Somehow I slept through this, but Cameron's post is spot on.

If you look at Kory's setup from the Jconcepts race, notice he raised the hub carrier 8mm, and used 7mm of shims below the inner ball stud. If you just add the inner shims, it makes the camber curve all funky which causes it's own set of problems.

Thanks for searching first!

The Novak ballistic 550s fit fine in the chassis with no modifications. Only the older (and obsolete) motors need help. You have to fuss with it a little to get it in there, but it fits. That said, your motor should fit in your chassis with no modifications.

I would double check your motor plate and make sure it's keyed in the slot of the chassis absolutely square. If that doesn't fix it, post pictures.

Yes, but it was also one of those things that I was not sure that I liked on the track. No one here had the carbon C tab that I could get to test with quickly so I could not get the plus 8 you have. So as high as I could go was not giving me the results that you were having so I asked the engineer. Somethings seemed better but my lap times did not reflect it in testing until last weekend. Every single lap 22.xxx. I was only able to raise the outside 4mm and the inside 5mm with what I had so it was good on a loose outdoor track and might be event better with the 8mm you raised it.

V2 center diff was AWESOME here. Very easy to drive.

I just finally got my truck going buggy pace , and you know how fast that class is up here ...

16.4 sec

Mike S best bug time 16.0 sec ....


Just using what the Ae team uses ....

Ready for those Durango & losi and then some ...

still @5mm till the 12mm Team ball studs come in later this week

Kinwald had them last July, pics were posted on this board on 7/11/11. Users who were paying attention knew then. I had them on my truck sometime in August.

About a month later BK had a new ackerman bar, made out of carbon.

Anyway, way to bring it Team Xerox driver Wild Cherry - for reposing old tech (once it becomes proven because Kory runs it and AE put it on their site) and taking credit for it.

Here comes my trashing now ......Ha !

Craig at least when I get the info the same day the rest get it here as well and with out any attitude..

Assuming no timing, etc. Where are you topping out down the longest straight?


I went up a lot on the shims under the inner ball studs. For our carpet track I was up to 5 - 7mm of shims front and rear.

I am assuming you mean slipper to slipper and not including RC Shox Center diff? I am still curious as to what exactly performance wise makes the AE one better.



For those on a budget you can get the 12mm ball studs in regular flavor too.

With all the talk about hub position and ballstud washers, I think it helps to take a step back and think about what the camber link does. (Please correct me if I'm wrong)

It's basic job is to add positive camber as that side of the suspension arm travels upwards in order to make the tire dig into the track more.

It adds more pressure on the outside of the tire to force more traction. If too much is added it will cause a smaller contact patch since the inside is lifted from the surface and eventually causes traction rolling.

On a low-traction surface losing that inner contact patch can cause you to loose traction since you are only using part of the tire.

So a shorter arm causes the change in camber to be more dramatic and a longer arm less dramatic.

Where I still get confused is what difference going higher on the ball studs or higher or in and out on the hub makes. Is it all about the arm length or do some setups change when that affect kicks in?

Cain , I looked up the studs , only 12mm I found listed were the Team versions...

Compare ?
The Ae VTS slipper performance is so good it has stepped up the game .
This is why your seeing the others rebuild & improving their stuff...

Thanks ilan , you got a part # , placing orders today soon ...

Look on the link I put, right below where it says out of stock......


Ehh nvm, here you go ;-) ASC91050

Just a heads up for those wanting the new version exotek chassis that will fit the Factory Team Saddle Pack setup is now back in stock, you can get them at http://www.trick-parts.com for the cheapest price on the net.....

Can the Spektrum Telemetry take both measurements at the same time (i.e. run another temp through the Aux or something)?

I'll can move the thermo to the ESC, but was concerned taping the temp on would hinder heat sink and give false reading. I have an IR Thermo, so can try that.

Cool. How fast do they normally process orders?

If you order them before 4pm eastern time they will ship out that day.......
However they order the exotek directly from exotek's site so it all depends on when exotek ships it out.......
