What are the part numbers for them? Just sold my buddy my Losi and he is interested in keeping the diff fluid inside the diffs for some reason...

Default Heavy Truck - General Suspension Advice

Hi,

My mate is running the RTR on 3S and it is heavy - with a battery pack that takes the full battery tray with no spacers. It is bog stock standard factory settings at the moment and just used for "performance driving around a track" (ie not bashing, not racing).

It tends to bottom out on the jumps, and it pitches the weight a lot (the MMP ESC has power that comes on a bit sudden, as you know).

There's no other particular problem we're working on (eg on/off power steering) or aiming for.

We'll be working on the throttle curve via Castle software, but any suggestions where to start with the suspension? Should we start with heavier springs? Or start with higher weight shock oil? Or increase the ride height?

Thanks!

This page is your friend when it comes to looking up a setup for the truck.

I personally would go up in wt on all the shocks, raise the ride height to front driveshafts a tad higher than level and rear about even and leave the springs alone. If bashing go with a heavy oil like 40 front and 35 rear. If racing I would try 37.5 front and 32.5 rear. Some go as light at 27.5wt all the way around but I'm sure their trucks are a lot lighter than yours.

Thanks - for my own truck I am cool with setups (using Dunford myself) as it is all lightened and uses standard 2S racing packs, racing springs etc.

We'll try doing the ride height first, then the oils.

Thanks!

Change the pistons to 2 hole 1.3mm either by bying or making them by glueing/melting stockers. Also add droop by screwing the ends out some.

If anyone is installing the RX8 and went to install the adapter for the motor mount and need to get the tabs for Pro-4 to sit level no need to use the larger set of holes on the motor. The SCTE screw are 3mmx10



Solution

All you have to do it take the front end bell screws out, and rotate it. then when you have the desired hole size where you want it, screw it back together. my pro 4 has the leads right at the top.

Hope that helps anyone installing one for the first time.

Or you can just take off the motor plate, spin it so that the holes you need are where you need them, and then screw it back on. That's what most do.

LMAO, almost got back in time...I found that on the RC Short Course forum...lol

I didn't see a glitch buster with the RX8 ESC, after 2 MMPs dying on me in 6 months, do I need to get one or is the internal BEC adequate?

you should be ok without one. RX8's BEC is pretty stout.
