Yes, the same as the DTM2 conversion. S3 arms and 69mm bones.

buddy of mine put the CAL3 rear end on his car. used 66.5mm bones for better engagement with the diff and likes it. ALso he is using B74 front a-arms for durability.

What makes it hard is it seems even the YZ4 SF appears to not to be available anywhere (& for a while now) for those who are just wanting to grab a fresh SF kit or upgrade from old chassis ..

Page 23 of the manual shows a table. If you want to calculate it yourself, the internal ratio is 2.5.

Right now that one more run of the vehicles they talked about I wonder if that had gotten done at all. Good thing at least doens't appear the car really slops out at all.

Ran mine over the weekend, biggest issue I kept running into was a section of the track that more tires would catch that would cause me to roll over. Basically, the surface underneath the carpet had a bump, as I would turn right on that section believe front tire would catch it just enough to cause it to spill over. Went to a 2wd front version of the tires I was using and that helped, but then lost steering and didn't really have time to work on getting what I wanted back.

Personally, I may start the march up in diff oil weight here, On my YZ4SFT mini truck conversion, I have really liked significantly heavier diff oils front and rear, like 20K front and rear, with another driver using 30K front and then 20K rear on his. So I may give 20K a try on mine as it definitely helped with some of the roll issues and I liked 15K all around before.

Also, I did the front and rear a-arm conversions and those worked excellent.

Soooooo, it's been a while...so my GensAce 5000mAh shorty started puffing so I decided to grab one of those P ULCG LiPos and holy snaps, they're REALLY thin...

Do any of you guys use ULCG LiPos and if so, what do you guys do to keep the battery stable? I'm currently using some squishy foam-padding to keep using the stock battery holder...I've been looking around but I cannot find anything like a shorter battery holder or strap. I don't mind using a strap. Ok, yeah I do, but if it's the only way, I'll do it...but it's not preferred. But I'm thinking it would be better than some foam-padding...hahah!

Remove the battery post spacers shown here. There is one on both the front and rear posts

Default Schumacher wheels

When Racing on carpet i prefer Schumacher tires and since I am not the best at tire glueing I would like to ask what width is achieved on the SF when using Schumacher wheels (I want to use pre glued)...
Didn’t find much on petitrc but if it is too narrow or too wide maybe people could tell me what hexes to use to achieve perfect or almost perfect width...
Sorry if this has been asked before!
