lipos can be a funny thing. Loved my RFI lipos and they were on 4000mah 25C rated but were excellent. lots of power and cheap at the time.

Got all IPs for race packs so will see how it goes, got 1 gens ace 50C 5000mah for practice.

Has anyone tried the xxx-sct rear wheel or the DE version? Should be a tad wider than stock. Sounds like it would be a good cheater wheel for a little extra width.

I believe it is closer to 2.84 seconds. Please do not inflate your results.

Hey again guys, im having a bit of troubles still with the trucks setup. Now i run on mostly dusty 1/8th tracks, and currently my setup is:

30 weight in the front-no rebound-bladders

25 weight rear- no rebound- bladders

over drive in the front

stock ride height, but lowered in the back to make equal front to back.

5mm washers under the front ballstuds

And im running m2 calibers all the way around.

Now the truck is quite good, but still fairly loose in the rear. On long sweeping corners it wants to drift out, and sometimes on the tight corners too, if i get too carried away with the throttle.

Anyways i was just wondering if this can be fixed or helped any further? It just seems like the truck has way too much give in the back.

You might try taking some camber out of the front, to help it push a little and keep the rear more planted. It helped me, but I am on a high bite track.

re west coast (my local track) how did the top 4 run 20 laps in the sat. points race? i could not be there...

Double check the race time on the lap sheets, on Sunday and Friday I think they ran 7 minute mains, so it might be the wrong day posted.

ThunderbirdJunkie currently has SCTE wheels on his 4 wheeler, and it looks a hair narrower. That may be because of the overly wide recycled JConcepts body he is using from his SC10 2w, though.

So going through one set of my shocks and found that the bladders are so stiff that I can fold them in half and they stay that way.:lol: I am not sure why I didn't notice it before when I changed the fluid. Looks like emulsion style for me.:nod:

I'll make sure to let you guys know how it goes. I have added the TiNi ballstuds, lunsford turnbuckles, and some blue hardware for a little factory bling :D

Wheels
 
Thanks for the input guys, I will probably order the stock factory wheels when I go to order my tires. My truck was suppose to have arrived today, but didn't. So I will give it another day and then call the supplier. I had a long weekend to build and test and no truck kit. With all the reading and re-reading of this thread and the kit manual I should be able to build it in my sleep.This is worst than waiting for Christmas to come or running an weekend long special event. I will go take some more blood pressure medicine to make sure that I make it to when the truck comes.

Any ideas on how to build the shocks emulsion style, both bladders on the front shock blew out during A main. Im pretty sure I built them right bladder style but ive never had bladder style shocks before. Not really happy with these shocks ive never had shocks leak and blow out like this before. Thanks for any ideas and help.

The truck came with some large square o-rings to use in place of the bladders. They build just like their other 1/10 scale v2 shocks. Remove the bleeder screw to bleed the shock.
