You'll have to let me know how they mount to the chassis. And how much it weighs if you can. I was interested in them but figured i could make one without a shit house of holes in my chassis.

Well as for the esc shelf i believe mine is the best. Because i made it myself and with the materials, and the shorter wires i actually lost a gram, by moving to the esc shelf...

Do you guys see much in the way of tradeoff of having a higher COG with the ESC mounted higher vs. the weight balance of having it on the side? The Tekin RS is only 24g, was thinking I would just add a little weight to the Rx side to balance.

Oh, I got one of these on the way! Going to run 2wd buggy & SCT indoors and 4x4 SCT & ebuggy outdoors

I decided to run a shorty and run the esc behind it in the battery tray. Was very happy with the overall balance and feel of the car.

Yes I do realize it. But I think its work a try I wss going to try it behind my shorty pack but I didnt have a shorty pack so this is the next best thing. I guess if I like this I should like it with a shorty pack assuming I like the shorty pack

I think you just come on here to toot your own horn and hear yourself talk! Wild cherry is the most helpful guy on this thread, I don't even know him and he has helped me out personally more than anyone I even race with by sharing his thoughts on what he has tested. So do us a favor and go tell somebody who cares. I'm not the kinda person who likes to blast people behind a keyboard but your comments really get under my skin!!!

WC you should feel loved

Your super informative

5 line, 20 word "tech" posts

Have obviously changed many

I personally felt like the inline mounting of the electronics reduced the "pendulum" feel of the car and made for a much more balanced feel. It very well could be mental, but the car seems more linear in the way that it breaks traction. It's hard to explain but I personally like the feel of inline mounted electronics vs side mounted.

Im going to run my buggy tomorrow or thursday and let you guys know about the chassis stiffeners and the center esc mount. The best I can I can tell you what they are suppose to do but on carpet sometimes things that are suppose to happen dont and vise versa. Have any of you guys ran these mods onroad ozite high hite carpet?

This might be crazy???? But why don't u put the receiver under the speed control tray would it fit?? Eliminate the need for alum to balance the buggy. Or could u put the receiver in front of the shorty pack?
Or make the speed control tray longer for the receiver to fit.
Make a lipo hold-down wide enuff to mount the speed control on it, an get rid of the tray? That in turn would kinda lower the COG.

Cus I like you ?
When ever you post off topic about my personal instead about the B4 ?

Will post a image of my PINK ride for you to enjoy ...



I need to tell you guys the set up changes of late ....

There kinda interesting to some that need to know ...

1st
The shelf ....

It is used only for the Roar rule ..

It does add a little extra roll to the car ....

2nd
Centering the electronics's helps the handling with more equal or balance steering in each direction.
That's why were doing ....

Putting the ESC in the battery tray helps lower the COG of the car, smooths out the roll to the car .
*Really recommend doing over the shelf method as it offers the best handling .


Pistons & oil

The Taper piston offer quicker rebound , so when the car lands & needs to turn ?
will respond & turn much better with the taper design .

Been using

front
3 x 1.4 taper 35w , green spring
rear
2 x 1.6 taper 32.5w , white spring

Of late ..
also using a shorter camber link , now outside stud hole on rear U brace ...
Why ?
For improve rotation on sharper turns...

note : the 2 x 7 gram weights on top of servo
why ?
For improved on power steering..

AVID Triad slipper tune tip ....

Install a RED pad next to the spur & then a white pad ...

Why ?

Improves the acceleration for the jumps , stops the slipper from ramping up just before the jumps ...


all these tune tip are for med high traction indoor clay

Bbbbbooooossshkins! Yummy! I changed to Beast Ice in college because money was low. Busch Light is top shelf for me.

All I had left , Hefe all gone ......

Busch Light....seriously?!? That's for cooking brats or feeding the compost heap.

I thought any inline ESC mounting technique made inflight corrections easier too. It makes getting at the rear toe block and/or anti-squat shim a pain in the butt but it seems worth it.

I have to say that for me the esc shelf stiffened the rear of the chassis, (worth the trade off) I run the esc under and the receiver on the shelf. That being said the car rolls the corners well and squares excellent do I believe it's well worth it to use it.
