You can make carbon fiber as stiff or flexy as you like. Carbon fiber in F1
cars has very stiff carbon fiber on the suspension parts and the mono
cock drivers area while the wings and wing struts are tuned to flex in
different ways to help the aerodynamics. Carbon fiber can be the stiffest
thing known to man if it is made to be that way, it can also be very
flexible if you want it that way also.
I have a friend that makes carbon fiber parts for the aerospace industry
for the last 30 years so you won't be able to tell me much I don't already
know about carbon fiber...

taking a loot at the set up sheets i have run into a new term.
What does "go by shock length" mean when talking about limiter droop?
means no limiter added?

My SCTE will arrive to me tomorrow from overdriverc.com for only $279. I've been running a slash 4x4 so im really looking forward to seeing how much better this truck handles.

2400kv 6pole....holy crap that thing must have massive torque. I like my castle 2400 might have to try that one just for fun.

New to RC buggies/Which one?
Ok guys.. After looking at some different threads.. I've kind of narrowed it down to a few options. I'd like a off road electric and just want to here some of your inputs. Again.. I don't mind putting together my own kit and picking ESC/Motor etc. So here's what I came up with:
- Vorza(lots of aftermarket parts that come from nitro D8? correct?)
-Ve8
- RC8be
- Losi 8EIGHT
- SC10 4x4
- Losi 10 SCTE
So.. I've listed a few options.. There's a few I'm sure I didn't list.. Ofna and Jammin etc.. A few are 1/8 buggies and a couple are 1/10 truck. I'm not opposed to the trucks because they look cool. Are the trucks just as versital with jumping/different terrain? Primarily will be recreational. No racing "yet". I fly electric Heli so I'm familiar with Lipos/ESC's etc. Is it less headache to go with a RTR like the Vorza or to build a kit? I realize RTR's are built in a factory.. So parts might be missing/not built correctly/loctite not applied or applied too much or where it shouldn't be etc. Primarily looking for something with high quality, durability and performance. Thoughts?"

Well, it means you put the car up on something and measure the shocks from the center of the top mount to the center of the bottom screw at full droop and your droop is right if it matches the setup sheet.

I was talking to some one today who said he heard that some guys where running some motor oil with the silicone in the diffs. Said it helps prolong the wear of the pins and metal gears? Said silicone doesn't have good lubrication properties?? Any one else heard of this? Does this make sense??
