Borak, What is the surface your running on?? Other Than OCRC?
|
ok, well i raced last night. The truck ran night and day better than any other time I ran it. Rotated the right amount in the corners and squared up well. I actually really enjoyed the truck. I ended up TQ'ing and winning with the truck. He is the basics of my setup.
Front: locked clicker Over Drive 19t pulley Yellow springs Camber link inside with 5mm shocks top center and bottom outside 2 oz lead to the left and right of the servo FT Ack in the rear holes Arms Level AE Team Kit Tires 1/2 oz left front and stick pack 2.2/yellow sway bar 32.5 wt oil 1.2 piston no bladders rear front blue springs NO 8mm mod Zero camber shims Camber link middle hub and outside on tower Shock Middle top and inside bottom 2.0/Blue sway bar 27.5 weight oil 1.2 piston no bladders Exotek Front Slipper Locker w/ VTS Outside Sliper 15/62 gearing with a Tekin 550 2 pole 4.5 motor Proline Sniper Tires. arms just below level I went from last place last week to TQ. It was way better. |

There are a couple of things I would recommend to do first if anybody is having issues with their truck.
1. check the left/right balance. I ran a string along the center line of the truck using the shock towers. I ended up adding about 3 ounces of weight to the motor side of the truck to balance out the weight from the battery. 2. Check your diff fluids. If you're running the slipper setup, you want a much thicker oil in the front. This will take away much of the truck's inherent twitchyness. I was running 30k/7k and liked how that slowed up the steering. 3. check your springs. The AE matched sets are no good. The rears are too soft. I ended up using blue fronts in the rear with yellow fronts in the front. This really helped balance the handling and especially helped with the jumps. 4. Use Jconcepts +3mm wheels. The wider wheelbase effectively lowers the cg and pushes your truck out to the roar legal limit. I just thought I'd compile and share some quick tips that can be done cheaply and quickly (well, except the diff fluids) to improve the truck. This has been all stuff I've done and can attest to their benefits. |

Well I'm just going to start over and copy either BKs or Kodys setup except for tires.
So which one will work better on this track? More medium bite than high so I am guessing Kody but want to make sure. Thanks!

One of my best improvements was fitting stock tyres. I put them on the front and rear for a laugh but they where great!

I'm suffering from the wobbly diff. syndrome. What do I need to replace to get the play out? Just the case? The outdrives? The diff. gears? All of the above?
Thanks for your help. |
