Green springs are what most people are running so I'd try just the oil first.

A lot of guys that race use the buggy 1900 so as long as you're not running a lot of back to back packs or using big MT tires/wheels you should be ok.

Hey guys I forgot what degree the truggy come with 10 or 15

So I have ordered mine! This is my first electric truggy for such an amount of money... and the first one with a ready-to-run motor-mount, that also works well.
So far I had mainly self-made conversions (over many years). Except the LRP-conversion set, where I changed the motor-mount with something selfmade, which worked better.

So this is kinda new to me. Hope this truggy is rugged, I guess it is. Currently I run a LRP/ZCar, which is pretty bullet-proof.

Ok we'll I missed out on the deal for the 1900. I knew it would go fast. So my next question is. The tekin site lists 4s 5s and 6s and which motor you should use for each. I usually run 5s and tekin site says to use 1700 or 1550. And 4s 2000 or 2250. Should I really stick to that or would I be good running 5s with the 2000 or 2250? I will probably only run one set of packs then let it rest for a little to cool down then run another set maybe.either that or run only one set... If that matters.

Has anyone try the 10 degree cast on it if so what did it do

I am running an SMC 4S 6700/60C with an RX8/2000 KV truggy motor combo. I have it turned down to 30% and it's faster than any nitro truggy at the track. It's as fast as I can possibly use. I can more than clear the largest triple on the track. Unless you have a really crappy 5S battery I can't imagine using more than 1500-1700 KV with that voltage.

Using less caster gives more low speed steering, and makes the truck a little more twitchy. It helps when you're trying to make the truck pivot around tight corners. Great tuning option!

Thanks carter i stick too the 15 then

I am still trying to decide on a esc and motor. I Have a castle mmm2 and 2200 in my other truck and it's been great I really wanted to try tekin out this time but I just don't like that it is not waterproof. All motors can get wet right? It's just the tekin esc that isn't waterproof? Is anybody using a viper vtx8 esc or have any good or bad experiences with them? It is sensored and waterproof and also looks pretty cool. I was thinking of running that with a tekin 1700 kv motor (run on 5s) or a mamba monster 2/2200kv. I'd be willing to try a viper Motor too but it looks like the 1:8 scale motor only works up to 4s and I usually run 5s so I'd have to use a tekin or some other sensored motor that can get wet. I also see castle is coming out with a monster x that is sensored but idk when it'll be out so I don't know if I would wait for it. Need some advice quick

Et48 Truggy wheels
 

This is my first Truggy... What wheel offset is the norm? 1/2" or 0". I'm used to running 1/2" offset on mt but it seems like most tire wheel packages have 0" offset. Is aka gridiron hard compound a good tire to run for just bashing around? I don't want to be replacing tires a lot so figured hard compound would be good.

0 is the ones you want.

Those should work fine for you, but the Proline Badlands are a great tire also.. :tire::nod::tire:

What size Badland would I run? Would it be the 3.8 MT tire? And would I use a VTR 4.0 wheel to mount them on? Just buying them premounted on the desperado wheel won't work will it? I read that the wheel is too wide and will rub? - Nevermind I found my answer in a post by Overkill. I need to buy the +1mm hexes to makes the desperados work.

Haha.. The VTR's will work perfect! no mods needed
