Essentially, but you'll end up with different handling if you use the same droop figure for your method that we use for ours. And our method seems much easier to me...

If you mean limiting the shock travel by putting spacers under the piston (like Off-Road shocks) then yes, it is. Our advantage is that we can adjust the shock length, so don't have to take the shock apart. HTH

ok so now that i know how to adjust it what is a longer shock going to do for me vrs a shorter shock? thanks for the help and being so patient!

REAR POD DROOP

MORE – makes car turn in harder. More hi-speed steering. Handles bumpy tracks better.

LESS or NONE – car smoother into corners

what size are the front axles? are they 3/16 or 1/8?

Joost K.

1/8 inch normal size 1/12 front axle bearing...

Hi guys, what exactly do you mean by the term drop? I set the centre shock up so that the pod is level to the chassis when the car is ready to hit the track. Is the measurement you are talking about how much the shock extends when you pick the car up from the ground? Sorry if this is a silly question but I want to make sure in my own mind what it is u=you are talking about! Cheers, Chris.

Hey guys what pinion should i run for a 27t motor?

bigger than you would run for a 19T

27t gearing depends on alot of factors but 31/96 should get you in the ballpark.

Just in the middle of building the car. Everything straight forward however, I had a b*tch of a time getting the aluminium shock ends onto the shock shaft. I had to take some emery paper to the shaft end to get them in, it was either that or drill out the aluminium part. I figured that the shock shafts were cheaper in case I messed up (scratching shaft further up causing O-Ring issues)?

Anyone else have this problem? Is this a one off problem or wide spread?

Thanks

No problem on my build. I will be building another shock here shortly, I will report any issues.

Hi Guys
I have just ordered my R5, are the body posts in the same place as the L4?
Will a body cut out/ mounted on a L4 be able to be made to fit a R5?
Many thanks
Mark

Joost K.

Yes, the L4 mounted bodies fit the R5 without any new holes to be made...

Just ordered mine tonight along with a complete set of titanium screws... And got the servo today @ my LHS... Futaba S9257...

Joost. :mrgreen:

Thanks Joost, that was what I wanted to read. Just saved me £20.00!
