hey 11 ....

heres the scoop .. when the blades are set horizontal thats 0* according to Assc set up pages .. and the " SOFTEST " setting for the bar .. kinda like using the thinest bar on the electric ... when vertical thats 90* per Assc .. and the " STIFFEST " setting for the bar kinda like using the buds .093 bar on the electric version ... I personally havent had any luck with sway bars .. so I just tune to the best without em .. I know it has to be something I am doing wrong in set up .. but when I use em .. the car just wants to do dough nuts .. so I personally stay away from em .. just My .009(thanks to inflation)

have fun racing

According to the manual for the FTNTC3 that comes with the blade as standard it says:

If you're driving on a high traction condition and your car wants to oversteer, then use the blade anti-roll bar kit. This will decrease the front chassis roll and decrease steering throughout the corner.

End quote.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Mike.

Thanks for the reply chuckmando, How do you like it compared to the stock two chamber pipe?

CHUCKMANDO

No P, its good. I feel it has a little more top end than the ae pipe. Ae has bottom end. To tell you the truth, I like the origional pipe more than the dual chamber for my rbx12. I need the rd logics pipe for the large layouts we sometimes do.

Just got the NTC3 BMI Gen 2 chassis in the mail. The craftmanship is unbelievable. It's so fr***n light and sturdy! I'll let you guys know how it works out. I think this is the best hop up out there.

Guys,

I found that my FT NTC3 with a Max 12 S5 could use a bigger 2nd gear pinion than the stock 27T cause the engine seems to rev too high on the mid of the straight at my track. However, I found that 27T is the biggest 2nd gear pinion AE offers. Anyone tried using other clutches with bigger than 27T 2nd gear pinion?

The guy in a local shop told me that he has some customer who use the MTX3 centax clutch onto the NTC3 so that they could use up to 29T 2nd gear pinion. Anyone tried that? I wonder if the gear mesh of the NTC3 is 0.8 pitch....

Number 11

Thanks guys for the response concerning the sway bar. I currently have it in the horizontal position and it has been good my steering seems to be more responsive in that position. I was hoping to test it out in the vertical position but we had another rain out today so maybe next week.

I believe that theres a 28 tooth pinion. I dont have the car anymore, but I think the stock one is black, and the 28 tooth gear is purple.

Nitrodude: The purple one is 27T

Hey guys,

I debuted my FT NTC3 today at our local track (Western Australia) and the car was just awesome.

It was a little wet early on and this helped show up that I didn't have enough steering for the track. A lot of turn in understeer. I adjusted the front sway bar down to the flat position and stood the front shocks up one more hole (the outermost hole) and the car was sensational.

I ran with the front one way and only a little bit of brake for if I needed it. I didn't need it!

The car turned in beautifully and held huge amounts of mid corner speed which is where my old car was lacking.

With the same motor I used in my old car, I was 2 laps faster than I was with the old car. And the lap time deviation across 17 laps was only 0.34 seconds on my best run! To be able to run within one second per lap for 17 laps in 5 mins was sensational for me.

However, in the class I run in, 1hp pull start motors, This was a qualifying record. No one has ever run 17 laps before! This has now brought my motor under scrutiny, and they are going to make sure it only has 1 hp. He he. I'm sure that this is because the guys running in the pro class (any hp from a .12 bump start non turbo), only had one qualifier faster than my qualifier! I'm thinking I'll run my 1hp motor in the pro class with these guys and just show them up!

The only real bad news is that the meeting ended up being washed out so it looks like my time will become null and void and I'll have to wait until next meeting to set the record again.

Still, I'm stoked with the way the car ran and can't wait for the next meeting.

Now where can I get a starter box and a 1.4hp picco XP .12 from.....

Guys,

I ran my new Team NTC3 today for the first time yesterday, the car was great, needed a little steering which I got by making the front a little softer.

But, in the main every time I fueled the car it would stop half way into the next lap, it would start real easy and run fine until I pitted again. Bad deal since I was in the lead until the first stop.

The engine is from my sons Kyosho and never had the problem. I have a big fuel filter, which is empty, on the pressure side rather than a bunch of fuel line. The pressure side is very short as well. The temp is about 230.

Any ideas? Do you think it is engine mixture?

I am thinking it might help to have a longer pressure side and a filter to hopefully keep fuel to the engine until the pressure builds up again. I assume it stops because the pressure is lost when the cap is opened to add fuel.

Thank,
Ted

You have this option, a knda expensive option............get the CENTAX from Hongnor (in USA, they partnered with (or named it) OFNA) the LD3 centax...................if you look back to like 10 -15 pages eariler, I asked the same question cause one of the Europe sponcered AE driver (Niklis) used to post a lot here was using the 22/29T combo................and it is exactly the same reason like yours.......he has a high powered Nova MAX or something that can pull a little more TOP END on the 2nd gear.

However, you must use the CENTAX, and he said the reaction time of the centax compare to the mod 3 shoes clutch is a littel slower and not that punchy, on return , you gain some high speed power..........BUT, he also mentioned, you must garantee your track has the ROAD for you to pull that 43,000 rpm.......otherwise, anything over 27T is a waste on your engine and on your NTC3.

You can try to order the Hongnor stuff in KWS or OFNA stuff from Ofna website, they are not cheap, but I don't see others that made 0.8 module gearing system 2ith 28 and 29T 2nd gear beside them.

Go to page 205, we had that discussion a while back, with the Mugen MTX 3 with 0.8 and the Yokomo cetnax for NTC3.

The mistake I made last week was on the V2 suspension, figured it out 5 minutes before the main, so no big deal.........some honestly mistake...

Anyhow, you are welcome, and since I win my bet, where is my price...?

P.S........I am still ROOKIE, and I will always be ROOKIE untill I die.

Just long at the blade from the side of the car and for blade type, 90 degrees is all they can do (within)...

So when ppl say 0 degree, = FLAT ( ---- )
When ppl say 45 degree....turn it toward the sky 45 degree( \ )
When ppl say 95 degree....turn it toward the sky 95 degree( | )

No one will use the degree below 0 or beyond 90....
