Yup yup, we have talked about it at the track a time or two. Id you go with the LRP, get the reedy 550 because here in EP, the lrp's run way hotter.

Jeff, those triples are really close to what we have here, those look like about 38' or so ours are 36' with a full speed run. watching those e buggies case is just like watching our track.
FWIW I can show you a video of a fellow Fl racer with a Losi and he hits it perfectly and even corrects in the air like a buggy. He was in the A main last year, gonna be probably top 3 this year. I saw him practicing he looks really good even with the low traction.

I turned my brake down all the way to 40%. My truck with the rx8 combined with that center diff has A LOT of braking. I want to be able to tap the brake and bring the nose down gently not violently.


I had a good productive two hours, I glued my Proline Holeshots on the Hazard rims, put in the new cvas and put the blue front springs in the rear. I even cleaned it, you wouldn't recognize it This thing definitely wont bottom out now. I'm keeping the shock oil the same cause I love the rebounding effect that these pistons have. Can't wait to get this b*tch on the track now.

I even worked on my b4.1 and glued tires and got that ready too. Come on weekend!

I wont be able to do that tomorrow I have new Durango stuff(210 and DESC) to test as well as the idler gear and only have a few hours to spare. I will have some video but not before and after. I am mostly concerned with the jumping for tomorrow. And i have some noise coming out of the rear so i am sure something will go wrong on the first lap!!

New SE Slick tire with Molded jConcept foams and DERacing rims..



Using Nosram T-sauce..This tire will be the only legl for indoor racing in the VBC Cup in Sweden, so it was just to start practice..I used Kyosho Ultima SC tire, and they where awsome.

App 6 packs to get them in shape..

From outer in tower (shock) to front middle..tested the Red rear springs from a friend, and it was real good..(yellow erlier), but i think i will test 27.5 AE insted...not sure...but it was awsome...Using the CluthBasket and the 540 - DnoMax 5.5...geared 93/15 and it is a screamer ..Ohh, and using my Saddlepack config, with them sidebyside in the Rear, ESC in front right, Rx and AMB on the Left..

Just a Q, if i use a 0.5-1.0 for more outboard toein, what affect will it have ?

Thanks guys

they also said i need to use an 11T pinion.

luckily they said to send it to them and they'd fix for free since its only one day old. in the meantime i ordered a reedy 550 sonic 5.5T motor. hopefully with the 11T pinion gear and the new motor it will fix my problem and run cooler.

will let you know how this works after we run it this weekend...
Hrm.. I don't get it.. a 550 size motor is supposed to have loads of torque and thus run cooler and not require the lowest possible gearing.. wouldn't be as bad if the damn pinions wouldn't cost close to 18 bucks a piece if I order them within germany.
