Ok guys a couple things here that i did and notice since signing with AE/REEDY/LRP/JC.
For the v2 shocks, i tested all the orings (xrings,stock,tsr(recommend from paul wynn) and even tried the combo.. Butstill seems the stock orings seem to be the best,with freeness,bind,and life. One tip i have been doing is pretty much storing orings in green slime, like buy couple packs combind and squirt some slime in and rub around and seal and store like that till next time you replace. As for the black spacer in between ya it does seem a little odd, for one it looks like a octagon,and it a fraction too big so either snad it down or simply use the white ones.
I have the plus 8 chassis and it seems like u need to add weight to the front triangle like you do to the rear triangles car just seems even more smoother and when the weight shifts from back to front calms it down.
My 1st race with the car was 2 weeks ago at a trophy race so there was practice for hr and then right into qual and the track gain tracion like a tc track an the owner was sugar watering it,every round turned blacker and blacker to the point of the 3rd round losi driver3 were running bk bars/taper front and burning them off in 4 min but.
But since i still need to get stuff striaght i ran a x12 10.5 24/81 but honestly it didnt matter i was having diff and slipper probs come to find out. Umm i use ae cermics diff balls/bfast rings/bfast thrustrings and cermic balls. do you think with going with all cermics it didnt have enough grip to grab the rings? Alsoi did the slipper setting on the bench 3inches high method but seemed like i only slipped the outer pad as it wasglazed overbig time? O GET THIS THIS IS THE GODS HONEST TRUTH. My good freind FACTORTY driver recent onroad nats champ JEFF CUFFs decided to come out and try his hand at offroand which he didnt do to bad for have dyed rims/colored ballcups/big rpm bumper the works but he also had diff prob... but he used stock everything except ae cermic balls. He literlyrebuilt his diff 2 time in 4 races and had to replace diffrings both time as they were bent!!!! yes BENT!!! what could it be the AE ceramics are that good and qualityu cant set tight casue balls are too hard? anyone else with this?
At first when brad was trying to figure out a way to use 1 rim for the T4.1 i was to but i was going the wrong way as i was trying to figure a way to mount the quick change to the front but thats alot more uneed weight for nothing on the out side of the car.
OK now i have some other questions for you. My next big race is gonna be at the JC indoor nats at rc excitment havent race indoor electric since i went to crcrc and adam drake was running electic classes and toddhodge was there.. so im sure things have changed.. From what i gathered so far GOLD,BLUE,GREEN barcodes and they pretty much dont wear at all.. Do i need traction compound? or is once of them tracks that has different size threads for each round...
1) i just started building my T4.1 kit its gonna be an carbon copy of my B4.1.
- I needto drill a "0"hole on the rear shock tower to lean them in more
- do i still run the weightsin the rear triangle/rear ballast/and next to rec.
- everyone telling me to copy cav setup for it, latest one i found was the surf city one in 2010is that it?
- do they run kyosho springs on the t4.1?
- Prob gonna run a 8.5 lrp in truck with a sxx tc v2 what kinda gearing for that motor and timing/speedo settings
2)Back to the B4.1 imgonna run the reedy sonic 8.5/sxx v2 any ideas on gearing ,timing,and speedo setup.
- stupid question even though its a short neckball stud why do they have a black one and a silver one i mean obviously i replaced them with the new ae gold ti ones but still?
- Any certian shock lengths for either B4/T4
3) and lastly i promise im gonna run 3classes leaning toward 4wd mod or sc4x4 but there backorderedso i might be going with a b44.1
- anything special to this kit/ i noticed some guys ru the alum tower/case upper mounts some dont,mayfeild steering mod?,doubling up on front tower? what about other aftermarket parts for this car?
- whats starting setup/build tips ext.
-i already have a sxxtc v2 waiting for either a b44.1 or a sc4x4 but what motor do i want/lrp,or sonic/timin/gearing/speedo settings?
