The single best thing I did to my .2 to settle it down and they made a huge difference. Run them on the rear, and its a pretty quick change.


Try either 2mm or 3mm if you find them. I don't run them on my .3 all the time , but they are in the box for those days when I just cannot get my shiz straight.

Full disclaimer : Your results may vary ....

Settle down? Do you have 4 washers in each steering limiter? Also Tekno has a set as well... http://www.teknorc.com/shop/tkr5071c...et-wpins-2pcs/

So what springs would u guys recommend for a small medium grip track?

RC Matt 01-08-2016 03:09 PM

What tools do u guys recommend I get with this buggy

rcjunky10 01-08-2016 07:05 PM

I just ordered my setup, I'm re-equipping after being away from the hobby for a bit, and wanted to ask what size packs you guys are choosing for mains in the 8-10 minute range? Mostly running on medium to large outdoor tracks.

Looking at Lutz's setup sheet and he's running a 5000mah pack.

Cheers!

Springs, etc., Bornhorst's NB48.3 setup for wicked seems to be the starting point - pint front and red rear I think with 425f and 475r ptrc oil.

I use the MIP and Hudy hex bits and a Lowe's handle or small electric screw driver. Tekno shock tool and Lowe's Kobalt nut drivers. Needle nose pliers and Tekno or Hudy turnbuckle wrenches. 17mm wheel wrench. I have some other tools in the box, but these are my main ones.

Hey guys I am about to buy one of these buggies and I was wondering if it mattered which way the servo was on because the one I'm looking at has the knob on the right. I just want to know if it will effect anything or is it fine.

5000 should work on 4S. I have a 5200 and 6500 from SMC just because I wanted to see if there was much of a diff between 60C and 70C. I can't tell a diff.

How much run time do you get with the 6500 and what electronics are you running?

Honestly, I don't know. I only have two race days on buggy and other than a couple of quick practice sessions before the heats begin, I haven't had a chance to practice and see how long I can run. I'm using a Tekin RX8 Gen2 and Tekin T8 1900kv. I wish it was summer so I could practice.

I want to say after 10m main, 2/3 warmup laps included, the 6500 comes off around storage voltage, maybe a little less, but still in the 3.8x per cell range.

I get close to 15+minutes plus on a medium sized track.....but they are two separate practice runs .....not one straight

I've ran a 5000 at fear farm and hit Lvc. 5200-5800is ideal due to weight balance

Could you guys answer my servo question I asked earlier please

The servo should be square off the the servo saver. \\


Not this |\

Refer to the manual or Tekno website.

I don't quite understand the question. Any pics?

22 minutes tekin rx8 and 2050kv motor 6500mah smc and 16 or 17 minutes with turnigy 5000mah 20c (a lot less punch too)
