Excuse my ignorance but what does "35 degree" mean? Does that refer to the compound of the foam?

Refers to the hardness of the foam compound used, some would refer to it as a "shore" rating. Hope that helps.

Steering travel is not limited but it comes close <1mm to the rpm rod ends on full turn but has not rubbed yet. I would go staggered with front - 31.5mm / rear - 44.5mm (width) if ordering again.


I do prefer the foams over the banditos. They roll smoother, recover better and the car feels planted on the road.

That definitely helps. I was about to ask another pretty basic question but I just googled it. For anyone else who wants to get up to speed on foam tires, I found this very helpful: http://www.nitrorc.com/articles/foamtires/default.asp

Right on. I'll order some tires soon and hopefully dust my buddy on the tennis courts .

👍 change out your shock oil to a heavier weight as well, im using losi 70wt f/r. I would also recommend the sway bar kit, it's a nice addition and really helps decrease body roll.

Cool. Have you reduced the droop at all? I read earlier in the thread that that really reduces traction rolling with the rally car. Maybe not so much of an issue with the truggy though.

DETHRONE

Yes, limiting your droop will help keep the front down during acceleration and keep the rear down when braking. It simply limits the amount of downward travel of the suspension so the car stays lower and maintains its "roll center". Get your ride height set and camber/toe adjusted then limit the droop.


Here is a tekno setup guide, some good info on suspension

The A5060 version of this servo looks like same dimensions, this a direct drop into the stock mounts too?

Hello all,

Just got the truggy today. I was driving it in the street fast and the buggy hit an area where the gutter meets the street, which I didn't notice was there. The truggy flew in the air high, did numerous cartwheels and hit the street hard several times as it was cartwheeling across the street. Now when i accelerate fast, the truggy turns hard towards the right and pretty much does a 180 with the tires skidding. If i break hard it also turns hard to the right, pretty much doing a 180 turn. The hard right turning does not happen at lower speeds. I checked the truggy and did not see any broken parts. I took the servo horn off and checked the servo and it appears to turn fine. Steering links and rods appear fine. All wheels turn and stop at the same time when i run it with the wheels off the ground. Any advice you can offer me on what to check would be appreciated. I am a newbie to RC's and was thinking of taking it to my LHS but they don't carry this brand so I don't know how familiar they will be with this car.

Quicrun 16BL30 esc is done, so I upgraded to the Max10. The LC is killing it on 3s and totally exceeding my expectations. I drive the LC more than my ET410 and MT410 combine 🤣

Wow, that surprises me! Nothing against the LC but I drove an EB410 at a clay track last week and it was an absolute blast. Very nimble, yet easy to drive. I assume the ET410 is similar. The EMB-T is great too, but it gets out of control a lot more easily so you really have to stay on top of it.

How do you like that Max10? I was thinking about getting one when I saw that it's the cheapest HW ESC that allows you to update the firmware. But I was turned off by the fact that you can't adjust timing or cutoff voltage (at least not to a specific voltage like 3.4V/cell).

DETHRONE

The ET410 is amazing, im mostly enjoying the size of the LC because I do a lot of neighborhood driving. I clocked my ET410 at 51mph on 3s with the bigger max10 sct esc and 3200kv and I dare to say the LC is just as fast if not faster with the max10 and stock 4500kv.

The max10 is definitely an upgrade, smoother all around with better punch.

This is how I understand LVC for this esc.
3.2 - Low
3.4 - Med
3.6 - High

My ET410 - Speed run at the end.

Nice! What's the length of that motor you've got in the ET410? Looks like a monster. As for the LVC on the Max10, where did you find those numbers? If they can be confirmed I'll seriously consider getting one. On my other HW ESCs, 3.4V/cell is the highest they go, which is no good for lipos with low IRs.
