Thank you.

will this novak esc and 8.5 trun motor be good to use

nope. Once you put an esc and motor into a Losi, it cannot be mounted into a Team Associated car. It will really throw off the handling. /sarcasm off lol.

It will work fine.

lmao its all i got to use its a 8.5 trun and its fast in the losi lol

Any gearing tips for 17.5 motor with GTB 2 ESC in blinky? Running Avid slipper.

My Reedy 17.5 was good at 34/72 or 35/72 depending on the track.

Novak spec 17.5 @ 40deg timing, geared at 34/72.
Hottest temp reading was 72.8 Celsius.

Guess my question got lost a few pages ago so I'm reposting here:

I don't usually post questions concerning handling issues, but I thought I'd throw this one out to you guys. I bought this car eight years ago as a FT B4. It's pretty much a B4.1 now.

This past weekend I was running a med to high bite track. For the most part, the car handled great. I made a good tire choice and, as long as I stayed in the groove and didn't get too throttle happy, it was pretty planted in the rear.

One thing I noticed is that, as I let off the throttle approcahing a corner, I had to wait a moment before I started my turn. If I made my turn too early, it pushed. In other words, it seemed like I was waiting too long for the rear to fwd weight transfer to occur before I could turn. I'd like to be careful in what changes I make as the car is otherwise handling better than it ever has.

Any ideas or suggestions on this?

What position is your front shocks on your shock tower? Post your setup that might help a little bit.

Thanks for the reply.

Off the top of my head, I'm not sure. I'll have to take a look tomorrow night and repost. Better yet, I'll try to scan and post my setup sheet.

There is an editable PDF setup sheet on the AE site you can use

Can anyone give me any feedback on the MIP Top shafts? Do they make much/any of a difference? Can't seem to find much on this topic

The older ones wear out fast. The newer hard coated ones are good, been running one in my SC for about 3 months. Just recently did some routine maintenance last week, stil like new. Just put one in my b4, I would only recommend it for 17.5 racing. Not sure a Mod car would really see any benifit, aside from the fact that it spins true.

Thanks for the response! You are running 17.5 I'm assuming?

Both SC and buggy yes. I think reducing rotating mass any way you can is a good thing in stock class. I also spent some time going through the tranny, new Avid bearings, and also putting the case back togeather with screws just snug. Just to keep things freed up as much as possible. I also don't use the black grease in the tranny like a lot of people do. I think it does more harm than good IMO, unless you do a lot of maint. I have my own "secret" lube for the gears, lol. The tranny is a little loud but who cares if it's fast.
