Yes and No LOL.

I based it off Maifield's setup with a little extra rear camber and different ballast weight since I run the Exotek. It's amazing how much better and easier it is to drive AND driver mod helped a lot too. Glad I didn't give up on this truck. Also played with Dual rate/EPA/Expo settings on the M11x, now I don't oversteer.

I can now go FULL THROTTLE on the long sweeper into the straight and it is F'N AWESOME! :lol: Then you have to Brake HARD (so much so that the rear tires come up) and 180 into the Table Tops. So much fun!!


I had to change a lot of things from my outdoor setup but it is all good. I think this will actually help my outdoor setup now because it is setup for a medium grip/dusty surface.
Now the only thing I need is more BarCodes and more track time. Learning the right line and staying in the lane was HUGE.

I need help please? thanks in advance...Jeff

Where are you taking your measurement at?

As stated, where are you taking your measurements? You need to check on the chassis behind the front skid plate and in front of the rear skid plate. Make sure you are on the flat part of the chassis. Also make sure to adjust your shock collars to compensate for the ride height. Once I lowered mine to 23mm I noticed much better handling. :nod:

Hope this helps..

RCJJ 09-08-2012 07:25 AM

measuring the height right in front of the skid plate, & under front shock tower springs are adjusted all the wa up, same oil, spring, piston...
it could be just the "ballast"...:blush:

How much and where is your weight placed?

Well after lots of racing, the standard saddle lipos just doing cut it runtime wise with a 4 pole. So i whipped this up on the CNC to run 2 1s 6500 60c Reedy lipos, wired as a 2s saddle. Now I have 6500mah which should be plenty of runtime over the regular saddle lipos. Heres a sneak peak of the prototype.

Those aren't saddle packs. Look close.

Ryan I added 20 grams of the of the ballast weight up front on each side of the servo. Works great.
I can probably get away with 15 and it would be alriight. I like that it naturally nose dives.

I was in a huge race today and after doing only one qualifier I qualified in the B main out of 40 entries and that was driving carefully and conservative.
Truck was on rails. BarCodes in Green Compound were the $$. I've only been on this track once too so I'm pretty optimistic that I can do better.

I wasn't jumping big like the Losi's I played it safe. I wanted to be consistent.

I gotta say in indoor I'll be keeping this truck now.

SC Shaun 09-08-2012 07:11 PM

correction: 40grams each side, Jeff.

Every bit of that is in the front of his truck. =)

They said "soon" last year around christmas. =/

ryanpatrickgore 09-08-2012 07:45 PM

Nothing on the left side of the chassis? My battery side is heavier.

SC Shaun 09-08-2012 07:47 PM

Saddle packs, broseph. There 'isn't' a battery side. =)

But yes, Ryan also put something like 30-40 grams in the bucket with the spur gear because he was running the big Reedy 550 motor.
