is this all that's needed to try out the vts slipper? http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...Conversion-Set

Yes, that will take care of the VTS, some also suggest to use the original b44 slipper spring as it will give a greater range of adjustment and isnt as stiff as the v2 spring.

whats a good starting point on gearing for a 13.5 d3 blinky on a small tight indoor track

how does the body fit?

I was told that the PL Bulldog fits the best but not great. The JC Finnisher needs to have a couple holes put in it to clear the tower (the PL might also require these holes). You need to cut off the outer most hole on the tower as well for better clearance. JC has a newer Finnisher style body that is made to fit this front end better but is not yet available.

For those of you that are drilling the 4th hole in the rear shock tower are you drilling on the same virtual line as the other holes (picture 1) or dropping the hole down slightly to be more in the center of the tower (picture 2)

Virtual Line


Centered

I pretty much do it how you did. bolt up another tower like you did so that the holes follow a similar plane as the others. Mine look more like the second picture...but its close.

You can't run the 4th hole with the big bores, Correct?

I was and with no spacers, just do some dremeling. im now running the 3rd hole.

Awesome. I could really use that 4th hole

I'm also running the Associated BB with the 4th hole and minimal dremeling

I went ahead and drilled the second tower with the hole a little more centered. I will try them both out and see which one feels better, that is if I can even tell a difference

What is the benefit of running the 4th hole over the 3rd?

more traction is the theory.

for you guys that have the hex drive. does anyone know if the lost 22t wheels fit and have same offset?
