DaRaceMasta

some great set ups you can pick up from drivers here in sydney or through the Liverpool radio rally car club...

still sticking with this brand as the buggy itself has proven to be a solid car in its own right... spoken from personal experience and seeing some really aggressive driving from my mate peter.. coming in the top 3 spots in races and barnabi winning over seas in spain.. etc.. driven by skilled & experienced drivers like Martin Wolhunter.

engine is a SR21 from soar racing.. and i didnt get a chance to race it as i bought a second engine so you can get this with the car or on its own for $160ono.

Soar 998 is set and ready to rip.. cleaned after every meeting.. has done well and only run 5-10meets... hardly raced .. only $250 ono for a quick sale..

will be getting my new set up for the proline.. so heres your chance for a bargain buy ..

Has anyone had an issue with breaking front shock shafts?
I have snapped 3 in 2 weeks, all where the thread meets the shaft, they seem very weak or a bad batch.
It hasn't broken anything else, not arms or even bent drive shafts. so it can't be from a hard hit. maybe an arkward landing??
Seem very weird to me. Will look for another brand of the same length. i believe they are 3.5 x 60mm shafts?

Cheers

If the shock rods are produced too hard, they will snap...too soft they will fold
You could limit at least a bit the front droop I guess, as it is steep against the rear one
do not leave it all the way down

Yep, reduced the droop after the 1st one snapped... I would think that would pop the caps off, if anything.

just hit up ash and or soar and ask them to send you a pack.. it does happen.. but the newest kits shouldnt have that happen often... i have been crashing a good amount and have not broken one set of shafts since new.. so.. it isnt all that common..

and i have put it to the crash test so..

happy driving other wise?

Hello drivers I have had the chance to drive the car and it has been good. I had a few practice days with it at Revelation Raceway and posted a video of my car on Youtube. The build for the car was nice and no need for dremel work for any fitting. The car has good stability and has good corner speed,from my other buggy it looks slower in the corner to me but when I see my times my pace and speed is better. My setup on the car for the shocks goes different from my other buggy as the 998 likes thicker oils to work with the suspension and dampens well when landing the jump and continuing on to the corner. The car also had a good amount of free wheel spin from the kit bearings and feels light in the hands so i need to weight it to make sure it makes the JBRL rules for AZ next race at Fear Farm. the radio tray is nice and requires a little push and shove to get my Savox servos in but once in they aren't going anywhere even if a screw backs out, the battery and receiver box have a good amount of room as I have put my PT and Recvr inside. So I will report on here to let you know on the car and it performance here in the states, I will also be getting cars here to sell in the next few weeks and when I do, I will have an FB page and you also PM here if needed.

Hey R2 thanks for the indepth on the car an all.. glad to hear that you enjoy the car and excited to hear that the USA will get their taste of the 998 good and proper so to speak.. as the 2015ed has done well in its current form.. and a great looking car it is.. ill be updating my set up in the near future, and im keen to set up a one stop rc shop online inc. at track supply perhaps inc.. parts for the 998 will see..

Bet all soar drivers wish they were all in Spain. Still a fantastic gesture from the company and now the old buggy for spares
