Does anybody know if the 17mm wheel hex that comes on the Matrix buggy will fit the Matrix TR. I want to switch to running the proline LPR's. I aso have a question about tire mounting. I read through the instructions for the proline MTR crimefighters and it says to put 2 small dimond shape holes on oppisite sides of the tire. Is this something that needs to be done? It seems to me if i put a small hole in the tire it will just be a place for the tire to start tearing itself apart at high speeds or will they be fine. I already have two 3/16 holes in my wheels on oppisite sides isn't that enough. Thanks for your help guys.
The 17mm hexes do fit, however you will have to shim them a little.
The 2 additional holes in the tires will allow dirt and water to escape as the tire rotates. Just put a sticker or something over the holes in the wheels.

The holes in your tyres are to reduce 'bounce' - helps your handling if the tyres have a little 'give'. I keep a spare set of tyres without holes that i use in wet weather as when water gets in the foam inserts it can distort the shape, adds weight and takes ages to dry.

I raced my tr yesterday for the 1st time opening day. All went well until I had issues with my steering servo. What are you guys using? And the servo saver should be set at 3mm correct? The servo I was using was A KoPropo pds-2144 I stripped the 1 plastic gear in it 3 times so I need to get a all metal gear servo.

Ace DS1015. It's a great servo. Best we have ever run actualy
#1371
Hobbico CS-170
Try this servo for steering. Same as the Hitec but less expensive. I've used mine for quite a while without issue.

I was wanting the ace because of the transit time. But it only has 15 more oz torque than my KO also doesnt the ace have the 1 plastic gear also. I was lookin at the hobbico earlier I would buy it over the Hitec because it is the same exact thing Hitec makes it, Tower has their own rebagged 5955tg the TS170. I hear great things about the Ace and mostly good about the hitec anyody have any thoughts on the JR 9100t? I am trying to get quality and cheap as possible I know the Jr aint cheap but I would like to hear what someones opinion on it.

We run the servo saver at 3mm. Any more and we would split the plastic in a hard crash due to the servo saver not giving. After we went back to 3mm problem solved. I use the CS-170 for steering. Can’t go wrong with that servo.

Dont laugh but you mean adjust the servo saver so you can see 3mm of threads under the collar correct. I hae been running it between 2 and 3 anyway, I figured that by just testing it manually. With all the torque from the cs170 which Ill be buying tomorrow should I run a plastic or aluminum servo horn? Currently I am running aluminum, wondering about a breaking point.
#1378
Yes that is correct. We are using the Hitec aluminum servo arm. For the clutch bell Machine’s RC Hobbies “Gene” sold me a Reckward Tuning Clutch Bell. Five months of hard racing and the teeth still look new. Still on the TR. I can’t believe how long this clutch bell has lasted.

The best price I have found the Hitec 5955tg servo was at Donalds Hobbies. I buy all my my Hitec servos from them plus Hitec servos come with a great warranty.

That is a good price for the Hitec. I had just ordered the Hobbico CS-170 from tower, It is the same price as the Hitec there. Mcran I run the ofna alum servo horn with the plastic inserts are those okay or do I need the all alum 1 I never had a problem with them before. Hobbico services that servo for Hitec and has a similar warranty. I am now onto a Q for my mill I never noticed it before because I only broke it in recently. When I was in the air on jumps at the track it was reved High before I approached obviosly and mid air I would not be on throttle and my engine was not returning to idle properly, it kinda whined. I thought I had it tuned good, temps never over 140 and I had it modified what should I try. This is only my 3rd nitro engine.
