So anyone try a slotted rotor up front with the stock carbon rear?

makes sense. There is no way to dial out some rear brake on eTruggy. However assuming eTruggy or any eBuggy that uses the motor for braking had 50 / 50 brakes. I've heard several people say they like running 30% f / 70% r brake bias and with that bias aren't having problems do you'd think 50/50 on my truggy would be a non issue. ...a little off topic.

if you run like that is because you WANT to have the rear of the car slide, probably to easily make 180° turns

The best way to get the car to over steer ( when the rear of the car slides into a corner) Is to use the throttle. Brakes should only be used to slow the car into the corner. Once your into the turn that's when you should start to apply the throttle which will bring the rear end out. This is the fastest way to get through a turn. In my opinion you need more bias up front because when the brakes are applied weight is transferred to the front and that's where you have more traction which in turn will slow the car down more efficiently. Just my 2 cents

Hahaha! ur rite who needs brakes! The only reason I run brakes is for car correction in the air! To be honest, I really dont want to run brakes but how else can I really control the car in the air ya know? kinda sux but....

There's a very good reason for that; the front brakes do up to about 70% of total braking force on asphalt in a car, or up to 100% on a bike, when the rear wheel is just dancing in the air, skipping along the ground. It's somewhat less on dirt but even for cars it's about 60%ish.

On a different topic, I agree that getting on the throttle as soon as one enters a corner is definitely the fastest way around a track. Look at how WRC rally drivers technique allows them to be on the gas as soon as they've entered a turn. The overriding principle is 'slow in, fast out' which means to slow as much as is needed such that one can get on the gas within about the first quarter of the way through the turn or even better, as soon as one is in a turn. Look at any form of motorsport where traction is at a premium and this is always the fastest way around. The drivers and riders aren't trying to get the highest corner speed because they don't have the traction to do so, therefore slow in fast out is always faster.

When I say "traction is at a premium" I'm referring to most everything other than say, F1 or similar where they have such huge aero that even if they wanted to, drifting or being on the extreme edge of traction through a corner isn't so quick because the vehicle is controlled so much by the aero that they can attain and search for high corner speed. This is similar in the old 125cc and 250cc GP bikes in that they couldn't overpower the rear traction so they had to keep the highest corner speed possible. But for us, where we have so little grip on the driving surface, same as rally or motocross or (to an extent) MotoGP bikes, the fastest guys are all using the same or very similar technique which is slow in fast out.

Just my $0.02 but so many World Champions agree and have written books on driving/riding technique (of which I've read several and used to race motocross myself) so there must be something to it.

Prototype front shocks and tower look interesting, looks to be right in between the stock equipment and running the rear shocks up front with the tall tower (Which ive always wanted to try)
Shock angle is more vertical. Black collar is different too.

Same as EU tower setup

Different shock length.

Really? Coz they look like medium length shock bodies in the middle in the pic. Do you know what length they are in mm?

LosiPRRACER

pretty sure the EU tower is slightly taller then the new one.
The eu tower used the rear tki3 shocks.

New shocks is supposed to use a middle ground between front length and rear length creating a new shock length.

just from the research ive done.

mourinho

Thats my understanding.

occidio

and what is the advantage of the new and longer shocks?

What about the carrying handle of the EU? How are you supposed to comfortably carry your car around... by the wing?
