Questions??

Since the smc he recommended is even lighter (by 10grams) and has the ability to move front or rear because it's a short pack, it sounds like a better tuning option don't you think? Plus I'll still get the brass weight that helps with steering.

You can give it a try. I had a similar pack made by spc and couldn't find the right position to run it in.

Hey guys, just finished my build and I didn't see anywhere in the manual where they have the recommended pinions like all the other kits. I'm running the tekkin 2050kv motor.

Thanks Merse

Hi InARush,

I will try an answer, but I'm not sure it's all right.
It seems that the front arms are at 10° ( chassis plate and gearboxes / A and B plates)
If you had the front 15° hubs, we have a total of 25° for the front caster.
If you change the front and rear hinge pin bushings you will change from 23° to 27°.
The set up in the manual shows 2 inserts "1" in front and rear, the front in up position and the rear in down position. This set up gives you the maximum of 27°, and the other combinations are in the manual, page 16.
For example, if you reverse the "1" bushings positions, compare to the manual set up, you will have a total of 23°, the minimum.
I hope you will understand my poor English.
Bye !
