I only consider it a "real" track if they have an AMB system or house loaners if its a different system. And must be maintained regularly. We get layout changes every 3 months or less here.

omg bone, you was an entire second faster there man, see that is what i need to do is look at the prin out an check my times, i do it the wrong way i just listen to the automated voice as she calls out the times and they seem around the same area no matter what springs i put on em and right now i have losi bb on all my ae vehicles well except t4.1 that is

idk what it is but my b4. feels edgy all the time and that is y i prob baby the car around the track as i look at some of the fast guys rip they cars, i wish i could drive my buggy with the confidence to just drive it hard the way i do my sc10

what grease or oil are you guys using on your transmission? reason I'm asking is just blew an idler gear last nite while tq'ing and was on my way to win in the amain and all of a sudden the gear just stripped/blew while going over a small bump in low speed hahah man i have the worst luck with the truck i like running the most!

i have done this before, well wasnt as unlucky as in the amain on my way to victory man, that suck man. well i usem to use 50wt oil to keep it quiet but now i use black grease used for the thrust balls to do the same job and i havent had any other kinda of issues in my tranny either man, so mayb try this and good luck my friend

^ i appreciate it man, ya it sucked ahha but theres always next time, i was thinking the same and going back to black grease but i may look into graphite lube or something equivelant that can hold temps

i have a question for the guys that are good at tuning, i use to have 5 limiters in my shocks a week or so ago and i drove my truck and it felt good but i would have to nogo so hard into a big sweeper so i wouldnt three wheel and get all tippy lol. i took out 2 making me have just three limiters in there and it allowed my truck to roll and i was told give me better outside traction, well my question is how wouldi know if i have too much roll? im able to go harder into the sweeper now and my truck feels good but as it comes to an angle where it is facing the driver stand coming out of the sweeper i can actually see how much it is rolling and im like wow is that too much or just leave it alone since the truck is feeling good? now im doing fast laps consisstently but i just need more wheel time cause it is money.....well i think. the fast guys are doing like 17.5ish and im doing 17.9-18.2 ish so is it the truck or i may need to drive better lines or harder in certain spots or what but i wnt to get in that ball park with em

Whew, just got done cutting out my new race lid and boy will I do it pre paint next time. I don't know why I didn't before this time, but man was it nerve racking getting it all fitted!!! I'll post up a new set of pictures once its mounted and stickered up!

Oh and we have an awesome indoor track here in San Diego. SDRC and a nice outdoor one too just up the road from me. WCRC and OCRC are only 1.5 hours north of me as well. Brian Kinwald and the rest of the AE team was actually here for our first big race series last weekend. Brian took the win in Mod SC, 2nd in 4x4 SC and I think 3rd in Mod buggy.

Is anyone using a plug/connector between the speed controller and motor? I was just looking if anyone made a 3 pole connector and didn't see any. I would like to have a way to unplug the motor from the speedo wires and would like to know what you would use/recommend.

in line bullet connectors,like what comes on some rtr

Okay thanks. Just making sure there wasn't a 3 pole plug available that could be used.

Gamedog, if the truck is faster, don't worry about what it looks like going around the corner. Removing the limiters will allow the chassis to lean more, just like you saw. Also, it's usually a good idea to take a majority of the track into consideration when making changes so you don't screw up how the truck handles on 80% of the track to get it dialed in on 20%. Removing the limiters up front should also allow more weight transfer to the back while you are accelerating out of corners, planting the rear end more and/or taking away steering on power. It shouldn't lawn dart so bad, either, if that's a concern. From what I've seen, that difference isn't too significant.

Duratrax Power Poles are modular, so you can attach as many as you want with lots of different configurations. They are also quite efficient, but more bulky than the bullet plugs.

I never use any grease or lube. The gear mesh is so tight that grease or lube will cause more resistance and put more pressure on the teeth of the idler gear. You will notice grease compacting in-between the teeth of the gears and it will wear them down even faster. The weak link of the tranny is the idler gear. For $2 I replace it every other diff rebuild. But I will inspect it every time and if it shows wear ill replace it. Its a cheap wear item you should keep on hand.



Its what feels best for you. What I like may not be good for you. If you going faster and have more confidence with how it is, then drive it.

Nice lid! I always love new bodies. I dislike painting and cutting them out though.

Yeah, I think I'm fastre in it cause I havemore confidence in the truck and I'm able to drive it harder without worrying about traction rolls
