R/C Tech Forums - Team Magic E4 Thread

10.5, 13.5 17.5 and I think 21.5 as well. Like I posted on the Ballistic thread I never ever liked Novak products but this one has me looking hard at getting one.:nod: Man saying that if you knew well is going to make hell freeze over.:lol:

I have to think they would be killer motor in the E4 for fit and maximum motor movement. That small end looks great for fitament in an E4.:nod: Black in color don't hurt either as I like black anodize.

LIKE A GLOVE MAN!
Just ask O.J.. LOL

Hi guys,

Well, just opened the box.

What a nice view. 80% pre-mounted !!! lol !!!

Now, i do see that the servo is double-faced tape mounted, its that enough ?, or the aluminum servo mounts are a MUST BUY ?.

thanks,

I have the Yeah Racing alum servo mounts. They are only 7 bucks at my buddies shop at normal price. Tought to beat and they work perfectly on the E4. Almost look like factory and if i polished them they would look factory.:D

cant even think u'd buy 'bob' brand B. almost feel sick over the thought.

idk if tekins are any shorter, prolly not (but never lined em up side by side). orion is comin out with a shorter motor according to O.J. at Euros this past wk. idk if duo2 is any shorter. oh well time will tell

Sorry to be an ass on this John, im kinda new to electrics, sand the rings ?, hows that ?, and why ?.

What you think about the servo being helded by tape ?, i dont have access to servo mounts at least for this weekend, for the next race no prob but for now, i dont, would the tape resist ?

havent really been able to tape a servo down only to a car since the bolink legend IMO, u should be able to find mounts that will work at ur hobby store.

Do you have access to stuff called Shoe Goo or Goop. You can put that on the servo and mount it on the chassis. WHen it dries it will hold your servo in place but allows it to removed later without damaging anything.

The diff rings are not flat from the factory. Remove them and wet sand them with 300 grit sand paper. They will be really shiney and smooth. Makes the diff really smooth.

This will ensure the diff balls have a consistent surface and makes for a much smother diff. Also it doesn't have to be so tight as before the rings were smooth. there is a vid somewhere of Jiles Groescamp rebuilding a 416 diff. You might want to check it out. ;)

Wyd,did you put spacers under the ball on the rear turnbuckle at the bulkhead side??
If not and you use the middle mount on the bearing holder on the rear the upper arms could bind on it.
This was with my car and that also solved my car breaking out at full throttle comming out of a corner.

cheers Roy
