hi,
something to enquire about belt tensioner (rear); it can be mounted either on the bottom (stock) or top (carbon plate)...

so...which one is better? or is there any difference at all?

razzor

On the G4S the tensioner mounts on teh chassis and on the older G4/Mongoose it mounts on the carbon brace.
The tensioner on the chassis is a better option as its not on the load side so takes up the flack on the belt.

Pre-building of the steering blocks is a new feature of the G4 kit. They are pre-assembled but are not in "Ready-to-run" condition when you get them. They do this so as driver's/builders can tighten down the pivot ball nut to apply as much, or as little play in the pivot ball joint as they like. Some top drivers have a fare amount of play in this are so as to have as little friction as possible. (Enhances very quick steering and used by drivers with quick reflexes and those that drive aggresively!!)
Others like myself and a fare few others I know, like to have very little or no play in this area! But has been said, try to keep the friction down to a minimum. It will really "sap" the power from your steering servo and hence your battery pack!
Usually, tight pivot ball assembly is used by top drivers who tend to be very smooth drivers. It allows more sensativity from the car to the driver.

It is NOT a quality problem as was suggested! It's done to help us when assembling the car !!

Of course its not.
I recognized my mistake 1 page up.
And yes it is exactly as u said.
Also the tranceiver problem is related to nomadio tranceiver size and its not something TM is responsible of. I have a spectrum receiver on the way...

Bottom line is, if u have to drink during the assembly of your kit, choose the drink wisely....

ok I need a few suggestions I am running on the tightest track you could imagine with a short straight and I am running my g4s with ed trans front solid axle what would be a good gearing to run on this type of track? also this track has limited grip as I am running 37 front and rear grps.thanks.

the shortest possible gearing is 15/52 and 20/47, then work on your clutch settings from there to be able to get the power down.

thanks Paul thats what I am running now to get the power down would that be tightning the spring or loosening at the moment I am running the blue spring with thread about a mm inside the nut thanks for your help.

razzor

If you using the blue spring then id suggest getting a black 1.8mm spring or better yet the Mugen hard spring and remove one of the weights in the flyweight shoes.
When setup right this como works well.
To help the car accelerate better you could also run smaller tyres around 62-60mm but be careful of wear.

I got the black spring there so I will swap it with the round nut screwed down whats a good start point/how far screwed down?keep in mind I need quick ecceleration
cheers!

razzor

id say .5 - 1mm max to start with or better yet go flush and adjust a quater turn at a time but make sure it doesnt slip.
