Alf :)

Nice!
Maybe you could show us what is going on inside??? Or is that top secret? What is the main purpose for building them?

I tried to use lube on the kingpins but as soon as the suspension compresses, the ball pushes all the lube sown towards the spring. So what am I doing wrong? Cheers guys.

dont use the alm saddles
use the plastic or graphite ride hight spacer
iv only have broke one arm before

and on the lube thing it makes reaction faster but takes so steering away.
it not really a big deal on the whole setup thing of the car
rear springs and tube lube thickness and shock are more important.
have a play on this :)
white springs
30000 tube lube
20wt oil in shock
red or copper spring
50 front spring
brace with long upper ball
purple front pink rear
170 rear track
167.5 front track

oh and iv never had a problem with the crc ceramic bearings, very nice

Wally I am going to try your setup this weekend.
What is your ride height and do you run you battery forward or back?
Thanks

That's just excess lube getting pushed down. There will still be lube on the kingpin giving you some dampening.

Here everybody keeps coming back to the Komodo Dragon. Seems the best combination of torque vs. rpm for our racing.

protc3 11-22-2007 10:35 AM

same here. The KD is a strong motor

SRW141 11-22-2007 10:59 AM

KD for me also

wallyedmonds 11-22-2007 12:47 PM

brushed KD but with the right tuning and roll out the dynasty is good too.

While we’re on the subject of 19T motors, how are people setting up Money Motors for 1/12th?

At the moment it’s setup as it came out of my TC, Infinity brushes, std spring neg and hard spring pos. Are you generally supposed to run lighter springs in a 1/12th car?

Cheers

Just curious guys...

I was wondering if anyone has run a CRC pro strut front end with a laydown servo? When I line up everything correctly the outside tire doesnt seem to move that much at all and there is a crazy amount of ackerman.

I've just noticed that everyone on the team runs the pro strut front end with the angled servo mounts... so maybe this will correct this problem... I'm just experimenting around with stuff right now and wanted to see what others thought.

Hey Korey,

Last time i spoke with gerber jr. we were talking about that. Ithink that the turnbuckles are run shorter on the prostrut than on the AE. He said where they mount to the steering blocks is outside the wheel which would make it difficult to take ackerman out of that geometry. I havent seen it in person yet. But i would imagine if this is correct than the angled mounts would be ideal for that setup:cool:
