Yeah, That makes sense re: noise... I did use all the correct weight oils and Hudy graphite diff grease on the diffs... When I lift it off the ground and pull the throttle it's incredibly fast... The tires actually started to come unglued... but as soon as I set it on the ground and pull the throttle, its a dog...

You mentioned you had an Orion RS pro. I assume you meant Tekin RS Pro? If you move the motor so the pinion is not in contact with the spur gear does the car roll freely? If you are running the RS Pro what are your esc settings?

I run a Tekin RS Pro and Gen2 6.5. I'm running a 21 tooth pinion. So your gearing shouldn't be that far off. But that is dictated by track size. I run on a large outdoor 1/8 scale track. That would be way too much motor on a smaller indoor track like asc6000 runs on.

Sorry, It's a Team Orion Vortex R10 Pro Brushless ESC (160A, 2-3S). I will try to to roll it when I get home...

Hey All,

Just a couple quick questions as I start my build:
- do most use a low profile servo? or does the standard fit ok?
- does the V2 upgrade come along with the new kits now?
- any solutions to what I read about leaking shocks?
also any set up tips would be very helpful:
I will be running on a mid size indoor clay track with med. bite
i'm using a LRP Flow with a tekin Gen 2 7.5

Thanks in advance
Jay

standard servos fit fine, depends on the size of your esc/bec/rx etc (I used a full sized servo and moved it backward and still have plenty of room). The kits by now I think would have the upgrades, I'm still running 2 month old stock pieces. The shocks need to seat in, or add o-rings. Box setup is a good start. or the link to petit setups I posted earlier. Get it, run it, love it.

Our track is 65x75, I like a little less motor, always have. When racing of course, when running for fun (on a track) I love to power up and air it out. This car especially seems to like it.

Where do you add the o-rings? I'm getting a lot of discharge between the cap and the body. This rebuild I've done the shocks up extra tight, if this does not work I'm thinking of trying the diagrams from the T4 Shocks.

When I move the pinion away from the spur the car rolls freely... I backed off considerably on the slipper clutch. I did it the way thats directed in the manual but i doesn't appear to be doing anything, in other words the spring seems to be the same distance as when I built it 5.5 mm.

Will the kyosho/TLR/AE big bore pistons directly fit? I want to try out the 1.6 and 1.7 mm 2 hole pistons on many setup sheets. I really don't want to drill out my own ones would prefer factory. I think avid was about to release a set for the xb4 any ETA on that?

The K pistons are too thick. Not sure about the others.

Thanks. What about the tapered gheas

silvalis

iTrader: (29)

Not sure, never tried em. The Avid and K 5H BB pistons need to be about half a mm thinner so you can get the c-clip on. If the Gheas are the same thickness...

cool thanks guess I have to get the drill bits out on my piston tree from xray

I'm using a Savox 1251MG low profile servo in my car. Works fine so far.

To Thereallion. I'm also running an Orion R10 ESC and a 6.5 motor (mine is a ReVtech) I believe I have a 21 tooth pinion on it as well. No issues with speed. If anything, it might be a tad too fast Anyway, maybe there's an issue with your sensor wire? Try a different one. If it's still an issue, try plugging into the other sensor port on the ESC. If it's still an issue, try another motor. Maybe you got a lemon. One of my 5.5 motors has the weakest rotor I've ever felt. I have an 8.5 that is much faster than that 5.5. I'd also try re-calibrating the ESC.
