How much would the diff oil viscosity change from the summer months to the winter months? Do you need to use a thicker oil in the summer to get the same results?

Hey everybody. Im new to ramstein and i was wondering if anyone knows where the nearest track is or a good place to bash my rc's. I tring to find the nearest place to Ramstein.

I'm about to mount some Panther Raptors i believe and wanted to know which way the tire goes on the rim. One side of the tire has an edge like a straight line all around it and the other side doesn't. Which part is the front and why ?:tire::confused::confused::tire:

sorry for repeating this thread. but i have an xt8 and managed to fit my transponder in the box. would this prevent signals?

Hey there all. I picked up an OFNA Ravager this weekend for a song. It is used and needs a little love but it should be workable. The engine is the Force 28 which I have seen mixed reviews on this forum about. This is my first nitro car although i have been dabbling with electrics for a while now. I bought this to get my feet wet with nitro. (the price was right, i could not resist) My intentions are to race it as a late model conversion on an LTO dirt oval. I will also fun run on 1/8th scale off road track when time allows. There are futaba s3004 servos in it, and i know they are weak and cheap and i will replace them when i torch them.

My question(s) is. Does anyone out there own one and what should I look for as far as potential issues or pitfalls with this buggy? Weakpoints in the buggy itself, quirks and other points of concern are really what I am looking for. I am only racing this at the club level on an oval so I need not upgrade too much into ghigher end stuff. Like I said, if this nitro thing sticks, i will upgrade the car later when I am comfortable with the whole thing.

thanks in advance for the insight all!

Hi guys,

During winter we run on carpet indoor track. It is basically the same carpet that onroad 1/10 and 1/12 runs. Because of nitro cars the grip isn't very good - probably because of the oil from the fuel. And the temperature is below freezing also ;) Track is flat with some jumps - but its fun!

I woner if soneone has good advice on the tire. We know, that there's one magical tire that works on the carpet well but its impossible to get it these days. Typical tires don't work. Maybe the softest mixtures with very hard inserts would be good.

I'm planning to get some hard inserts and test Proline M3 Bows etc.

Hope to hear some advices! And it is capet, not astroturf.

Hiya,

I just received my used Hyper 8, but many of the underside countersunk hex screw are stripped and wont come out.
Is there a tool to remove them?

Also, the center driveshafts on the car have a lot of movement in them - they can move back and forth a large amount. Is this normal for this car?


Many thanks for any help!

We are running our first big off road track. But things are starting to wear away pretty quickly. I'm sure everyone else's tracks need to be maintained, but if there are any pointers that will make things easier/stronger, please share them.

Also, are there some tips on making a good jump? Things like angle, shape, etc. Thanks!

anyone have any pics or info for the steering mod? any advice or tips for performance? thanx

Does anybody know off hand what the length of the front losi 2.0 8ight buggy shock is?

Thanks

Hello. I need a quick run-through on how to shim a brand new B5 so that the pilot shaft isn't sticking about 2mm past the clutch bell... I have some small copper washers (losi shims) some medium silverish (losi) and some 7mm big ones... Please help, and any help is awesome!

Would you consider your self faster running a pro's setup? Would you have someone who is faster than you setup your car and you having to adjust your driving style to the car rather than the car to your driving style just to save a tenth or two.

Have an ws7 with a good pinch.
What person or company would you suggest to get it ready to be race ready?
Thanks

I have motors that you can run a tank of fuel at 230 deg. and pull the back plate off and there is a oil film on the con rod but the crank and rear bearing is dry no oil film what so ever. Can some one help me out?

Why/why not?
