Yeah,,, when I talked to Wolf he suggested I order it from a Hobby Shop.
I guess that gives the kit some needed exposure and I think maybe even a little bit of a break on shipping and what-not. Also I know there will be someone there to recieve it once it arrives.
You are building yours ? So it does come as a kit ! Awesome.. my C1 came assembled and there were issues. This new car is going to be PERFECT!
The Tekin motor and speedo will look great with all those red anodized parts.
I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait! :rolleyes: :lol::lol:

Its not done yet, but you guys can get the basics of it. The car is pretty much box stock, the only thing i didnt use, was the gold turnbuckles. : / not the flashiest. lol. I put the ones that i had on my rs for now, but hunting down some red or black ones. the chassis is a little dfferent, but the car goes together so easy and the wolf parts look real good and takes the slop out. On the rs and fs the chassis was bevelled so it wouldnt catch on the carpet, but on this chassis those are gone and the chassis is that much narrower?

one more.. let me know if you have any questions... this is the level 3 edition titanium axles and the belt upgrade

slop in the axles
 

Hey guys,

I'm running the e4rs 09 edition.I do have a question about the amount of play/slop in the axles.this area seems to be the biggest let down of an otherwise fantastic car.

How do u guys solve this problem?

Thanks and regards

It looks real nice! :)

I used some 10x13mm shims to take out the slop on mine.
I put mine right between the outside bearing and the hub.
It is a little trial and error to find the right thickness to take out all of the slop but it worked.
Here is a link to some from nexus racing http://www.nexusracing.com/product_i...oducts_id=2375

Remove the uprights from the car.
Clean the parts with non residue spray ... electric motor cleaner.
Take a Q-tip and some medium super glue and make a thin layer around the plastic there the outer race of the bearing rests. Let it dry and try to fit the bearing ... if it's still lose... add another layer . Make sure you let the glue dry completely before attempting to fit the parts together.

Shimming the bearings on the axle will not remove the slop in these parts , only puts undue stress laterally on the bearings but will make them move together. Not solving the problem just causing others. Good luck with that one. :tire:

Now there's a tip.

Thanks John

What's the deal with wolfhobbies I ordered parts for my E4 and they cancel my order for some reason. I just got an e-mail stating "Your order# 00007532 has been cancelled by the store Administrator. Thank you.":flaming::flaming::flaming::flaming::flaming:

I had placed an order through a local hobby shop and I don't know what happened to it either but that was the second time something like that has happened to me . I don't think anything Wolf had done affected it in that case but perhaps the payment method you used failed. Sometimes if you use a credit card and use a different shipping address the card providers could have denied it. Either way , Wolf would have been more than happy to send your order. I had to call my hobby shop and Wolf to clarify the happenings with my order. It took a few minutes to figure out what happened but rest assured , the order is now on its way. At least mine is...:weird::D

I did use paypal. I guess I'll try it again

I'm sure that everyone would also recommend changing to the aluminum uprights as well. Either the K Factory part or the Wolf Hobbies part will help considerably. I use the K Factory uprights on both of my E4's and they are great! The Wolf parts are less expensive and just as good. The Wolf axles are a great option part as well.(far less complicated and available in aluminum or Titanium)

Well my situation has changed and so I'm not going to be doing much racing for a while so I have my E4rs DE edition up for sale if any of you are interested. Its the level 3 kit so it has all the goodies and a few spares as well. I put to car together but its never even had the electronic mounted in it. Ill let it go for 500 shipped if any of you are interested. Ill have pics soon. Pm me if interested. I wanted to give you guys first crack at.

First crack..:lol:
I didn't care to get my first car pre-assembled with all due respect I like to know if somethings wrong it was my fault. My L3 kit should arrive here Monday and dammit but If maybe next month if you still have it.... maybe P.M. me and or I will you... bad timing. :(

Hey guys heres a link to my for sale thread it any of you are interested.

Hey guys,
What are you all using to adjust the aluminum turnbuckles on the E4?
I didn't notice that TM has a wrench specifically for these and I'd hate to use pliers or something damaging like that.

I think I'm gonna make a 7075 turnbuckle wrench like the Lunsford one and see how it turns out.:sneaky:

Isn't it TM has a black fancy looking wrench to adjust those tinny little turnbuckle..? I know all my E4 kits has 1 inside the box...it is a black aluminunm wrench with mutiple sizes like Tamiya type...kinda like 3mm thick too.

Yup// It comes with a nice wrench but its kind of cumbersome to use.
Oh and btw... I got my DE kit today .. YEAH! Oh its so pretty !

Bought both cars used...

The wrench apparently disappeared.:rolleyes:
I went ahead and made one.
I'll post a picture later.

2.6mm

There you go john, it finally showed up!! get to work!! I am going to run my car friday for the first time, then head down sunday to another track, so we will see how it goes. should be the bomb, the car is the bomb

Ha ha ! I've been working on it all day. had to pirate some parts off a donor car but I wiring it now. Okay okay... Back to work!:tire::tire::tire::tire:

where are the picks. What parts did you have to use? Why? Make it clean i will post some more pics from the track. My install was pretty clean, just trying to figure a way to put my transponder to make it look clean.

My transponder is going to be on top of the servo.
I know the wires need work.
Can't get the pics offa my phone....

just dont show us the square wheel wells:lol:

oh you better believe!!!! y'all are going to get the square wheels lol dont worry. And corns name will be under mine on the results! haha

Here's a picture of the 2.6mm turnbuckle wrench I made.

Finally .... pics off the cell.

:p

Looks sweet, John...!

What's with the motor wires?:D

Everything about that car is CG.
No ,lol not cover girl!
Just figured it would be that much lower with the wires routed like that.
I didn't feel there was enough room in the right side by the pinion for the blue one to go there too. The sensor wires are in there as well. This chassis is screaming for a Novak Ballistic motor !!! I ran it today only once and after the race Wednesday night but what a car.
2deg camber
35wt associated oil
K factory #21 front and #26 rear springs.
direct drive spool. Blue Jaco Prism premounts.
The word for today is BALANCE.
Please make a note of it.;)
My 416 is getting converted to VTA :lol::lol::lol:

Anyone intersted I have a brand new never ran DE level 3 e4rs for sale. Pm me for more info

Dude ! Don"t sell it ! Mine drove so well its getting a mod motor.
Very very very well mannered car. very predictable and smooth as glass. No wonder Dave won ! I love this car ..... Thanks Wolf for fixing what ailed a great car. I bet Team Magic is miffed about your version being WAY better than the last one I got.

Do you guys have good setup of the following..? After almost 1.5 years collecting dust, I think I need to open up all 3 NIB E4RS E4FS and E4 whatever S that is and run outdoor and some indoor foams...

Any good rubber tires outdoor parking lot racing 13.5/17.5 (possible RCGT class)?

Any good rubber tires indoor carpet racing 13.5/17.5?

Any good foam tires indoor carpet racing 13.5/17.5?

Thanks....

[QUOTE=John St.Amant;5897014]Awesome...thanks.

Now...anyone has one for OUTDOOR parking lot..? Prefer 13.5 kinda speed...thanks

Howard,

You have PM.

[QUOTE=Solara;5897063]Wolf tells me his car works everywhere he goes.
Without changing more than just tires.
I'd give a go like what I listed previously.
Any motor... any surface... indoors or not.
:D

[QUOTE=John St.Amant;5897219]I thought in this world, only Tamiya TA05R/IFS-R is the only car that can do 1 setup and use it for indoor carpet, outdoor parking lot and foams without doing setup change...LOL

Thanks...

Thanks for the setup, you sure that is not your typical "RAIN" setup right..? We American here cannot afford to fix wet speedo, wet lipo and wet brushless motor LOL
