Robitronics Scalpel 1/18th Pan Car? - Page 38

bmcallister · 12-18-2007, 05:22 PM

Anyone have any set-ups or tuning tips?

run a fiberglass T plate to get more rear grip. the robitronics website (the US one) has a tuning tips list that's very helpful. A 3mmx18mm screw to replace the T pod screw (holds the red Aluminum bolt) will keep you from breaking the T pod bolt. I'm using a sub micro servo with an rc 18 servo saver with the brass spring clip mod. Make sure the steering tracks staight and the tweek is ajusted out of the car. It'll drive much easier and handle better.

try hard tires up front with ca glue on edges, red springs up front, red shock spring, the alum a-arm,alum steering knuckle this will tighten up the front, use a fiberglass t-plate, soft rear tires. I use a 150mm conversion kit, this cures the push the front has.

also here is a set up sheet

Is anyone doing anything to the center shock with fluids or grease?

Has anyone tried Robitroncs new red aluminum knuckles yet? I was wondering if they took care of all the play that you had with the plastic ones?

did you see the quick fix for the nuckle play? it's on the robitronic website under scalpel tips or something.

bmcallister · 12-25-2007, 03:05 PM

Are the aluminum knuckles and a-arms a fix for the slop in the front end? I have read the tip on the plastic knuckles and red thread lock just curious to see it the aluminum parts elimate all the play in the front end.

thanks
