running thicker diff is like running a spool I think it gives the car a better feel at least for me!
it will give the car a slight push exiting the corner on throttle but really good turn in off throttle
it has a lot to do with droop setting as well and how aggressive you drive

If you want a cap clutch for your NT1 you want this one, http://www.capricornrc.com/capricorn...d_product=1773



And cap clutches use cap shoes.

when running the blade front arb flat give it 15 degree upward. that will give you a little more turn in.

Anyone know where I can buy this? Also does anyone know of a place that has the option springs for the 13 in stock?

Hey guys, so the 2013 has been out for a while. Serpent, and capricorn also have short , fat body shocks and lower towers.

What have you seen as far as a noticable advantage with this setup compared to the taller shock setup? Or, is it just easier to tune for non pros?

rcmad2700 05-22-2013 02:14 PM

I found the 2013 to be a lot more stable in the tight corners and also a little more in the fast stuff. iam running everything the same as my 2012 kit bar the new shocks and towers. also using the topdeck flex system.
i feel more confident in being able to push the 13 a lot harder befor it bits me back

rec'vr batt
 
dumb question

i'm hopefully going to start racing my nt1 this summer. is it ok to run a lipo batt for a rec battery, 7.4 rec'vr battery, or is that too high of output for the servos? would i need a voltage regulator if i did?

i'm not running Radiopost servos, yet. waiting for them to get back in stock. i think i have an assco 1015 and a hitec in it now???

i have a 6.0 nihm battery in it now, just thinking about upgrading...

thanks for any input

i have been running the 6.6v LIFE battery with new KO Propo RSX servos. I also would like to know why there are 7.4V LIPO receiver packs. The Battery linked below is slightly shorter than what I have so it should fit perfectly in the NT1. Someone please explain the difference between 6.6v and 7.4v. thanks

Most places who sell the silver version are sold out so I assume the orange will be the next stock sent out everywhere. This place has all the available orange parts but are sold out of a lot of stuff now:

just do a google search. its not available yet

The higher the voltage the better the performance from the servos (assuming they can handle it). I run the RSX One10 servos and they are faster and have more torque when running off 7.4v rather than 6.6v:

Torque @6V: 138oz-in, 10.0Kg-cm
Torque @7.4V: 165.6oz-in, 12.0Kg-cm

I also found I had more choice for battery size in the Lipo range so getting a battery that was a good fit for the nitro car was a bit easier.

Regards,

Simon
