Dp you have a great memory. I just rebuilt the car and replaced the plates with a new set that I had and they are tweaked just like you said. Ill put the old ones back on and check it out. I know Im trying to turn an old piece into a diamond but this thing is fast when its working. Especially with the AE ft end on it its awesome. It carries speed through the corner thats unbelieveable.The old ft end to it was a mess as sson as you looked at it it got all tweaked out of shape and had to be straightened every time I ran it. I got my eye on a new car but wanted to get this one straightened out before it sits on the backup car shelf.

I just put a Quantum 2 in my Carpet Knife 3.1. What settings should I start out with? I don't have a clue where to start.

Hey guys, I have this great new idea that Ive been kicking around with the Pro10 guys, and I didnt want to leave you out of the mix: http://www.rctech.net/forum/showthre...threadid=33411

here is what I have come up with:

Pro10 6 cell stock
Pro10 4 cell 19t
pro10 6 cell mod (no motor limit)
Pro10 6 cell touring/gt1 (tamiya f103LM will be in this class)
Pro12 4 cell stock
Pro12 4 cell 19t
Pro12 4 cell mod (again no motor limit)
Pro12 6 cell stock

That sound like a good list?

Speedie - Didn't you say that another person in your group had the same problem at the same location on the track? If so, I suggest raising the car for it might be catching the track surface in that spot. Rock on!

It just seems to do it whenever it wants to. The car was tracking to the left as the new pod plated are off a little I put the old ones back in and it does the same thing. It doesnt do it all of the time tho. about 50 percent of the time.

Check all of the parts that align the rear pod to the chassis. (Not sure if you have a t-plate or a pivot ball car)

Any deterioration of the mounting holes on the t-plate or pivot ball sockets or chassis holes for the pivot ball screws can cause a miss-alignment in the rear pod.

Same goes for the pivot ball car, just different parts.

Sorry to say - but you might need a new chassis if one of the holes is in any way oblong.

To those guys that are using Ko PDS-947FET digital servo, does your servo buzzes at neutral? Does it stay buzz at neutral? Because I'm not sure if mine is ok or not, it sometimes buzz at neutral and sometimes it doesn't. I'm using the new Ko PDS-949ICS by the way...

I know digital servo buzz...

my sanwa erg-wrx servo does the same thing, i think its got something to do with the hrs and the responsiveness of it.....it doesnt cause any problems.

Default Old Skool Front End

Put one on my carpet knife last night, I LOVE IT. Consistant and easier for me to drive. Its a keeper. I did add a 2 dagree castor shim for a little more stability.

I take it you mean the white wheels? I've given up on Jaco for now and gone to TRC, despite the yellow wheels. I like the fact that the wheels seem to be made of a better plastic, plus, I like the multi-compound tires.

i am going to use the CRC Track Magnets next time. they too seem to be made of a much stronger plastic. the inner rim where the bearing sits is twice as thick as the Jacos. $20 for new rims everytime i hit a board or get clipped is absurd. no one else at my track runs Jaco and now i know why.
