Here's my 7 Eco Conversion with Nitrohouse chassis. Stock Eco body fits perfect. Still have to set camber, ride height, and toe. Can't wait to hit the track!

Yes, I had the Eco for a while when it first came out, switched to couple other buggies for a while including the 2.0e, now back to the Eco. To me, the Eco is just more planted in the rear. Very...

Its definitely a different feeling than I was used to, but very stable. The rear is really "locked in" for the most part. I was on a pretty big high grip, clay layout so there was nearly too much...

Just make sure to loctite any screws that need it. Other than that, the box USA spec set-up is pretty dialed. Just run it and see what you think. Have fun! :nod:

Is the Eco listed on Tower's website the USA edition?

Has the same number as Amain- E0088, but doesn't mention anything about which edition. Is this the only model available at this point? Had an Eco when it originally came out and may go back. ...

Definitely fine length wise. Width will be fine as well i think. If anything, may just be a bit tall depending on what body you are using.

Yep- try 5 in the center. I ended up running 5-5-2 in my Eco on a small, high bite, indoor clay track last year. Also ran a smaller front bar, little heavier front shock oil and lighter rear shock...

Thanks man. Gonna get one of these. Since I run 6s soft packs this will be much better I think.

Yep- the Punisher body is what I am using as well and it is a big improvement over stock IMO. Plus- gives me clearance for my 6s batts! :cool:

That should be the right set. Believe it or not, Horizon Hobby had the best price a few months ago when I bought mine. 59 bux or so. i think that was right. Anyways, check there too. ;)

Ride height is measurement from flat surface to the bottom of the chassis. Drop the buggy from 6" or so and then check the ride height. Losi, RPM, n others sell ride height gauges which are pretty...

Not totally sure I understand what is happening here, but your Eco should be soaking up the rough stuff probably better than that Losi or at least as well. It seems that is where this buggy really...

Mike,
I think we are pretty much running identical setups, and Leon also runs the 6s, RX8, 1400kv with his Emugen. You should not be seeing anywhere close to those temps. About the hottest that...

Why must you tease me like this??? :lol: It would be cool if they did. I would ditch the SCTE for one. Mugen quality is second to none.

I went to 7k in the center diff as opposed to going up in the rear as I still wanted to make sure that I had good rotation but wanted to take some of the snappy looseness out. This definitely...
