In the first picture, it looks like he has change nothing since the EC. I'd love to know how he managed to shoehorn the receiver into the small RX box, although I know I could do the same with my Spektrum micro, but I'd not like the tighter fit result in the wiring, and I'm not sure I could put the transponder in the RX bx then either. It's interesting that I'm preping my car for the first club meet of the year (though that could be a while if it keeps raining like it has), two things I have done that is still on Robs car, one is replace the inner rear top links with steering ones (cause the short ones don't give enough reach with a long link setup), and last night I was grinding a hole in the top deck, cause where Rob ran his battery wire is seriously the best place for it. |

I saw the carbon fiber bits, but to be honest I don't think they are for what you think they are, I don't see any evidence on the car of where they would go, or for that matter how a carbon fiber part of that shape would work as a brace for where your likely thinking of...
And to be honest, as full factory driver and designer of the car, if we saw some type of brace sitting there, it would surely be something a lot neater as some type of factory prototype part. What threw me when I went looking at the rest of the pics, was their tyre truer, like some crazy early 3-Racing prototype or much butchered unit... :eek: Edit: I'm actually more interested in seeing the better pics of the new Protoform body he is testing, one of the pics confirm the pic he posted on facebook was of a PF body, and it looks kind of awesome... |

What is that bit of carbon fibre on the pit towel?
Bishop, that carbon fibre thing looks like a makeshift brace. It would be hella stiff if it is! My money is on mugen releasing an optional rear cross brace.:nod: |

Fresh clean up, few new bits fitted, just about ready for it's next outing, with a tucked away transponder but still running plastic diff gears, the only thing I forgot to put on the scales for the picture I took was the INS box, though the tyres for the weight check did still have some usable foam left on them, and I'm running a fairly old pipe (Mugen), and probably a heavier engine (N12T1)...
It's certainly a light car with no serious effort needed to get it that way, and considering there is no titanium on it, and a heavy weight shell with a fair bit of paint (heavy 3 colour coverage), I imagine if you ever did need one to make the EFRA 1550g craziness, it should not be all that hard to do. So seriously, YBSlow brass engines mounts, I need you... |

Actually at some point I'll have to put some of the rubber belts on mine, I know on the old 4, common word was urethane belts lasted a lot longer, and were just more durable, but then the 4 also was hard on the belts, with no history on the five, maybe it's going to be easier on belts... |
try a few things

1. Remove the side belt and see if its freer 2. Roll it on a bench while holding the rear up and the again with the rear held up by hand. Are your bearings new? ie do they have grease in them ? or oil? if they are new and fill with grease it will take a bit of running until they free up. or pop of the seals and clean and oil them. the only other thing i did here is the brake disk is a bit tight on the drive hex and this will cause the shoes to rub just a bit the plastic hex need a slight rub with some wet and dry. Not sure if it will help, but it raining here and there’s not much else to do. :D Steve H |

Hi mate you might want to try a few things to see where its tight then you can look closer at the front or the rear as need be :).
