Hey ShtLuck,

How long does it take to charge that body?

How long will it stay lit up? :lol:

Man, I need to get some darker glasses.

Killer job.

thanks guys...:D
looking back on it i think i should have mixed in some fasglo.... made it glow in the dark.

Nice paint job, just whats needed for indoor racing.

what servo is everyone using?

Futaba BLS451, probably overkill but it was an extra for my 1/8 buggy.

yeah i have a 5998tg on my truck just because i have it...

I haven't built my truck yet but I checked the diff cross pins, all is good. What a cool truck this is going to be. :nod:

IMPORTANT SETUP TIPS
 

Racers- there are 2 big things you can do to help the truck.

1) Long rear camber link- this will make the truck much more planted middle to exit. It takes away the squirrely feeling when you get on the gas out of a turn

2) Run a heavier front spring- blue or gold. The kit silver spring will make th e front end fall over and push... it's a little too soft to support the front end and steer all the way thru the turn.

Works for me.

Any feelings on 30 degree caster blocks?

Want more steering in and less out, even after stiffer front springs and longer camber links.

I agree still not enough in and to much out. What about the longer wheel base. Also wanna see feedback on castor blocks.

Man all this talk about driving i need to get my kit done, Although now i dont know what ESC/Motor to go with since Novak is having problems with the Havoc system.

Do you guys run your packs against the battery holder stops towards the rear?I ran it on the street today and it was really hard to drive even on pavement. The rear was all over the place and if I cut the wheel off power it pushed like crazy. Kinds does the same thing offroad. I still swear it's the tires though. My sc8e has the same tires and felt unstable also. Also had no steering off power and tail whip. Problem is the stock tires look awesome and rite now there isn't to many choices

By the way cuda I ordered the rear sway bar just to try out.

yes , i just had a set of memory foams and they are 2x the sixe of the stock sc foams so i cliced them down the middle , just by using a softer foam in the tire even if using a slash tire makes a huge difference in handling.
nice paintjob , my daughter wants me to paint one in pink :smile: its all about keeping the kids happy

Can someone tell me the exact width of the section of the chassis where the ESC goes?

Am about to order Kit plus everything in one go and would like to be sure everything fits.

Cheers

a few pages back i posted i had some tranny binding issues when i would roll the truck on my table well after tearing down the tranny and re checking everything and everything ok i called my buddy who runs nothing butt ae electric he told me to make sure i dont over tighten the tranny bolts otherwise it will cause some tranny binding and to just put a small dab of locktight on the screws that go into the motor plate i did that and now its free as a bird. so just a tip for 1st time t4 tranny builders. they just need to be snug. he told me to run my truck and re check them. just thought i'd share this.
