im using gp 3700 and 33000 battery pack is it okey using 10 bulbs

ok got it

No. Car light bulbs as in bulbs used in real cars - single filament, like indicator bulbs, not dual filament brake light bulbs. Go to an auto parts shop.

10 bulbs is considered "standard"

Yes "12 gauge" is the thickness of the conductor in the wire.

Default Front Spool for TT-01?

Guys,

Had anyone tried running a TT-01 with a front spool from locked ball or gear diff?

Can share with us about its performance at corners using TC tires only?

Appreciated. Thanks!

i tried running a spool upfront, all i did was place hot glue on my center diff and viola i got myself a spool. anyway it really performs great on corners as compared to the stock differential,,, only problem though was with stock steering assembly its kind of hard to get a straight line out of the kit,,, overall it gave me better runtimes,,, try it yourself if it doesnt fit your driving style,,, you can always use the spool on your rear for drift setups. cheers!!!

is there a way besides getting the new lower A arms (which i plan on getting) to be able to set your shocks in different shock tower holes positions.I have read this whole forum and i could not find any thing. this might help others to. thanks

I would also like to know about arms, and shock towers with different mounting posistions for shocks. Even the C/F shock towers only look like they have one mounting hole for the shocks.

I custom made some mounting holes with a piece of plastic. Check out my pictures in the Rally topic.

Other than that, I don't know if you can really mount the shocks anywhere else without drilling into the tower yourself...

The TT01D arms have 2 mounting holes for the suspension.

I was thinking with the slop in the arms caused by the arm holder holes being to big, fitting heat shrink around the arm where they mount into, but the heat shrink was just a little thick. Does anybody else have any other suggestions??
