Are you sure the ride height, droop, and tires are right? Mid and exit corner speed/stability has been phenomenal with this setup. I've had the rear diff out a couple times when getting on the power aggressively just before mid corner but have never felt it want to come around unless I was out of the groove (all bets are off then). I actually prefer 5/5/5 over the 5/5/4 I'm running right now at Revelation but I havent had a chance to race it anywhere else yet. Wanted to head down to Heritage for the Sidewinder race but truck registration is due and I've spent a small fortune this month on RC.
Edit: currently running Mugen oils (5/5/4) but have no idea how they compared to the kit supplied 5/5/5 that I was running prior so it may not be a fair assessment. |
Does anyone know of the d812 bodys fit the nb48 I have the ability to get a few of the proline bulldog bodies.

The FTW body is a nice one to consider too if those don't work out for you. Really happy with mine. http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps8df62eeb.jpg http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t...psd4262a56.jpg http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t...psdc809d44.jpg |
Ive seen those pics of your car I must say I agree that looks sweet. Hopefully the d812 bull dog body fits.

http://www.hobbypeople.net/index.php...v-2100mah.html As for the clutch, using the 34mm Werks 4 shoe clutch on the buggy and truggy. You will need to put some shims between the front bearing and collet to move the clutch forward. |

I use this one for both my buggy and truggy.

So, here is another one sort of bug report.
Issue: new (revised) tank can be cracked causing pressure problems and therefore tuning issues. Crack is so small and located in unobvious place making pressure test close to impossible. How to repeat: side impact slightly above pipe line where most stress is taken by the outer rear fuel line clip. Result: screw holding clip causes crack of the tank body starting from the screw' hole. Major issue is about unstable nature of this damage: with body off and clip aligned well there is vrtually no pressure leak. With body on it applies some force to the clip, and not so soft landings temporary increases this force. While buggy is being upside down force is high enought to remove all pressure from the system and cause flameout. But when you take tank off and decide to make leak test, you remove clips and screws also. or at least don't apply force to that rear outer clip, therefore silly drivers with weak lungs don't have a chance to detect this leak. Workaround: mount this clip facing rear left wheel or/and apply some material betwwen tank sidewall and clip. Hope this will help. First. Fuel clip is mounted as per manual: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...8/IMG_9001.JPG Its obvious that body can transmit impact force thru itself to that clip i.e. during upside down landing on the pipe, causing cracks like i've. Second pic. Fuel clip facing rear wheel: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...8/IMG_9002.JPG Even during hard crashes clip doesn't act as support for body, so no stress goin' to tank in such configuration. Body is stock, and i have no idea how it looks with FTW body. |
I have a question regarding Mo's setup.
I am not familiar with Losi clutch setups, so do the 2 carbon shoes go on the heavier clutch springs or the lighter clutch springs? Or does it not matter? Thanks |
I keep the heavier spring on the carbons when I run them but I'm not a fan and prefer the stock shoes all the way around right now.

Vandalzzz, I know you said it was the new revised tank but from the pictures that looks like the old tank, this could be your main problem if you are cracking the tank. -Thomas |
