Oh ok. Thanks

Thanks heaps for all of your comments. I'm probably going to start with the 10.5 and work my way up or down from there. Cheers guys.

I personally prefer a 9.5 mod wound motor. It's plenty on top for me and I feel it's easier to drive off the bottom than a 10.5 stock wound motor. I would highly suggest looking at it if you are wanting something easy to drive.

anyone know if kyosho bb springs fit on traxxas spring cups??????

YESSIR! blue barcodes in the front, green in the rear

It was one of those "i bet you won't do it" deals.... so of course I had to


On another note, I ran the BB springs again this weekend. Hot lap increased by half a second, ran 1 lap faster than I had previously.

Are they better?

No. They are different. If I was to compare, I would say the AE std springs are more precise and will make your car feel more darty, while the BB springs are a bit more forgiving and make the ride a little smoother. So my final opinion is........


they look cool. So I'll keep em on

Plus one. I tried the 8.5,10.5 and wound up with the 9.5. I just like the way it feels over the others. Plenty of pull off the bottum and enough top end to get it done.

Need some help here real quick.

I'm going to run 17.5 class at Motorama just as a second class but I have never run a 17.5 and have no clue what to gear them at. If possible, I wanna keep a 81 spur on but I don't know if you can hit the right ratio.

Can any of you guys who run 17.5 (or have run it) help me out here because I need to buy a couple pinions. I will be using a LRP SXX v2 and probably a loaner Tekin motor.

Thanks!

hey guys, so my parts came for the bb spring conversion, i order these traxxas ones because that is what someone had told me to on this thread. http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...rs-Upper-Lower

the retainers seem WAY to big...they are not adjustable or anything because they are so big...did i get the wrong ones or....? I intentionally didnt order the GHEA just because they were $20

Take pinions 28-32 to get good final drive ratio choices. I think 31 would be the go for FDR.
Feel 7 / Boost 7 if you want the edge.

Ratio = (Spur / Pinion) * 2.6(Factory FDR)

Cheers

Can you run timing in that class?

The Traxxas part is just a retainer. Keep the Associated adjuster on and just slide the Traxxas retainer over the body for the spring to ride on. Use the 22 lower shock cups and you're golden.

no, was just gonna put the ESC in blinky and roll with it

I would start with 35/78.

I tried the simple green turnbuckle thing and it did not work, I even added an 8th battery I tried my worn down silver a.e turnbuckles on my b4.1 and my shiny brand new blue ones off my 4wd. I use speaker wire which i guess may be the problem. It got like blue green and corroded after 2 tries. PLease help i just spent 20 bux in batteries and undid my turnbuckle ends
