Okay Mike, I think I'm going to pull the trigger on the Exo3. Am I going to need the soft spring for the shock? I'm going to order the extra screws too.

hey i need advice on a brushless system for the mrs4. It has alloy cvd's, brandnew front ball diff by GH ( bought it this morning) and soon to be rear ball diffs, it has a exotek 1 chassis but i dont like it so im gonna get either a penguin one or a holeshot engineering one. And it has alloy everywhere

So what brushless systems do you guys recommend for indoor drifting?

im thinking about the 4200kv mamba system. but are their any other combos i should consider? like hacker? or ammo? or jwerks <---cant find them for sale anywhere...

much help would be appreciated thanks

It's good to have the soft as a inexpensive tuning item. The vcs kit includes the medium and firm spring.

Thanks!

Mike

Questions?? Stock HPI speedo problem

I just received a used RTR car. It doesn't appear to have reverse. Is there a way to dial out reverse on these.... (actually put it back in). Or is there something wrong with the speedo?

Just got back to the office from a short vacation and found a present from Exoracing! Can't wait to build up my micro. Just need Lipo, new charger, and a brushless setup. Any advise for a deceint charger that won't break the bank. I have heard that a lipo charger doesn't have to be anything special..

Roy - what lipo pack are you going with?? I'm still deciding about pulling the trigger on the new chassis..

as far as a charger, I'd go with the ICE Its about $100 but does EVERYTHING from Lipo to Nimh so its good to have

Thanks for the tip!
I'm looking at the Apogee 1000mah lipos since thats what the chassis was designed for. I remember reading somewhere that the pack is short enough to mount longways front to back right in the center of the chassis. I'll be breaking out the calipers once I build and post results. BTW, I ordered the 150mm chassis. I know there are many more 140mm bodies, but I really need the stability.

I was looking at that pack - but its sold out when you click on the link that MikeR provides Do you know any other places that might sell those cells??

Maxamps has a small lipo back, pretty much same dimensions, just a little thinner that I might go with if I can't find the Apogee ones

I ordered the 140mm chassis...The last time I ran my micro at a challange, I ran 140 and ran 2nd in the "A" (before I crashed and finished 4th) so I'm going by what I know I'll like

Another charger I forgot was the Checkpoint charger - looks a lot like the ICE and has a better discharge rate (30amp) than the ICE, but it costs about $40-$60 more than the ICE...

Where did you buy the front ball diff from?
