TQ 10Ga for the two power plugs to the battery, then Deans wet noodle for the three motor wires. works great, esc gets max possible power and the motor wire is extra flexy

What advantages are there with an emulsion shock on say a carpet track where it's smoothe surface with the exception of the jumps?

vasidudu

Yep,
Totally agree about emulsion.
Have been running my 8IGHT 2.0 nitro with 0 rebound F/R.
F is silver springs 70W oil and R is green and 40
My SCTe is stock (shock wise) and apart from the springs (ordered F/R sets), pretty much as I like it.
This thing rocks.

On our local carpet track one of the larger jumps has no landing ramp, my trucks front would bounce after landing, With emulsion it no longer bounces so I had control the moment the tires hit the carpet again.

Hey, You guys running the tekin pro4 4600kv, what gearing are you runngin? I just want an idea whether to go 15 or 14 or 13. Thanks

If I have bladder no rebound, and a cut bladder no rebound, what's the difference?

Shouldn't matter whether they are emulsion or bladder, they should be built with as close to zero rebound as possible. Sounds like you either have binding in the arms or shocks. I was never able to get my shocks bind free with the stock orings. I use losi 22 orings or kyosho/mugen pre big bore orings. Adjust the end cap to get the right preload and they are butter smooth. Fyi u also have to use the thin plastic washer that comes with the orings to take up the extra gap.

Small track 13, medium to large 14.

You definately have some binding going on. The first thing I would check is those little set screws that tighten the sway bars. Those should be loose enough to allow the sway bar to slide back and forth. Then check your shock top nuts, those should be loose enough to allow the tops to pivot on the support bushings.

yep, exactly.

Yes you will not have as much pressure in the shock to rebound like with a bladder shock.

I used to use Airtronics but never really liked the feel of the radio (forgot the model but it was their high end one) then I moved to Spectrum for 2.4 about 4yrs ago, had some glitching problems and switched over to the Futaba 3PM and never had any problems. I updated to the 4PK when I got my crawler and have been very happy with that as well. One track I race at everyone runs Spectrum the other track the majority run Futaba. When you look at response times I can't imagine many of us at a non pro level can tell a difference?

I bought a boat this summer that came with a Spectrum system and I have not had any problems with the newest generation but have not been out to many locations and have not run with more then 4 boats at a time yet?

Start with a 13 and go from there, I'm starting to try different things with my pro 4600 and rx8. As turning the current limit up from 80% to 95% and adding some timing from 10-15 adding timing in 1% incerments and coming down a tooth on the pinion. To see what works better then 80% current limit 10 timming and 13-14t pinion.

Ok i dont see any binding. Arms are drilled for clearance and all else is free. Other racers just have looked at my truck when walkin thru pits and always notice my shocks dont rebound like others

Deff go with the Deans wet noodle wires, there super flexy and there a copper wire which is the 2nd best to straight silver wire. I just picked up 4ft of black and red and did my rx8-pro 4 setup its maybe 10 pages back, and its got double what most wires have for strains @ the same gauge wire. best stuff hands down

My track is the same way. Just changed them over to emulsion. I'll let you know how it works for me Sunday.
