Shorter rear links and more rear toe in. Tune the motor down and don't hesitate to use more of the power band. And of course, find the right tire. I drive on a dusty loose track at home and tried a bunch of different rear tires before settling on M3 Bowties believe it or not. I tried everything from Schumacher mini spikes all the way to Barcodes when the track was swept. Still always go back to the Bowties.

where exactly does the antisquat part go im kind of lost on that part if you could post a pic or something please would be appreciated

Under the tow block with the number stamped in it. The hinge pins also go into the tow block.

take the battery out (if in car) look under the rear shock tower from the battery slot, anti-squat goes under the 3.* toe block. there are two screws on the under side to take out to remove.

hope this helps (sorry no pics)

yeah it helped cause now i know i did it correct because after posting i did some research on google and found a pic with some arrows pointing to where but now i know for sure i did it correct thanks for the quick responce

Hey guys
Just wondering about the rear ballast weight what it does and when to use it.
Will it give me more steering or settle down the rear end.
thanks.

Hey guys I got some kyosho bb springs that I don't use.
Used them for one race.
There white in front gold in the rear.
30$ There yours.
PM me if u need any pics or have any questions

put it in and forget it. adds traction and stability to the rear. replaces some of the lost weight for lipos>nimh.

I heard someone got a slamming car today........

is there a easier way to pull those hub pins out cause omg i just spent like 20 min pulling that thing out and it was frustrating. on top of that i got a very bloody finger from when trying to hammer it out the screwdriver stabed me pretty good

not sure but i think your talking about the for the wheels? if take some needle nose pliers and place them with there side on the roll pin and squezze (its tight) it should work. becareful because if it slips off it will pinch your fingers.
becareful with the hammer as you might bend the items you are hitting.

Google 'pin vise' and purchase one. Then you insert a drill bit (smooth side out) small enough to fit in the backside hole on the arm (or even properly sized piano wire) to push the hingepin out of the arm.

Be sure you hold the arm only as you push on the pin. If you hold the hub or turnbuckle and the arm it will bind it up even worse.

You can also use the pin vise to hold drill bits for when you drill your own piston holes. All kindsa uses...

Hey guys i just bought the new c hubs for the rear hubs when would be the best time to put them on?
What does it give you.
cheers

So I've searched thru this thread, and I wanted clarification:

- Gearing for 17.5
w/ no timing - 78t Spur and gear to the moon (biggest pinion possible)

- Mod - Depends on timing, 81 spur and 20-26 pinion?

Local track runs a 17.5 no boost, blinky class. I just picked up a Peak 17.5 for now, till some other motors come in, but wanted to get some clarifying info answered.

I did a quick test, using an 81 Spur with a 30T pinion, and it didn't feel all that fast.

I run 72/35 in 17.5 blinky. Any higher and it got hot too quick. I would start with 72/34 and if you want more speed and a little less low end, gear up a tooth on the pinion and watch temps. Generally 1 tooth more on the pinion is 3 teeth less on the spur.
