badaml..we will see how tomorrows test and tune goes (both with the buggy and the new track layout). If the track is fine, but my buggy set-up is way off I will be making another 400 mile round trip for some much needed track time in hopes of getting it sorted out! But I will know tomorrow night for sure. Sorry you have to miss the track day.

bigben....the graphite powder lube (dri-slide, I think is the name) has been used for a long time. It is a great lube that does not attrack dirt. We used to use it on bicycles, motorcycles, and anything that needed WD-40 without the greasy left overs. I think even contractors use it to put on squeaky door hinges and people use it on hand guns.

graphite powder goes really well, so long you dismantle the cv's and coat all parts, then put extra in the boot before pulling it over. iheatshrink the bigend, and superglue the small end. it stays put really well, and helps reduce wear alot.

Thanks guys for the replies.. I'm all done putting Graphite Powder on my cvd's. I also put a lil CA glue on the fat part of the boot. It does make a big difference compared to wd-40. This is better! I like it... I also added some powder on the pinion and spur and it's quiter too! All you need is a small lil brush, I used my girlfriends make up brush.. Haha!!

nice going with the makeup brush!

where do you get the graphite powder? i know you need to be careful not to inhale it, kinda like aspestos. i might start using that.

Any hardware store or auto store. You cab also use the lead on a pencil use a knife to scrape the lead, but that's the cheapy way. You want pure graphite powder, its cheap, great, awesome and worth it.

My vorz rolls over on grass, clay track if I don't slow down. How do I make it not flip to often? I have 35wt (F) & 55wt(R), grey & red springs, stock mounting holes.

whats your ride height? do you use the droop screws? mine will roll over too if im going too fast. the only vorza i have seen that doesnt roll over was a guy early on in the thread that put D8T suspension arms, cvds, lowered it and drove it with foams! the thing was a freak but he could turn at full speed and the thing would not flip!!!

Damn, what are drop screws? Where are they at?

bigben1165

droop screws are the holes in the suspension arms that you can thread a screw into that will hit the chassis plate. this limits the amount of down travel on a suspension arm. it serves to always keep the buggy lower down, but the suspension can still do its work. i can show you a pic later on if you want.

im in the middle of doing some more crazy sh*t to my vorza

Sup fellas. Next thing I wanna is gear this thing for speed. Mainly just for our on road sessions that we have. What gear setups are you using or that you know of.

6s, 2200kv CC, mmm, 21/44. 44t spur gear is the kyosho. you cant use the stock motor mount with the gearing, you need either the rc-monster or the elite rc mount to make it fit. i have yet to really open the throttle all the way, but its stupid fast. by stupid, i mean ignorant, idiot and moronic fast!!

fun to drive tho!

Hey everyone,

I've decided to sell my Vorza. I've just got too many 1/8th scale buggies, plus a truggy and other vehicles. Something has to go, and I feel like the Vorza was the best candidate.
