Hope they release the 3.1 soon! Waiting to try a truggy until then. Of course with the prices slashed on the 3......maybe a very lightly used will pop up at a price I can live with as a test mule until the 3.1 hits!

I'll probably upgrade my 3 as stuff wears out unless there are drastic changes.
#558
I wonder how long it take till the 3.1 come out I like t3 but I broke few arms on it
#559
Put the mugen front uppers and lowers and mbx7tr rear camber links. That'll address any arm issues. I have broken the mugens also.

I'm running the hot bodies orange spring in rear and associated blue(3.1 20mm) up front. I was running a mugen spring up front. I got 20mm blue yellow and maybe grey associated fronts and have only tried the blue. I could never get the front ride height above 32mm and after 8 months I figured out I had the 70mm instead of 75 mm mugen springs. I'm tired of the mugen springs I like color coded springs not 70-1.7-7.5. The mugen tags fall off and for me are a pain to identify w/ no tag. Truck is much better w/ a 36-8mm front ride height obviously. I placed 5th yesterday in amain w/ this truck and it's my second season of owning/racing rc cars. This truck is great and is getting more popular. I used to be the only one maybe 1 other one and yesterday there was at least 3 in the A main. I think the cheap price sparked some interest in this truck the last few months. I've driven one w/ the stock set up and it was a hand full. I got most of the dnc on mine other than a few things Fred P told me to do which really chilled it out. If I want it to push it will push if I want it to rotate It can rotate. Mugen rear links and front uppers and it is rock solid. Although I've been seeing some w/ stock uppers and stock rear camber link/ends and they said they have no problems. So something must have changed because I went threw dozens of uppers/ camber ends in the first 2-3 months w/ this truck. Any funny landing would be a snap or a rear wheel laying on its side w/ uni sticking up for me last june/july.

AE rear springs seemed ok, but those were the last springs we ran and it was pretty good. I lost the notes from the day but I kind of remember the AE rear spring producing better laptimes but RS liked the way the truck "felt" with the teckno sets.
#567
Okay thanks. Is that tekno rear spring stiffer also?
#568
What about that HB orange. Is that stiffer or lighter?
#569
I think I want to set up my T3E like the new DB8, any ideas what is needed??
