I have a few newbie questions about the Lutz setup.
Springs-Front shock says "white blue rear spring". Does that mean run a rear spring on the front?
Rear shock says Blue in the top box and then in notes says white green?
Piston - 1.9x2 - does this mean 2 1.9mm holes? can you order these or have to get blanks and drill?
What does the length represent for shocks - 116mm front and 126mm rear?
What oil wt. is 700cst and 525cst?
What degree is the stock hub carrier? setup has 10degree
In the bottom picture what is the 1.0mm and 2.0mm that is pointing around the rear hinge pin?
How do you adjust ride height? By adjusting shock spring tension?
Thanks for any help!

You Tube tutorials.
My personal favorite is URC (Ultimate RC) the Jang.
A lot of people like tutorials by (squirrel).
When in doubt, follow the manual's directions, test drive, and then make changes according to what works best for you.
If you are just now getting into the hobby, hang out at the nearest track you can find. Talk with the regulars. You will learn a lot in just a few months.

I have a few newbie questions about the Lutz setup.
Springs-Front shock says "white blue rear spring". Does that mean run a rear spring on the front?
If that is what he ran, then yes, rear spring in front
Rear shock says Blue in the top box and then in notes says white green?
He could have started with a blue and changed to the white/green
Piston - 1.9x2 - does this mean 2 1.9mm holes? can you order these or have to get blanks and drill?
2 holes, 1.9mm diameter. You would need to drill piston blanks or glue/melt some holes closed and drill some of the available pistons
What does the length represent for shocks - 116mm front and 126mm rear?
The shock measurements are probably from center to center for droop settings
What oil wt. is 700cst and 525cst?
The oils he uses are in cst. PT Racing
What degree is the stock hub carrier? setup has 10degree
In the bottom picture what is the 1.0mm and 2.0mm that is pointing around the rear hinge pin?
Rear arm spacing
How do you adjust ride height? By adjusting shock spring tension?
Ride height is adjusted with the shock collars

hey fellas iv got a DNX408T and was seeing what I can do to convert to elect? I know with the serpent truggy I could just bolt in a electric motor mount from the buggy and would work. can the same be done with Durango set ups?

On a side note, I put my truggy on 4 scales to check balance, and it is near perfect 50/50

Tech Rookie
I'm getting mine next week.
I read every page of this thread, I'm concerned for the driveshafts, as many of you broke some already. Is there anything to do about that? The closest track is about 200km away so I'm going to bash with this truck off-road when I get it, how well do you think it can handle bashing? I got a 5000mah and a 4900mah Reedy LiPo's, can I use them despite the 100mah difference? They're both 35c and 7,4v. Also got 2x3700mah 2S LiPo's, think they'd be enough?
Post all your mods, tweaks and whatever you found useful etc.

I would definitely use pairs of the sam battery and also, I'm not sure you will want over 5000mah depending on how much run time your looking for. As far as breaking parts and or the driveshafts, I have broken nothing on mine..... I wouldn't worry about that unless you drive and crash like a maniac....
