Hope that helps.

Do you Recall WC what conditions these were for as well as the settings left blank?

When they mention coupled and decouple slipper setting, is that the pin mod or something else?

Yeah Jeff, I run in c.springs, bashers, mills pond, and my local privately owned track in Miami that is not yet quite up to par with the others(this is my local and closest track, they have been working on a new layout recently, and hopefully got there act together, but its still not done yet)Im trying to possibly start a non for profit rc car club/track in the greater miami area b/c its a huge void in our community...Let me know when you come down, as the coral springs crew are a class act and would love to have you...Very competative yet nice and helpful group of ppl that work hard on that track..Good times, indeed!

Awesome hopefully Marcus finishes up withher tomorrow. I cant wait to wheel her.

is there a part number for the 1.8mm swaybar? I used the search utility and see where they mention its now included, but didn't see a part number for just the swaybar on amain, tower, or AE's site?

Sounds about right.

I ordered two last night.

I hear what you're saying, but considering that real short course trucks have the windshields cut out of them....we aren't exactly getting it right either. On an related note, I had Carl Renezeder as a customer when AE was molding the original SC10 body, they used his real short course truck. If you look at the AE body and wonder why it looks like a Nissan roof with Ford headlights, grill, and windows, well, it's because it is. Carl had Nissan sponsorship, and when they went away, it required building an all new chassis to fit the Ford body, so they "made" it work.

If you're into realistic looks, have you considered running VTA? It's a riotously good time.

inside on rear tower for shock position


used a Multiplate slipper , not sure if they were using a pin or what ever so i left it blank...


Ty for the help

WC,
Why did they or you add so much weight to.the rear of the truck?

Hey dub c .

Gonna try the wonder perfect set up and want to get it right when you say inside on tower for shock location you mean location 1 on the set up sheet correct ?
Want to give it a try and want to make sure we are 100% right

Thanks for the info

O&S

I have run with out the 1 oz on the battery pack, back & forth to test ..


better balance & traction with the weight then with out ....

Actually AE used Barlow Motorsports Red Bull Ford trucks for the original SC8. They actually used me in the add to help tie in the real truck to rc. Long before they did anything with Carl. And when Carl went to the Ford body finally it was all Ford no Nissan roof line. Until he ran out of Nissan body work on the other truck which was butt ugly with the Ford emblem on the front.

No thanks. If I road race again I will just run F1- for the fun of it.

When people start comparing cutting out the front windshield to cutting off the rear fender. Well that's just a stupid analogy.

I don't know anything about the RC8. I know before this came out:



AE was at Carl's shop, and a week later, sombody dropped of like two dozen 1/18 scale RTRs. Everyone in the shop was out screwing off in the parking lot when I pulled up right after it happened.

Anyway, that body looks strikingly like the Nissan body work truck with the Ford emblem on it. They pop rivited the Ford grill over the Nissan grill ICRC, and restickered the headlights. It looked okay from 50 feet, but if you got up close you could totally tell.

VTA is the same sort of class.
