You can only use longer pins on the inside. Even when running a one way front I don't reccomend using longer pins.

Hi,

I run 6,5 min with the Max engine and pipe.

For modified engines runtime between 5 and 6,5 mins is normal.
When it´s over tuned you won´t make 5 min on one tank. When the engine isn´t modified you mostly have runtime between 6 and 8 mins.

When you modify the engine yourself try to make the engine capable of driving between 5,5 and 6,5 mins, unless you modify it for a special track.

During the last two races of the Dutch national championship there were Serpent team drivers using the new Mega's.
It had enough power and runtime was impressive, 7,5 min!
They ran it right out of the box.
When they modify this engine you will have an atomic bomb. It´s a bomb allready

Bye Thomas

Default Michael Salven's Car in Brazil !

Did anybody notice the new orange part on the front of his car? I guess it's to make the car heavier.

Exactly...I just read it on mytsn and I have got my hands on some today to use on the weekend.

I am only using the longer pins for the rear, on the diff outdrive sides (left and Right). Will let you know how it goes for wear

I think the orange part is a reactive caster adjustment. So the hinge pin can be positioned flat (normal), tilted forward (less caster when turning) and tilted backward. (correct me if im wrong).

Reactive caster? Hope Julius can enlighten us more on this if it's true indeed.

But looking at the caster setup, he has used very little with the smallest shim (1 mm) in the front of the upper front arm. Obviously to get more turn in.

that might not be a reactive caster adjustment. i've looked more closely and there isnt any adjustment hole visible.

the hinge pin does look tilted forward though.

btw, i'm sure it isnt some eye candy option part. there must be a good reason for using that stuff.

I think Julius said it was to help support the rear body during refuling.

Hey Punisher, what's cooking? Where have you been missing?

Yeah, Mark is correct about the rear additional post. The way they refuel is to grab the cable tie from behind the car through the rear opening of the rear windscreen of the bodyshell with one hand while the other hand refuels with a fuel bottle or fuel gun.

When you grab the car with one hand by picking up the cable tie that connects to the fuel cap, the bottom part of the arm will bend the rear part of the bodyshell. The additional rear post helps the rear part of the bodyshell remain in shape. I think it will also be helpful if you ever get accidently rear ended by somebody else. Prevents the bodyshell from getting stuck under the wheels.

Weight addition is a good enough reason I think... (j/k)
