I'm doing a routine maintenance disassembly and everything looks great, my only question is that he belt tension still seems tight( I have the kit setup tension). I run a 6.5 and was told to leave it this way for low turn motors, however it just seems too tight. Is anybody running looser tension that the kit setup with a 6.5 or 5.5 motor? I run at OCRC so a medium to height bite clay track.

Thanks

All you need to do is go to one of the big races like the JBRL and you'll see that the 13.5 wheelers are about the same speed as the full mod buggies. Keeping in mind that open 4 whl is at a minimum an expert class. Most guys running a big motor just can't handle it. A 13.5 wheeler is like a stock buggy with killer traction. You can stay on it all the time. You can't do that with a 6.5.

Casper is sponsored by TLR. What's he running in the JBRLs?

First time racing in 20 years last Friday. They ran a mixed group mod and 13.5 4wd. I got 2nd place with 13.5.

It depends of the tracks
Big motor is not only more power but also more brake
For some very high grip tracks (like carpet), it could be useful with an heavy car.

Leave the kit belt settings in it. When Tyler ran for TLR, his 1.0 was ran for entire season on kit belts and we did a ton of racing. All we did is have a spare front and rear diff ready to swap out when the others needed rebuilt and that wasn't that often. That car took a lot of punishment from Tyler and only ever broke each front arm once. Heck, we even ran plastic steering posts and and Ackerman bar clear until end of that season and the square piece finally broke on steering arm. Best car on market still in our eyes!!

The team all runs 0 side and B-back in the rear for mod.

Amain shows the pivot brace as in stock. Just snagged 2 for my parts box this morning :sneaky:. FYI . . .

I am pretty disappointed about that.

Same issue for me, i built them last night and they are binding badly.. not sure if i have to reorder new sets ...maybe ask horizon for a new set..

Also, i know it's another quick question would be what are the wheels compatible with the 22-4 ?

AJrollin 10-28-2016 09:09 AM

Ok, thanks Frank.

I just checked Amain and they say out of stock for TLR231045. I hope there are more following soon.

We still have more, they're just allocated, waiting on dealers to release their back orders :rolleyes:

For the guys running 13.5 what should we set the tension for on the buggy?
