Like I said, I suggest you go and research roll centres on the web, and you'll find your note book wrong. And just to make it easier... go here (http://users.telenet.be/elvo/), click suspension, and then go to page 3..

Oh, and bear in mind (something you've forgotten) those pictures are of the car without any load... so obviously the inner link is in a different place to the outer... when the suspension compresses under load (i.e. you put it on the track) the relationship between inner and out stud changes, even in a static condition. With the car sitting on wheels on the table, the inner stud is lower than the outer one... simples.

But usual story, you won't listen to anyone...

Hi Guys,

I have just received a kit this morning

cant wait to check it out.

Just a quick question, what would be a good weight of oil to fit in the gear diff? would 5k be better to get the power down with a 13.5?

Cheers

AussieRevo , you might be better to ask on the Aussie F1 thread , regarding the HobbyWing setup.
If it were mine , I would start at 50mm rollout and go up from there. (using a temp gun every two minutes )
At a guess, you might end up near 60mm , since you have the torque of zero can timing .....
I'm going to start at 50mm with my HW 13t mini combo.

Can't wait for Saturday!

We took some CF wrap and some resin and then used a heat gun to cure and stopped breaking front arms even with my terrible driving! PS- boiling seems to help as well.

Carbon Fiber wrap ? Where can I buy some ?
I tried brass wire ( I have since been told to use piano wire ) and shoe gooed it to the bottom of each arm, top and bottom arms... no breaks all weekend...

I think the trick is the adhesive has to have flex... friend of mine tried a hard drying epoxy and it would just snap apart when you bend it...

I have a Rabbit kit that allows a 104 front end coming from China, but just found out yesterday that this would eliminate the cool scale drop down front nose ... I don't think I can do that...

Is the breakage on the front arms, the wide or narrow section or both? Don't want to add too much weight.

I am just running 21.5 but I like 10k diff lube much better than what came in the kit. Seems to help it rotate around the tight infield sections more effeciently. Also ran 7k but its a little too much rotation.
