Manti,
How's your Nova MAX going?

Manticore

havent run it yet, i need to move on to a bigger track to test the engine

RClover

send it over..i'll do free for you as we have BIG tracks here..

shot me some pix, external and internal as well..

EVOLUTION

Why,isn't your 60 metre track good enough,or do you need one like this?

Manticore

it would be nice to run on a track like that! but in general, I prefer a technical track. tigher is always better

Manticore

engine tunning is a holy mission for me ! i dont need WD40 or KY !

EVOLUTION

I hear that wd40 also makes a good traction compound for the tight tracks!!!

Manticore

that's true !

RClover

a can of coke will do the all the traction job for me..

The diaphram is not there to pust the shaft back out, if it does this your shocks are built wrong. the diaphram is there to allow the movement of oil as the pshock shaft moves into the shock. if the piston/rod is forced out when compressed then there is resistance when you compress the shock giving inconsistent settings

i am not sure what's the role of diaphragm in a shock, but i notice the shocks does not extend fully (w/o springs on) when i compress it after seeing the diaphragm were popped-in.

so are shocks shaft supposed to extend fully automatically after i applied force to it?

I built the shocks according to the manual but i am afraid i'd missed out some important steps. Pls do a quick run through of the shock building steps, will ya'? thanks

What i did is take the unuse center piece of that body form and place it in the diaphragms. It's been consistence to me, especially on "not-that-very-smooth" track.

Manticore

the original purpose of the diaphram is for volume compensation just like what cartman said. However, the tension of the diaphram has become tuning tool. you need to be cautious on equal internal pressure of left/right shocks. if your car's handling become weir suddenly especially in the rear, it could have been one of the diaphrams either left or right shock has deformed which causes unequal pressure and rebounce.

what % fuel should u use when breaking in a engine is 18 % ok

ROBBIE C

10 to 20 percent is ok
