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

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

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.

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.......

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

Ouch! I can say at least it was a simple fix,,, head dropped seeing it stop moving while I was on the stand. Definite relief to only have to tighten a pinion!

If the pack has not swollen and still works , most likely can still use.

advise no super glue to repair case, bad for electronics due to vapor from glue.

Use duct tape or something else like shoo glue ...
