YOU CANNOT REMOVE THE TRIANGLE THING

the shockbodies do NOT have a uniform inner diameter. they are bigger at the bottom.
you have to put the plastic things back in

use the old bd shocktower not the masami one.

if you need additionals travel use ss or the new shock bodies, but this is not needed if you use the old shocktower.

do not put something above the bladder. try using the tamiya diaphragm. they fit better and do not get bigger because of the oil.

thanks Martin ill re-check the build of the shock. i was not getting much droop out of the shock and thats why i took out the triangle piece.

John Pape

You need to cut the triangle piece in half then put it in upside down.
Also the shock tower from the standard car is better, you should not need to use the Masami tower, its quite alot higher than the standard and not really suitable for the shock angles droop settings and ride height we run here.
Rarely do we run o o rings above the diafram, you only need to run them when you need the car to hold up better in the corner, ie high speed track.

thanks John

funny thing is.....the problem came from the front shocks not the back. this was from when i bought the car on rctech. ill see when i rebuild them.

would 40/35 oil weight combo give me similar balance as 45/40? i don't have 45w oil to hand and i see many setups using the 45/40 combo.


great help, thanks

When you guys say don't use the Masami tower, is that simply because of ride height and droop? Or handling characteristics too? If it is handling too, what sort of differences are there?

Martin Hofer

it's just because of the fact that the shocks do not fit with this shocktower installed if you use more than 3mm rideheight

You can use it but need to get the updated shock body that works without the triangle peices. You will not get proper ride height using the stock shock bodies not unless you cut the triangle peices down like previously posted.

Well I do use it and I don't have any problems getting ride height or droop, probably because I run my shocks on the inner most hole of the tower, but I also find I get more bite and traction doing this.
But yea I do agree that most of the holes except the 2 or 3 closest to the inside you can't get enough ride height.

i had a CVD failure at the track today. the pin that holds it together parted company with the axle during the race. on the end of the shaft there are 4 holes whick the pin fits into, 2 of these holes are now broken open. would this affect the performance of the CVD if i get back a pin?

what is the best next step now? contact TiR or do someone had spare pins?

whats a good 'quick fix'? i was goin the cut a piece of body pin to use as a pin. any other ideas?

whats a good replacement for TiR?



please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone have a fixed spool setup to share with please. What are the important notes when compare to the double oneways setup? THX.

Just run your current set up and put a fixed pulley and front spool. the major difference is you will get a little less steering coming into corners but you have brakes. You will probably start changing set ups to gain more steering off power.

Heres one for the Yok experts. When do you guys use the higher hinge pin position on the front and Rear hubs?
