Not this year, maybe next, no $$$, no 12th.

Pro10 with 17.5 sounds interesting for this old man.

Anyone know if there are any options for retaining the battery via o-ring or something other than tape? Perhaps the Roche plate?

I have some in work. Stay tuned

There is a small hole on the side plate.. Drill out and install a 3mm button head screw on the bottom and hook your rubber band around it. You might want to glue the edges of the carbon before drilling to keep from splitting..

This is what I did on my F6. I used to run CRC cars back in the day. So I have gotten used to the O-ring retainer.

I'm having the EXACT same problem, and I beg to differ with MattW's assessment. My shock is built exactly to instructions (which does not include the white spacer under the piston) and the shock is 3.1-3.2mm too long (almost exactly 1/8"). Referring to the shock length chart, this setup is described as the "kit setup" which is the longest shock of the four options at 80.2mm with the extension installed and no spacer. The remaining three options should all be shorter than this, various combinations of insalling the spacer and/or removing the extension.

At first I figured I hadn't bottomed the shaft into the shock rod end, but having taken it apart twice now and re-installed it the length remains the same. The only solution I can think of is to shave 3mm off the length of the lower eyelet, but can't help think that's a Band Aid solution.

Help?

I ignore the manual on shock length and just adjust the shock to get it to the hole I want to run and the droop I want.

i had the same problem you did with the shock length built per manual. just build the shock with all the parts and the insert. its much easier to get appropriate droop this way around 1.5mm measured with touring car droop blocks.
i also had to shim the shock mount and opposing ball up 2mm to fit my 510r lol. took a bit of monkeying to get all the stuff in the middle of the car.

New owner and new to 1/12 scale. Just finishing up the build and have a few questions. I have read Mark Paynes page and it's helped a lot. I just have a few small queries.

> Any way to know what the correct tension of the rear hubs are? I put a piece of paper between the hub and the bearing and it still feels kinda tight.

> I'm assuming I have to cut off the extra piece of plastic on the front hubs? I hand placed a rim on there and it's rubbing.

> any advice on centering the front servo? I have it spot on, by eye... but I want it to be perfect. I'm running a KO PDS 951

> is the kimbrough servo saver good enough to use? I have a CRC carbon fiber servo dave backing plate that I can add to it. (The supplied servo saver happens to fit my servo, as well)

> the manual calls to use the center battery placement location, but it makes the battery float. So I used the 'rear' battery position and the battery fits snugly. Is this ok?

> my kingpin shims were in a different bag. Also, the caster shims were missing.

Thank you, guys. Great car. Super easy and smooth build.

Rear hubs just a ever so small touch of side play. Just so you can barely feel it.

I cut my steering knuckles for the same reason.

I just eyeball the servo and then measure it with calipers.

Kimbrough has worked fine for me. I normally use X-ray but it doesn’t fit well on this rig.

Battery back is what I always run for better weight transfer and more steering.

You can use motor rotor shims for caster shims.

Roche also makes aluminum ones that are nice.

Here is a great servo setup system for pan car

Kimbrough is too soft and won't give you the steering you want. Go with Tamiya for the servo saver. As good as the x-ray but fits...

Battery placement will depend on the steering that you want in the car. I use a more forward position on black carpet.. just tape it in it will stay in place

Are there quick ways to remove the black and blue anno from the parts? Or is it just elbow grease?
Also, Is it possible the chassis could warp from poishing?

Thanks for any suggestions.

You can get anodizing remover from an anodizing shop online. Just be careful if you leave it on too long it’ll eat the metal component down.
