Need some setup help. Just finished my ft with center diff, 8mm mod, exotec chassis, 5k front, 3k rear diff oils, two stage pistons with 30f/25r. All else is kit setup. Truck feels OK, not much steering. Any suggestions? As far as ride height where should I measure it? Thanks.

How long did all that take to do those upgrades??
Just wondering, because i am doing the same...

I have been using the White front springs in the rear , but after putting on the Exotek chassis,
I am going to go with the (Green front springs on rear)...
I believe that is what a lot of people are doing?, correct?
or are people going with the blue/yellow front in the rear with the Exotek? I forgot...

It should be to the level of the cross pins, just covering them. After it "sunk in" of course, which can take a while with thick oils.

Just finished a full rebuild from RTR to parts and screws to roller (will be getting new ESC).
Death toll:
Belt cover bent and cracked
Front bumper cracked
Font Arms warped beyond usable
Wheels bearing are on their last leg

Not bad for 6 months with none of the above parts replaced except for arms. I can't race for a couple more weeks so I figured now would be a great time for a rebuild.

@jpure009: Why are u using the front-springs in the rear? To get less rideheight? Or did i missunderstand that?

To stiffen up the rear suspension and get better jumping ability.

will a tekin sc4x 5.5 turn motor with a 550 size can fit in the motor area without having to modify the chassis? cause i wont want to cut any plastic off.

Damit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was having a great time at the track today, the brushless hobbies 120a esc was working great and I still need to mess with the settings because I wasn't getting as much power with it that I was getting with my rx8......... Unfortunately the track was very very dry and superhard today and alot of us were breaking parts left and right........ On the middle triple most people take it as a double then single, however I was taking it as a triple with ease, that was until I really over shot it and landed straight down and bottomed out big time (forgot to add my limiters when I redid my shocks) and low and behold I busted my servo somehow. I could turn it by hand but not with my transmitter. So now I have to take it apart and find out whether or not I stripped the gears...........

Using the white ft is just a stiffer spring compared to the standard yellow rear spring...


stiffer spring lands & jumps a little better , rolls less in the sweeper ,
less overall traction compared to using a softer spring

damn Islan that:o

I had a pinion come loose warming up for the main last night.., Fixed it and started 3 laps down.. Nothing like a 82 second 1st lap:lol:

That stinks! What kind of servo? Someone blew a futaba in the SC10 4x4 yesterday at my track.
If it's dead will it be replaced with a radiopost? ;)
Glad the BH is working! I'll order one this week after my back up MMP sells.

Yes.

That sucks, how did you do in the end??????

It was a spektrum 6030, I will be replacing it with a savox 1267 for now until I have the money to buy a radiopost..... Those damn servo's are expensive lol..........

Yeah the BH esc is working great, no brownouts etc but I need to either gear up a little or mess with the settings. I'm so used to my rx8 to where I only had to add or take away timing etc for more/less power.......... I'll hopefully find out tomorrow what the status is on the esc. I am going to keep the rx8 no matter what I love the esc, the BH one will just be a backup or put in another vehicle.......

Oh I finished dead last!! lmao!!!! It was cool though, stuff happens and at least I got to run my main:)

Join the club of insanely long laps!
I had a 79 this weekend and over the winter I had a 239s lap.
