Yep, 4WS...drives awesome, love it! Still getting them both tweaked perfect to give a real good comparison though. Couple video links below.

Got a new basher video if anyone wants to check it out. Some pretty sweet backflips.

15* spindles will make it easier to drive but will not provide as much initial steering going into the corner. The 10* spindles will allow you to enter into the corner, will make the steering a little more sensitive and you will loose some mid-corner steering on power. You can play around with the kick-up in the front to find a happy middle depending on which way you go. I like the 10* spindle over the 15* for the track's I've been running on.

Hope this helps,
Mark

I always struggled with my rc8t
maybe not agressive enough in the 180's!?
my truck is built, ill drive it like that but noticed you use 10* spindles
was wanting to know how much difference there was and how it acts with each! I have your setup minus the 10*
ill go with that til I order parts later
thanks!

Marc,

It really comes down to personal preference. I always carry both 15 and 10. If it's a really rought track I may choose 15 over the 10 just to smooth it out. If the track has tight 180's then I'll go with the 10, if it's fast and flowing I may go to the 15's.

Hope that helps,
Mark

Thanks Marc, I have both stock and 15 degree as well as stock and +1 rear hubs, I just went through my spares!
I'm going to 2 new tracks, 180's were always my weak areas

i learned with 180's and tight turns in general is that you have to break at least a little bit before hand to get the weight back on the front wheels before turning in more so than on a buggy where you may instead just throw the rear into the turn to slow down.

Looking into picking one of these up as my first truggy... I am a complete noob and am reading up as much as I can...

I am wondering though if someone could explain to me the different motor/esc shenanigans... specifically the kV of a motor in conjunction with the battery being used.

If you could even just link me to somewhere where it is explained in greater detail I would really appreciate the help!

Thank you. :D

What bodies fit our trucks with little to no modification?

thanks man...sorry for the delay...I gave a close up of the front wheel well so you can see the cut outs necessary to run LARGE wheels and the space needed for the front camber links - I probably will dremel out the entire wheel well flares for a cleaner look, but I'm trying to live with it for a bit. All of this would not have been needed if I figured out a way to mount the front end of the body higher. Important to note, I used the Proline mounting system by driving the threaded screws into the wing mount. This way, I can quickly swap out and replace with the wing should I want to run the original body. Diversity boys!
