Has anybody tried the lower front/rear arm anti twist bushings? I know PSM makes them and possibly revolution designs. I was looking into them for my T3, thanks for any input

I've run them and they didn't seem to make a huge difference. They did cause a bit of binding in the arms but a reamer could fix that.

This may not be the way everyone does it. But I would, try more rear toe in, first. Then up the rear diff oil if you need more.

5k in rear diff, move rear camber link next, shortest wheelbase in the rear.

Anyone running the hobbywing xr8 motor and esc? My motor overheats like crazy.. I've tried different pinions from 14t to 17t but nothing helped. I have a 15t on it now. Motor spins free and so does the drivetrain. Bearings are good, solder is good(even re soldered and shortened the wires). Its overheating so bad i can maybe go 9 minutes if i dont have a heatsink and fan on it and even with the hs and fan it will thermal at around 14 minutes so thats cutting it close in an a main with practice laps. If anyone has any input.. thanks

Does the drivetrain spin freely when you have no pinion? What are your diff fluids?

Its the newest 1900kv and yes its free when the pinion is off. Running 5/5/3 in diffs. Esc doesnt get very hot its just the motor and its about a month and a half old. I also drilled holes in the body for air flow and it didnt really change anything.

Call them up because it needs to go in. I just lost a tekin ESC so don't feel bad. Look into SMC 1900. They're $70 and really good motors.

Do you have the thermal shutdown enabled in the esc, or are you checking the motor temp directly with an IR thermometer? I have found the Hobbywing thermal protection shuts off WAY before the motor is actually too hot. I always disable it and measure the motor temps.

Default front arms

does other brand lowewr front arms fit instead of original B3.1 arms?
need to go to race with new just built kit with no spare front arms, as those are out of stock, so curious if some other brand front arms could fit...if some need ocurs.
