Need a little help. I looking for a little longer dogbanes for this car. I'm running bmax 2 shafts and in my modified suspension setup I'm running a little short, could use about 3 more mm to make it work. Any suggestions?

For those asking about the aluminum front castor blocks, they were just added at Amain: http://www.amainhobbies.com/rc-cars-...2-413a/p481803

$41 yikes...... I got my entire car for $300 (new in box roller with body). I just got mine built for a small carpet track. I don't think I will hop it up for some time.....I have driven two other peoples cars and they felt great....

By comparison, at least this isn't an Xray branded car thread...

If you want a stiffer front block, the graphite ones will do that for $9; if you want them to be more "durable", the stock ones are a part I've seen one YZ-2 break once out of all of them running my area over the past year.

The YZ-4 front ones are long, real long; would probably bind the drive cups on up travel but are the only Yoke ones longer than the Bmax2's that I'm aware of.

I was the guy asking about the aluminum front blocks....Just ordered them the other day from A-main....funny huh? I asked about them and 3 days later they're up!

I have tried those ones, and yes they are a little too long. I switched the wheel pin side for the rear and the dog bone was binding in the diff cup holder.

Hey guys,

Finally made the time to paint my wife's Azarashi lid. I'd have used a different color on the front, but it looks pretty nice.










Tha fit is perfect but I will say I feel it is absurdly and unnecessarily too thin on the sides.

Actually it's the other way around, a cable with a larger cross sectional area have less resistance.


"Resistance in a wire can be defined as

R = ρL / A

where

ρ = resistivity
L = Length
A = cross sectional area

Thicker gauge wires have a larger A, and therefore the resistance of the wire decreases keeping everything else constant."

Incubus,

That paint job is incredible!! Working on mine. Thinking yellow/red/Orange in front, checkerboard stripe, fading into metallic purple in the back.

I was taught (perhaps incorrectly) that thicker wire means larger solder points/joints which nullify the benefit of the thicker wire because solder creates more resistance than the wire itself. Smaller diameter wire may have greater resistance but it is so minimal that in the end, because of the reduction in overall size of the solder joints it means current will flow more freely and result in overall reduced resistance.

Is this incorrect?

Thank you sir! Need to snap pics of it in the sunlight so the candy purple really pops.

For your red I would suggest Spastix Fire Red if you want a really bright red.

Since most of the soldering is direct connection with no connectors the larger diameter wire has less resistantance if you soldering is good. Its the more solder points that creates resistance more so than wire diameter.

I wish I had the patience (and the talent) to paint bodies like that! Let us know how the body holds up after a few races. I really like the shape of it.
