I ran Kody's setup today and the truck was dialed, layout was different so can't compare lap-times though. Truck was consistent and stable but was it better than the Rcshox/3rd part setup - short answer - no, was it worse, no, it was basically the same but less twitchy and less corner speed. All evened out in the end. There are obviously two ways to skin a cat here and both work equally well. But that begs the question - Is there a magical combination of RCshox parts and a dialed AE setup? I'm going to try and find out.

My track is a bumpy, dusty medium sized 1/8 outdoor track.
As for tires, well, 7 trucks in the 4x4 Amain and 6 different treads so as of now (track's first year) nobody knows lol.

is anyone running full castle electronics ? i have the mamba max pro, castle BEC and 1410 motor. with the length of the stock esc to rec wires and the addition of the bec along with the servo and lap counter ,oh and a glitch buster and "Y" harness my truck looks likea freaken wire factory no matter how nice i wad up the wires with zipties.

arggh

It radically changes droop and effective corner weights (like misadjusting your spring preload), and that's a big deal for some users.

If it's bent, it's junk IMO.

I know what you mean!!! I like to wrap my wires around my 2mm hex wrench to coil them the best i can... Other than that I just put a lid on it and go have fun

how high can i gear this truck up got 550 4.5 at 12 62 is 15 62 ok

I would think that 14 is about as high as you want to go, but your temps will tell you more than any of us can. Gear by temp.

my motor is as 100 after a 15 min run in the street it runs way cool

Temp it with the 14 or 15 or whatever you want to try, just make sure you temp it every few minutes.

how big of gear fit in this kit with a 62 big one

i made a quick little lexan cover to help keep the wires in place.when i get more time i make one that more involved.

Yes as I posted this I was doing a A Main order, got front and rear RPM arms, along with a heap of stuff I "wanted"

Sounds like our track, I run AKA Enduro's and like them, been running AKA City Block's on my E buggy and like them even better, just got some for the SC.

Yup, Cityblocks are popular in truggy and buggy but don't seem to work to well in SC.
Enduros, Calibers, Grid irons, snipers, etc. all kin of work. I ran stock LOSI tires and they worked pretty well.

Evil, can you post a link to this setup please. I am working on the Kellogg setup, the one posted on URC. I hear that it is pretty good as well.


Also how do I get more droop for the big jumps? Has anyone drilled a fourth hole on the shock tower?
