I run 7.5 and get a ratio of 8.39 using 76spur and 22pinion.

Default Diggity Designs Parts for the Duce Duce

Diggity Designs has released a new 4mm front shock tower for the popular 22. We also sell the battery strap. Longer strap coming soon for those running saddle packs. Here is a sample pic of the new 4mm tower.

Feel like a shmuck for asking this but where do the threaded kingpins exactly go? I think I remember it being mentioned but can't seem to find it via search.

The second question I have is whether saddle packs will fit with the wider side touching vs the skinnier sides touching with the rear motor mount. Make sense? I thought not.

wow. These are no where near long enough to do that. They might reach if I remove all the bump steering spacers and squeeze the spindle. with 1.5 mm below and .5mm above the castor it won't work.

I have a Savox 1251-MG low profile servo in mine, and did not have to remove any material at all. I did use one thin shim and one thick one on each mount as recommended earlier in this forum thread though.

Maybe it is just a matter of adding another shim to push it forward more for the added clearance.

This is a good call for looser outdoor stuff. I just have a little insight that Eric runs on a high to very high-bite outdoor track.

Eric I am going to start 22/76 with an 8.5, so 21/76 with a 7.5. What manufacturer?

I run 22/78 with my lrp x12 7.5. Great rip, great top speed, comes off around 100-110 after 15 minutes. Extremely high traction tacky clay with slicks.

I normally run the 96mm lipo like this as well as I posted earlier, unless the track is slightly slicker than normal from moisture, otherwise I run it with a pad in front pushing the small lipo back into the rear bulkhead, to move the lipo's weight a little back more for additional rear traction.
As you can see here also I have two positions for my wing, depending on what I want/need.
