Default Avid Triad top shaft and slipper clutch

just got back from practice first time running the avid system . defiantly smoother then the stock system can really come on the throttle a lot harder . on the speed control adjustment for punch before i was only able to run at 4 and now i can run at 9 with the speed passion revention pro . i turned the fastest laps from any class . my fastest lap was 15.6 my ave laps were 16.3 . most racers were turning anywhere from 16.8 as their fastest and their ave laps were around 18.0 and higher . i would say the avid system is a must have.

Without changing anything else but the gold springs to the kit red springs the car almost bottomed out. After adjusting the shock collars appropriately I got the ride height where I want it.

If you can turn the punch up and hit the throttle harder, doesn't this just mean it slips more?

Sounds to me like you've either got a bad set or the wrong spring altogether. Do you still have the kyosho bag that says the part no?

no.... it just don't break loose with very little slip. were as the stock system is very inconsistent with adjustment .

As you were typing this I was out in the side yard digging through our trash can with a flashlight to find the tag for the springs. Part number is XGS034. Looking for part numbers....

EDIT: If I am looking at this right XGS034 are truck springs and the buggy springs are XGS013. Looks like CA was on the right track, even though these are also 73mm long just like the buggy springs. I think they just have a different wind.

Are you running that in Mod or 17.5?
I run 17.5 and am wondering if it will help or am I just adding more rotating mass. I run on a med/high traction indoor clay track.
I guess my question is; is this helpful for 17.5? Or just mod?
Your thoughts please?

IMO its a waste of money for 17.5. I ran stock at spectrum with a slipper iliminator and 64 pitch gears with no problems. But if ur having problems with wheel spin and putting the power down then it's a good option. I run the ae setup in my mod car and I think it does help.

i practiced with 17.5 blinky 13.5 blinky and 10.5 worked great with all three . the only difference between the three is 17.5 slips less then 13.5 and 13.5 less then 10.5 . the adjustment really didn't change but the fastest was the 13.5 on the given layout . the avid system was warm not hot and it is nice and quite running... true gears very nice gear mesh. that was running till the battery lipo cut off.

What's the biggest advantage to running 64p gearing?

I went up to a new track and after running this car two days of prac...... Why did I wait so long I feel very connected to the car very quick. I had a few issues at first where it felt slow of the bottem Tekin Rs and gen2 17.5 "blinky" I went in my Hotwire messed with when the throttle comes on a little bit sooner this car is a rocket I had ppl asking what I did to the car cause from my first two runs then switched the setting and the car was night and day different I had ppl accusing me of running boost . The tracks average fast laps are 15'6 I broke into a 14'4 overall very happy with this car!
Will Kyosho realese a 2wd SCT version of this car?

Hey guys I've been tweaking on my car here at SDRC. Still going to work on a few things on the front end, but so far this feels pretty good.

Do u really have the 2mm spaced behind the arms on the toe block hinge pins? I was thinking about going back 1mm to see how it would respond.
