Just a little light humor. They work great for some. To each their own.

I went ahead and purchased a LRP Flow team works esc today. Now the big debate over which motor to run. I want to stay in the stock class since I feel I am more consistent and we have a better turn out here for it. I think we also run a 13.5 class but not to sure. Figured I would start with 17.5 first and work my way up.

So what 17.5 motor is a nice smooth and quick motor? I have ran a reedy mach 1 before but I am seeing that the D4 maxzilla is a quick and good one along with schuur.

I don't have the mach 1 anymore. I had it when I had my b4.1. When I got out of racing it went with the car lol.

The Mach 2 is a very popular motor in a buggy....the schuur speed is also popular in socal. Either way you cant go wrong.

Servo horn for XP Ds1313

Hi guys,

I want to use an XP 1313 servo but I can't figure out which of the servo horns included with the kit can fit my servo.

Since the car has a XP Digital servo installed in official pictures, I thught one of the included horns should fit perfectly, insted they're all tight fit.

Am I missing something?

Thanks for help

Fabio

Many thanks man, I was not sure to force it with the screw, since the (big) horn that comes with the servo fits it perfectly. I'll try the Futaba then

I use a small hobby vise and apply gentle "force"

Just been playing around with my b5m set up and thought I'd try an inline setup.

So this is what I came up with...

The battery holder is only temporary BTW

Thanks

Well, ran a whole day of racing yesterday with my schelle battery strap and new xfactory carbon chassis... and even with the added flex in the car, the strap never came out. The strap goes so far INTO the waterfall... that there is just no way it will come out on it's own, unless I completely taco the chassis.

I wonder if the tab that inserts into the waterfall was cut short on yours? Mine goes in a good 5 or 6mm.

Carbon Fiber chassis

Captain - I am curious as to how you liked the new CF chassis at TRCR?

fox shocks

Now that the "fox" shocks have been out for a min,I am curious, to what people that have tried them think about them. Getting ready to pull the trigger on them and just can't make mind up on what shafts to get. From what I understand the chrome shock shafts will be smoother while the tin will last longer. Anybody tried both?
