Why do people put heat shrink tubing on the solder posts? They are intended to help cool the ESC

I'm pretty sure if you thought about it you would figure it out.. That being said, now thinking about the cooling aspect it does make since. But I'll leave mine on to protect it from possible arching er wires touching it etc...

I'll throw down w/a 550 4.5 in my SCTE any day.
I've been running a 4600pro4 in my 2.0 since I got it w/great results but w/the outdoor season being so damn hot this year I decided to drop in a Reedy 4.5 550 to save my lipo's and keep temps down. We were on a big track w/big air so i added 80 timing on my rx8 and geared up to a 15/41 so I could clear the huge triple. I have been very impressed w/a 4.5t in this truck for outdoor, Super smooth, cool temps, plenty of nut.

They put them on there to keep them from touching. If one post touches another while the car is running.......poof...flash....fire. Happened to me once.

That being said, the Tekin reps say not to do this.

Just built up a 2.0 and trying to figure out these mud flaps. Do they serve any purpose at all on a racetrack? Seems like they make contact w the track after every jump.

Are people racing w these or just taking them off/not installing them?

Take them off and cut the rear bumper so just the center circle is left. I don't use the side guard extenders either

For the guys running Ryans new setup a couple questions:

1) rear hexes spaced out 0.5mm is that for each side and how are you spacing them out?
2) what are the witness marks on the front arms and steering links dremel accordingly?
3) any starting point for the droop measurements?

And for those, yes the kit was built with -0- inserts so no need to tear down the whole front end like i did

Do the MIP chassis braces fit the 2.0 in the stock holes?

Yeah no. Not a brilliant idea, chief. If they ever get that close to arc in the first place, consider your ESC done for dinner..

It is NEVER a good idea to run heat shrink on your solder posts.

1) Take clutch bell shims and put them behind the pin that the clamping hex goes over.
2) Witness marks will be where the wheel is rubbing the arm and steering link just grinf those areas down until you cannot see them. Also, if you haven't put the 2mm under the steering link on the outside, the squares from the diff make a nice 2mm spacer.
3)We do not use droop screw for this setup. You want to take the front shock ends go up until they stop and unsrew them 2 full turns. The rear do the same but only unscrew 1 turn.

You battery is all the way back? We don't normally run it there.

you can servo tape the swtich to the side of the ESC and this makes it easy to get to as well. With one screw holding it in place it will tend to spin.
