreciated. This kit will mostly be run outdoors on larger 1/8 tracks like Thunder Alley and Wild West RC.
Thanks everyone.

Pinion

don’t know if I’m stupid or what...can’t fit a pinion larger than 20T in the motor mount.

Simply no way to tighten the grub screw.

Xt4

I am running a tekin gen 3 6.5 and a rsx pro.. runs great.. I have around a 16 tooth pinion on it.. I have found you really need a more low pro pinion to use on it.
