I suppose i better put my set up on here seems as though i was the one who asked for everyone elses. This is where i'm at so far but i'm still doing some last minute testing/practicing so it may not be my final set up.

I am running the G4+ chassis with the older style arms except for the lower rears.

shock length: 65.25mm
thread length: 5mm

I am using a Futaba 3PM 2.4ghz...



Everyone:

I might have found my problem tonight when i started to disassemble my wreck

Looks like it might have shorted out on either the chassis or the alloy side brace.

I have seen them stretch so to speak, a guy at our local track with an evo3 kept on blowing plugs and after the 3rd plug he checked out the top of the piston and it was clearly hitting the plug, jlr piccos are excellant value for money and have some great power but longevity can be an issue. I have been trying to get a rod for my tune from rcmush but out of stock everytime
goodluck

I dare say that's the source of your problem right there I had an issue of the side belt rubbing on the battery and eating through it so i shimmed the pulleys and tensioner to move it away a little bit. Those darn batteries aren't cheap either and it's not like your able to use another brand/type

I have it on charge and will look sort the other stuff out!

i have a questions about g4rs setting. When should i used droop 4 to 5 mm. What a diffrence when we using 2mm and 4 mm droop set. Please advise.

i had a bit problem... my rear always over stear after out of coner when im start trigger the power. Even im using soft spring and low compound tyre such 38 or 37. Most front tyre im using 30 or 40 . Front spring was blue 1.7

Please advise.

Nitro-Racer*

use a 2mm droop on the front and 4mm droop on the rear. also try the orange 1.8 on the front and the blue 1.7 on the rear with 600cSt.
also use a hard roll bar on the front and soft on the rear. also use 37 shore front tyres and 40 shore rear ones

Hi

Well i have it all back together now... I have some made some changes to reduce any chances of any more problems. I have installed the new battery pack and also moved the receiver out to the transponder mount. Just to make sure i don't get any fuel splashed all over it, i got creative with some body plastic!!!

I will track test it on Sunday, if i still loose radio signal then i have a radio issue for sure!

Enjoy images...

Hi BB just be a bit mindful of where you have that rx all it will take is a nice side knock and you could loose all control, when I drove the rs I wanted to get the rx up out of that cage but never got around to it , I always used ballons and the spektrum pro which is suppose to be fuel proof anmd I never had a problem. if you could maybe get a rx box from either mugen or xray and see if you can adapt it some how.
cheers

Hi Aussies

Thanks for feedback... I don't like the position either, but if i can have a run then it is all good.


Did you get your Xray sorted yet? I found 2 speed to be a challenge and also the shocks where rubbish. I have heard Kyosho shocks are the go

That's where we run ours, no probs so far...

If the receiver is going to cop a big hit, it won't make much difference where it is !

I'd turn it 90deg - so it's north/ south instead of east/west

What was the battery mod you did and how did you do it? It might come in handy when i need a new pack and need to save a few bucks My heat shrink is starting to peel off on one end
