Robert... I was able to pick up some 1 million weight diff oil for the front diff. Is this enough for Valkaria. That is all I could find......

I'm pretty sure you mean 1,000,000 CST - not 1,000,000 weight...

1,000,000 CST is roughly 25K WT right?

I should have my car tomorrow, looking forward to tearing it down and building it back up . I should be able to test it on Wednesday.

Drew is that an xray servo saver ?

Servo saver is a must unless your a high roller and like to replace servo gears often haha

Got the car took it apart and rebuilt it with aluminum chassis and titanium screws and now it's ready to go. The only thing I didn't like about it is the fact that it comes built ( not a real issue but I'd rather not have to take it apart in order to build it again ). I bought 2 gear diffs for the front ( 1 with 1 million , 1 with 2.5 million ) and it's very nice they come with extra o-rings and gaskets. Overall pretty happy with the build and quality of the kit.

Ryan,

You will be very happy with this car. I can place the car where I want to.

I actually like the fact that the roller is pre-built. It's easier to tear down a car and rebuild what you want to. One views how the car is built.....every car has little nuances...

Two things to note....make sure to use the little shock tool when rebuilding the shocks.

I added two small spacers approx. 4 mm under the rear graphite battery holder. This keeps the battery In place better.

I also keep the front battery screws at a constant and adjust the rear screws as it is easier to get to from the rear. I am referring to the horizontal screws.

Im at 1391 with almost full titanium screws, floating servo mount, aluminum chassis, light weight ltc-r body, low pro Savox servo, hobbywing just stock with fan, fantom ion 5 17.5, fantom 6100 2s lipo, transponder, and 30mm wtf fan. I could probably shave a few more grams when I trim the body posts and shorten the wires on the esc and servo. I need to move the battery out a little to get it balanced but it's about ready to go.

What is a good pinion to spur gear ration for VTA on this chassis.

You can also move the motor inboard.

I had a club run with my MTS stock car today. Very hot track so traction was an issue. I only entered the finals but had some very quick and promising runs. Being low grip I decided to set the motor up to rev and geared at 4.6 FDR with timing set at "6" ( about 5.8-5.9 actually) on the TP Actinium. It was virtually a kit setup with silver springs on shocks in the 3rd hole. I'm going to try a "Porta" designed chassis that's been also modified and cut by Paul Sims at Bezerk RC

He'll also draw up standard and modified top decks and shock towers to suit any shock combo for the car.

I've also got some DCJ and floating steering on their way and will be trying out harder xray plastics on the car and I'm fabricating some upper a-arms similar to Awesomatix.
