Has anybody considered ditching the receiver box, and stuffing saddle packs (or Losi's shorty 60C/3800 lipo sideways) in the back of the chassis rather than having the left and right segregated?
I think it is being done. |
I just ordered 2 rear from absolute hobbyz. :nod:
im still selling 2 front for $25 shipped to the lower 48. |

OK guys, ThunderbirdJunkie has some what-might-be-stupid questions for you.
The ballstuds you guys are spacing up...couldn't find it with a search of the thread, so please direct ThunderbirdJunkie to the answer if it has been covered...is it the front or rear? The rear inside tire seems to lift first, so ThunderbirdJunkie is currently stuffing 6mm of spacers under the front inner ballstuds and 3mm in the rear. Does this seem reasonable? The inner ballstuds also seem to be disagreeing with this 6mm spacing, and ThunderbirdJunkie needs a ballstud with longer thread...is this available? Do you think 3mm on both ends will suffice? Got the front swaybar set today....going to install that too. Farmer John tried to numb the front end further with more spacers, but for Farmer John it just unbalanced the truck and made it's handling worse than if Farmer John had just left it be. |

Farmer John has found that taking Associated's desired roll center and lowering it evenly on both ends has produced the best results...for Farmer John. Remember, the lower the roll center, the more resistant the chassis will be to roll...

The overtray looks cool...but with no air flowing over both the ESC and motor I would think heat would become an issue...

and where are the holes for the body pins?
But have you ever heard of something called a "body reamer"? Also, this does more for keeping dirt out than the Pro-Line driver....plus "not sealing properly" was probably done on purpose to help with air flow, which will help with the cooling problem mentioned... Just sayin' ;) |
One thing I have noticed is the insane amount of dirt that gets inside all around the chassis, granted that only happens when I run it on a track with loose dirt, but it really seemed I had at least 1/2 pound of extra weight on it!!!
On a different note I was able to try out the f/r sway bars, I really liked how much harder I was able to drive, specially into the turns.... Having a blast with my truck !! |

Now, since I'm anal about my shock length (it's an On-Road thing) does anyone who has lengthened their rear shocks by this "three turns out" have an overall length in mm of their rear shocks (measured at full extension from the very top of the shock to the very bottom...not eye to eye)? |
I got the 12mm ti ni front inner ballstud, 2mm longer, and run 4.5mm shims with 7mm OD for stability.
I run the tekin rx8/sc4x 4.5t with the 13t and it runs 125degrees every race on three different tracks |
