I am surprised someone has not made a production plate for center mounting the esc. I know some people definitely think it is better.

B 4.3

I think he puts shrink wrap over the weight and shrinks it, then trims, but just a guess.

My buggy has started to get a little squeaky, I am pretty sure it the hinge pins on the arms. Should I replace them with the same thing or is there a better alternative.

Also, nobody answered my above question about the cells shaking around inside the case of my Wolfpacks.

P.S. How do you guys get your cars clean?

there is nothing you can do about the cells inside the pack unless you open the case to double side tape them down.

for the squeaky hinge pins, it could also be your cvd's. Take all the hinge pins out and clean the holes in the arms and polish all of the hinge pins. They build up a little funk over time from normal use.

I just use a compressor to blow off the dust then a little simple green or pledge on a rag to wipe the car down. makes them look new again.

Thanks, also does simple green rust things?

I sprayed a little on the bottom of the chassis to clean things up and now a few of the screws have spots of rust.

I'll probably stick with simple green only on the tires now and pledge for plastics.




More importantly though, is it safe to keep running the lipos?

Is cav running kyo pink springs up front? What castor blocks only have 2 holes?

lol, you live in Florida. things rust there. you might end up requiring more maintenance than us in AZ. Dry here all but 2 months.

Try this spray cleaner. Works great by spraying on chassis, suspension and shocks. I would avoid bearings directly and electronics. Let it sit for a few seconds then blow off with an air compressor. Cleans great and smells decent.

Most likely on the kyosho springs. The two hole caster blocks are the older ones and molded out of a stiffer material. part number should be ASC9593.
