Hey,
The lower arms are from Intergy.

From the pics you should be able to notice I have 1 odd shock. On the truck theres 3 Intergy shocks, and 1 AE shock, the AE shock has plastic end caps and I was curious if theres an alloy option.

ProudSavageOwnr · 03-08-2007, 03:17 AM

i see...nah i dont think anybody makes some shock tops on their own unless u buy another shock kit....

my arms are by 3racing...

heres a pik

i should be getting my wraith 7k tomorow..and ill be replacing the battery plugs n stuff with shorter bullet plugs like the 1s on the motor side of the mamba.

also gona install a fan and see if i can fit my rc somehow next to my battery..

anybody got a micro servo thats brand new for sale? or hardly used or used for piss cheap? or wants to give a micro servo away for free? i need a micro servo lol.....the fullsize 1 dosnt fitunder the body properly

monstercol · 03-08-2007, 04:54 AM

Hmmm,

Sorry no servo's going here. In fact i think i need to get rid of the AE one and probably chuck a KO in it.

Anyhow, It looks like your using Tc3 / Tc4 shocks? they bolt right on? is this a popular mod? It also looks like you have them on upside down??

ProudSavageOwnr · 03-08-2007, 12:41 PM

nah theyre not tc3 shocks........theyre pureten gp spider shocks......same shocks that are on the fwo5S and RR and RRR or w/e they are now lol

yeah all my shocks are upside down so they dont leak.....plus lower CG

ill be happy to take that servo off u if u dont mind....only thing id need the little servo saver bit to cause i accidently modded my original 1 instead of the hitec1...stupid me

i'm new to the rc18. i just got one & need to know what gear should i run. i'm running a brushed krystal motor. right now i got a 14/60 in it. is that good??

ProudSavageOwnr · 03-08-2007, 08:33 PM

yeah thats pretty good.....might wana try a 12 or 10 or somthing lower for more runtime

twan · 03-09-2007, 05:40 AM

For handling CG is not as important as unsprung weight. The heavier the suspension the slower it reacts.
