Love those paint jobs!!

PM me

Thanks guys. Did'nt realize clicking the pic took you to my PB librairy.

Saturdays right around the corner sir!

finally got my 3x1.4 pistons in for racing wednesday, the car was ALOT better on landing, also seemed like i gained alittle jump distance too.

waiting on a pair of green rear springs to come in next week, as it feels like the rear could be alittle softer with these pistons (32.5green/30white) but whites may work fine if i went down to 27.5 as well.

but im thinking green/3x1.4/32.5 front green/3x1.4/30wt might be the ticket because i love the compression/rebound with the 30wt in the rear.

I assume you installed these with the taper on the top correct?

The taper should be down..


While I really really liked the 3x1.4's at one track that is very smooth and high grip.... They were hands down worse in every way at my home track. Way too soft and dumpy at low an high speed. Way less pack of course on landings... Took the car way too long too recover.

I ran them 2 weeks straight tryin all sorts of combinations to get them to work but I had fallen off my usual pace. 3rd week in a row I came out with them fresh orings and ready to test... The car still acted the same(of course)... Went back to my standard 1.7's 35/32.5... Car was instantly better!!! Take-offs/ landings/ very solid in the corners... Gained a solid .5 sec a lap back that I had lost.

Right now my car is absolutely the best in every way I've had a car in many many years!!!

If anyone wants a great setup for a medium grip indoor track that's medium to large size, elevation changes... Let me know

Tough to beat them 1.7's...indoor or out,love em!

sure AE ill take a look at your set up if you can pmit or post it that would be great thnx

wow,really? I hated the 1.7's. no pack and the car was all over the place. I guess different strokes for different folks.

so far I only tried 1.6 and 1.7, both std. my car felt easier to drive with 1.7 but slower. If no one buys my car, I'll order all the tapered pistons and try them.

Speaking of which ....... anyone wanna buy my car :P

hmm, I dont get it , lol. The 1.4x3 should have way more pack the 1.7x2. The 1.7's were ok in the corners, but the chassis slapping was terrible. 1.6 had good pack but were not great in the corners. I really felt like the 1.4x3 very the best of both worlds. Post your entire setup, I am wondering if you did something vastly different with roll centers and camber gain.

If you meant my setup,

I am running
Front

1mm under ballstud
inside / inside camber link
inside / outside for shock
2mm bump steer
37.5 oil
black springs
3 limiters

REAR
Std Ubrace, no washers
1 B camber (std)
inside / inside for shock
wheelbase centered
35 oil
white springs
2 limiters


My 1.6 package is everything the same except 30 wt front 27.5 rr for oil.

Speaking solely of the shocks the shocks themselves the 1.7's have proven to be better at my track regardless of the layout. I tested extensively back to back to back to back flip flopping between the 1.6 and 1.7 when they first came out. 1.7 won every time.

Now after my last test of the 3x1.4 vs 1.7 I kept everything else the same... 1.7 were instantly better in every way and it showed on the clock.

Due to the amount of Pm's I got I will post my setup on here.


I am using A hubs, again after back to back testing on this layout, they were a tick faster but also much easier to drive. In my experience the key to A hub vs. C hub debate is this: if your track has elevation changes/ off cambers/ banked turns... The A hubs are most usually better. If your track is flat, C hubs all day!

Front

Shocks 1.7 35 2 limiters green spring mounted inside/outside

1a camber link 1mm, -1
2 hole 30* blocks
Spindle shaved and moved up 1mm
2mm bumpsteer

Rear

1.7 32.5 white 2 limiters
Mounted inside/inside
Camber 1B 1mm under studs
A hubs also spaced middle
3 deg toe, 2 anti squat

Shorty pack in the middle 1/2 oz in front of Batt tray, 1/4 in each triangle and the ballast weight.

But where's your ESC? WE'VE GOT TO KNOW WHERE YOU PUT IT!

I'm kidding. I haven't tried the 1.7s yet, but I might give them a go next week. The home track has been really dry lately, and I'm kind of tired of going through a set of tires each night.
