I've raced mine 5 times so far. 4 times without sway bars and today with. Correct tires and sway bars are by far the best tuning options you can do for the handling on this truck. I made mine out of Jammin hardware and music wire. I'm sure the associated units will be better once the average Joe can get them, but if you have access to anything that will work its well worth it.

what? are you talking about the LRP 550 motor with the 5mm shaft? Use the included 32 pitch spur with a 32 pitch 5mm shaft pinion. I wouldn't run the 48 pitch spur/pinion when running a 550 motor.

Hey all. Great thread
I just got my first ae product and i have build quetion.
All my two diffs and shocks are pre built. Is this normal?

For this kit, yes. Do yourself a favor and pull the shocks apart, remove the screw holding the piston on the shaft, add blue loctite and reassemble. There has been issues with them coming apart. Take the diffs apart and make sure they are full. Most people are running anywhere from 5-50k in the front and 3-5k in the rear...up to you

running lrp x-12 540 8.5 t with 13mm rotor. tekin rs. no timing on motor or esc. sensored mode. 17 tooth pinion. about 180 at motor after 7 min. main. pushing 200 after 10 min. tight indoor clay track. a little hot for my tastes. what motor fans/ heat sinks have u guys got to work? if I drop any more on pinion I loose too much top end.
thanks

no i do not run drag brake n i think it could be a shock issue any advice

wow~ Thanks
5k~50k is huge range... any recommendation for loose dirt?
you guys are awesome

.

I started at 7k front and 5k rear. I really like 30k front and 5k rear. that was on a high bite indoor clay and outside with good line with dust and loamy outside of that.

30k front with 3k rear works for me on both hard packed clay and soft loamy dirt.

Sway bars built! AE31264 and LOSB2222 and about 13 inches of 2mm music wire. Previous articulation was about 4 inches, now cut down to 2. It's gonna be a long week until track time Thursday night!!! I'm scared, it was so good already, i hope i didn't wreck it!!!

Here are a couple of pictures of what I did. If you run the receiver box though this won't work for you.

very clever. I don't run reciever box and I have a spare rx8 fan. I'll. give it a try. thanks!

What wind should I pick for 540 motor to run it on 120' straight outdoor track?

Thanks

I have searched this thread and I may have over looked it, but is everyone running 27mm ride height? I am running 35wt in the front shocks and 30 in the rear. I know the oil doesnt matter on ride height, but I just thought to throw it in there. thx

Depends on the infield more than the straight. We run 7.5 540 just about everywhere.
