I've been attending some indoor races so far with my rango and now the next 4 races with the TLR will also be on carpet... I'm looking forward to build and setup this badboy

While I had been running a 5.5turn VST2 550 2 pole Team Orion on our medium-small outdoor track, I did us a 4600kv 540 4 pole VST2 Orion for indoor carpet racing so far... seemed to have enough speed and power.
But when I look at the (US) Nats or EOS and other large races, the pro drivers seem to race 2 pole 550 cans more often? Is there a reason for that?

Thanks,
Dave

When using shocks to limit droop, is there anything special I need to do to the shocks? (other than adding an extra couple turns to the eyelet?)

Thx

Both setups I have posted on my site have 0 inserts all around in teh front.

Rear end we have been running 3 deg antisquat (1's up in the front) and 3 deg or toe in (0's) for the rear pivots.



Nope. Just make sure the set screws in the arms don't touch anything.

For example, for a large outdoor track with medium grip? Currently using a 4600kv but wanted something a little faster. Thanks

Just giving you the pro's and cons.

So I recommend a Tekin SC4X 4.5T motor.

There is a little bit of a weight penalty to going 550 as well. Just putting it all out there.

Finally got my SCTEN 2.0 and have finished building the front section. For the diff screws M2.6 x 10 can anybody recommend a good replacement set? I nearly stripped one of the screws even so I was really careful... Thanks!
