Will the tires rub on the fenders during suspension travel?

I know this may seem elementary, but are you using the 19t pulley in the rear?? Maybe you installed it bf you tried the ball diff and forgot it was being used?? I have seen one person think he had the 20t on and when he checked it was the 19t, simple oversight that had him searching for answers elsewhere and that was it all along..Just saying it's worth a check..

no 20 t for sure installed in the rear. The motor is running in the 150 range so i could see the heat transfer happening. I did some research and the lowest grade plastic melts at 250 f. the mid grade plastics melt at 380f and the delrin ones melt at 600f. just want to see what i can get away with by backing off diff nut to get the 'diff' affect correct without melting down or ruining it.

Stormer Hobbies had the Exotek Chassis at $99.99 but nil stock at the moment and it is worth every cent, traction rolling is a now a thing of the past, jumping is much more predictable, it is worth at least a second a lap

I keep reading about mod's people are doing to put a stick pack centered on the chassis under the belt. Anyone got a picture?

I have $500 invested in stick packs and don't want to go to saddle packs just to center my battery weight

Got mine here 99.95 shipped. http://www.trick-parts.com/product_p/1162.htm

so how does this help you? i havent noticed an issue in my truck? thanks

how fast did they ship?

for this chassis, are you guys running the center saddle setup or that forward saddle setup they make parts for?

Ordered on the 16th got it yesterday and it sure looks good.

Try post 14648 and go from there

That was me lol. Yes I added 2 steel plates stacked together (one on top of the other) to the bottom of the chassis. I drilled holes and counter bored them then ran the screws through and put 3mm lock nuts on top of the chassis. I wouldn't think using some kind of adhesive would be a good idea. What if it were to fly off in a horrific crash? I could see a huge Chinese star flying at some poor marshalls head lol.

I did this because I read somewhere that the Losi was a full 10oz heavier then the AE. My thought was, even with the 100 dollar (ouch) chassis in the middle I would still need to add some weight to at least be even with the with the Losi. The steel plates weigh just about 6oz a peice.

My truck in race trim on a digital scale without body weighed 6.0lbs even. After I pun on the plates it weighed 6.8lbs. Thats 6lbs 12.8oz. The Losi in race trim was 6.75. Thats 6lbs 12oz. with a difference of .8oz. Thats nothing really, and those numbers also will vary some depending on the equipment you run obviously.

It definitely makes the truck feel more planted, and when there is contact with another truck (insert Losi here) its no longer like a Kia bouncing into a Ford Excursion lol. Motor temps never changed, all I had to do was add some tension to my springs for my ride heigth.

I picked up both Novak 3-packs so I've got 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17. I ran the 13 twice, 14 for about a month, then bumped to the 15/62 on a large blue-groove 8th scale track. Temps never went over 160 on the motor and the fan on my RX8 had turned off by the time I came down off the driver's stand, even after a full 15 minutes of race-pace practice. This was before I got my garodisks so if you've got garos or a clutch basket, I don't know if this will be a great comparison.

Oh, and all season long, I never had a problem with the Novak pinions. It's the one thing that I have bought from Novak with zero regrets.

Money no problem? Get a Tekin RX8/Pro4 4000. Sensored 4-pole 540. DREAM

Gotta save some cash? MMP with an SC4x 5.5T. My buddy's been running that for a while and it's been good. I prefer my RX8....been dreaming about getting an iX8 but I'm reading there are problems with the LVD running on just 2S (It's really geared towards 8th scale, so 3-5S....maybe the next firmware will fix it....)

for the exotek chassis inline saddlepack conversion, anyone got pics of what exactly you need to do this?

Well how many runs are on your truck? If its the first few battery packs then no you wont have this terrible promblem untill you run the truck more.
