my truggy turns on a dime but with the 10k in center it still gets a little loose on me coming out of corners hard but i have been turning some great lap times and i did try 7k in center and my front tires was trying to come off the wheels

tc5 man

yea i get what your saying about the 10k in the center i did run faster lap times with it inless im crazy lol.

now if i remember "10k in the center is good when the track is dry and rough so its easier to drive ?

i have to really look to see if my front tires act like there coming off with 7k in the center its hard to tell when your racing.

i think with high torque brushless motors like these dont you want a heavy diff weight really ?

so the 5k in the front makes it turn on a dime you said ?

with 5k it turn on a dime when i switched for 7k to 5k int he front and i did 5k to 3k int he rear my lap times went from 36 sec lap times to 34 sec lap time cause it turns unreal now and no push at all well maybe just a little

tc5 man

ok well i do 3k in the rear and see just one thing at a time.

but whats your driving style ?

i know thats a factor .

my is rolling out of the throttle going into turns ,and than as soon as i see im straighten out i hit the throttle but not to much .

Sounds like we are close to one another in driving. I drive about the same. What set up or esc motor combo do u run. That makes a diff also

tc5 man

This just happened to me on my RC8BE. I am running 7/5/3 geared at 15/46 on 5000 Mah 4S 40c lipo running the MMM/2200kv set up.

My favorite set of Losi Digits tore off from the wheels on the front it was pulling so hard. Ruined them completely. These tires hook up like now in the loose dry hard track we have in the NW Seattle area on dry days.

tc5 man

Man I feel sorry for the Truggy, that is one UGLY mug in that second shot



Jk....nice rig

tc5 man

lol yea its hard to take pics from the computer camera man .

thanks though.

i figured out one thing, with the "e-truggie" is it needs a decent amount of preload on the front shocks compared to when i was running the rc8t as nitro to prevent nose diving off of jumps automanticly trust me i know .

I never have a problem with the nose diving what wt oil do u run

tc5 man

"35w" maybe thats why im still running pretty much the same setup when i ran it as nitro .

soon as i added preload to the front where the arms are above level it stoped and jumped evently.

its the rc8tce stock setup .

Try a little lighter oil made a big diff for me

tc5 man

hum a little lighter oil in the front, whouldnt that make it worse than having thicker shock oil in the front ?
