Hi guys,
Sorry for the noob question,
But what settings do u use on your esc's for 1/8th buggys?
E.g the punch, drag force n brake force and etc?
Thx

Punch would depend on how slick the surface is. I would start low and work your way up. Consider this your electronic "Clutch"

No drag brake.

Around 75% brake.

i hope that porkchop get well soon

Answered my own question! lol

I know I'm bringing this quote back from the grave. But it's not true. The case doesn't hold the ring for the front / rear center CVD. It's only the boot. If you don't use the ring at all the bearing covers the pin hole about 25%. I think it might be enough to not use the ring or boot. But i'm a little scared not too.

Since the boots seem to be a absolute must to hold the ring. Does everyone have them last long enough? Anyone try the cheaper Mugen boots? http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...-Joint-Boots-2

Another surprise while building it was I couldn't believe the rear chassis brace is connected to a plastic battery box :confused:

yeah I thought it connecting to the battery box was odd myself but I havent had any issues with it

Thx buddy.
Great help.
Cheers

Yes you can!!

Ya, not much else to connect to except for the drive shaft. lol. That wont work.

I ca'd the drive shaft boots on .. hope they hold up well enuff.. I installed the ring as well, but not ca'd.

I've been running cva boots on my ttr S3, and they last pretty good. The rubber isnt as thick as the Serpent ones though. And I stuff em full of grease and I haven't had to replace a cvd on my ttr S3 except for one that got bent in a bad crash.

Has anyone taken the electronic mounting pieces and put them in a truggy roller? If so, how did everything line up? I'm thinking about making my truggy into an e-version of the buggy. If you already did it, take some photos and post them please. I don't know why serpent hasn't made an e-truggy anyway.

Hi guys,
took my 811be out for a run tdy.
Very bad experience.
Problem i had was that when i am at full throttle, my car seems to be not moving much n very slow, Like at snails pace but the motor is spinning and its loud. Plus the braking takes like ages and is not like a sudden brake inout as been placed, but its like jus at a cruzing stop. Any idea what is the problem here?
Diff?s built wrongly, Gear meshing?

What esc and motor combo are you using? Have you set your end points? Are the motor bearings good? More than likely it's just settings in the esc.

Nope buddy, don't think it's the esc. Did find out the problem. It's a loose screw in e diff. Threadlock was not strong enough. Anyway am facing a dilemma now, after putting all e diff back with the housing, the diff seems to lock or seem to be very hard when I tighten the bottom 2 screws and the top 2 screws that house the diff. But then I tighten e screws to wear both covers meet n form properly. So is the diff some to be freewheeling or is it suppose to be tight?

How many shims did you use
