In that case Jason, you should consider the Trackstar motors. At only $45 delivered, if you only buy one, they are excellent value and have the best brakes of any motor I have used. They are also meet ROAR specs but I believe their approval is not yet finalised as there is an issue relating to the number of retailers that sell them.

Yes Terry,
I knew this would be the result of me not competing last night but I chose to help Lachlan as he was at point where some focus from me was very important.

So more importantly Lachaln Hanwright got first in the jounior SSF and while drive home last night it was clear to me I had made the right choice.

Also Thanks for spending some time with him coaching him after the meeting was over, I know he will improve even more with help like this. The club will continue to grow when we help each other and foster the new and younger drivers.

It was new perspective for me to be watching the GT final from pit lane with some key learnings for me. Great to see the newer guys giving it a red hot go in Gas Tourer Cooper was in the groove last night, can't wait to see him in Pro Tourer and Nathan was giving us a glimpse of what to come from this youngster.

Let's see what happens by the end of the season when we start to drop our worst rounds the points system will get a real jumble up in the last two meetings of the series. I have not given up..... I will be back

Guys,

I had a great time last night racing SSF. Well organised, great facility and what an awesome track! Took me a while to find my feat, but started to get it figured out towards the end of the night.......Just need to find some more speed now!

I will be back in a fortnight.

BTW: anyone found a solution to the bottom shock eyelits rubbing hardcore in a XRAY T4?

Glad you enjoyed yourself Luke. On my T4 I have the +1.5mm hexes on the rear and a 0.75mm spacer on the front hexes.

Steve, it was my pleasure to be able to help Lachy out. Even in the 5 mins I spent with him his driving was a lot smoother and the car was a lot more settled. I can't till he gets out there next meet after practicing the things I told him to between race meets. I will put myself in the B heat next meeting so I can watch him a bit more closely through out the night.

Luke, there's always a little meat left in the FOAM rims, so with a truer you can ream out a little of it to fit. Also check the inner diameters of the wheel you used and measure up against others. You could always run fronts all round and while might be a slight disadvantage, it's cheaper in the long run!

I use two washers each side to space the rear wheels on the AE6.1. and one washer on the front.
The 30mm foam wheels are designed for the 1/10 IC cars, not 1/10 electric TC's.

I think you'll find most guys are using some sort of spacers, or wider hex's.

There's even a difference between wheel brands, eg: Contacts vs Xceeds.

I am using +1.5mm hexes on the rear so the wheel clears the hub. But the inside of the wheel cuts a groove in the bottom of the shock eyelid when the suspension compresses. I have a feeling that now the groove is cut, it will be fine. Just curious if you guys have same problem. I was using contact tyres too, so maybe I will try another brand next time.

You could also use the 2 hole arms and put the shock in the inner hole. That should give you a little bit more clearance. Mine have the groove worn in them and as yet I haven't had any issues. I did get a pack of spare shock ends though, just in case they do fail.

El Nitro

iTrader: (2)

Ive had a similar problem. But after it wears a bit, it may not wear all the way through.

The bottom shock ends must be mounted on the inner hole (yeah, that must be why I cant set my car up correctly for my driving style).

'Also wind your shock tensioners all the way down.

That may not remedy the problem, but at least it may make your car handle in such a way I can stay with you!

Glad I could help!
