vts vs c-diff
 

Hey guys i am wondering does the exotec/vts setup provide more acceleration than the v2 c-diff. It just seems that i am not getting all i can out of my c-diff. Maybe i just need to replace the spring not sure what to do. Thanks

I put 5mm on each shock would it hurt to put another 1mm on each shock to use up the rest of my limiters?

Depending on your traction level at your track the VST slipper might give you more rear drive off the corners. With that said yesterday I was testing a new motor in front of my house before heading to the track and I was pulling the front wheels off the ground a few inches with 6 pins in the center diff. So that is pretty much maximum drive to the rear without flipping over backwards.

The pins do wear over time so you might try turning the pins a little to make contact in a new spot on the ball.

So how many limiters is everyone putting on their front and rear shocks and are you using the stock ones that come with the kit or are there better ones out there?

I tried that, but the boot was catching on the limiters and removing /adding limiters is more of a pain. Above the cup and under the bumper allows you to add or remove the limiters with the shocks mounted. From what I have read you want 8m TOTAL, count the boots and bumper. Calculating the thickness of the compressed boot was terrible so I just added limiters until I felt there were enough space. Which for mew was 4mm limiters + 3mm bumper and boots on front. And 2mm limiter, 3mm bumper and boots rear. Fully compress your shock and check to see if the cvd is close to hitting the drive cup. If it is, add another 1mm until you have the space you need.

I used the ones that came with the kit. The 1mm clips seemed a little unstable to me and didn't grip as well as the 2mm clips, so i didn't use any 1mm clips. I think the shaft is 4mm, at least it seemed like that when i put calipers on it. So you want to get closed off limiters get 4mm inside diameter.

Been using 3 B-4 shock pistons for external shims ...

I seems like 7-8 mm total limiting are what most setups use. 8mm is the generic answer.

Did you bore them out? Those are 3mm inside diameter , no?

I doubt having more than the minimum limiters needed is going to hurt anything.

Can someone post pics of their front/rear shock limiters placement? ;-)

my rear weight added... 4 blocks on each side in shrink tube for that cleanish look :D

and my b4 plastic hub 8mm mod on my dirty truck that i didnt clean after practice hah

Yeah , you have to drill the piston to use , can use anything almost to shim .

personally like the pistons ,use a sharpie on the pistons for a cleaner look

Jake, is that fuel tubing?

yes it is, but its autozone tube so its stiffer then rc fuel tube hah

most likely going to switch to washers from LHS (local hardware store lol) so i can adjust from 6mm-9mm range so i dont have to adjust with a hobby knife hah.

and i believe their nylon washers are black too :D
