K king, did you do any grinding on the chassis? I see the plastic side pieces cut.

Put the Zack Rogers set up on your car. The whole thing. A lot of your rear settings are different than most of us running on that style of track. You're also going to want to move that esc and put your battery back against the motor. I ran that style set up at OCRC(tebo set up) and it worked great there, my home track has pretty good traction and that set up was horrible at my track. You need the weight back there. What tires do you run? Damp to wet clay should be yielding some pretty good traction with the right tires.

I'd like to see a picture of tebo set up with battery sideways or zacks

Tires wise I'm running Proline Suburbs slicked down. Tried Panther slicks, and it didn't seem to be working out for me.

At one point it had the Zach Rogers setup, minus the ESC in front of the battery. (and the Kyosho springs, ran the associated instead). It's originally what I was running, and wasn't working out for me. (at this track, at our other one it's on rails!)

I am by no means a set up guru but i am lucky enough to race with zack every week and believe me, that esc position is a big change. Its interesting you are having trouble with tires though, maybe more of a ghost pin/ almost slick? Is the track slimy?

how does it affect flex?
12-21-2014, 08:45 AM
It actually doesnt flex that much more. I may get more taken off so I can move it back and forth but I prefer it like this for now. I have never had any issues with steering so having it a little bit further back isnt a big deal for me.
Plus I can always get another chassis :P

are you doing anything anything to support the chassis after that? We had a couple chassis snap just from not running the waterfall brace. I looked at Zacks and you guys are milling out the the bend in the chassis, thats a lot of support you guys are removing.

No and I dont even know where to even try to support it with the battery filling all of the gap.
It actually doesnt flex too bad. I tested it against my buddy's car that has the standard chassis and it has a tick more flex but nothing that would lead me to be worried.

Was wondering if u guys could suggest a 17.5 motor, and a few upgrades for 17.5 class?
12-21-2014, 02:03 PM
I have been running the rear motor in 17.5 with good results. I'm using a hobbywing just stock speedo and a hobbywing v10 17.5 motor. ProbAbly the best upgrades I have done to the car are the mip pucks system and the exotek slipper eliminator.
