glad the setup was working. and more impressed someone needed more steering from one of my set ups! lol
I have found that the car is very sensitive to ride height and droop, might be able to do some fine tuning with that. for more off power you can increase a little rear droop to dump some more weight on the nose. this will have little effect on the rest of the car.

Used:
Tekno NB48 (first time driving a Tekno)
Lutz WE engine
Lutz 2107 pipe
Buku composite shoe clutch

Setup the buggy as per Mo's sheet with a few minor front end adjustments (the track was super slippery)

Initial impressions:
Drive train is super smooth. Rivals my MP9.
Acceleration is incredible.
Will turn inside a Mugen MBX7
Jumps and lands well. No Kyosho double bounce.
Extremely durable. Many people were breaking A arms landing after the large triple jump.

Used a Go Pro camera for attached You Tube video. My internet connection is very bad, thus can not tell how the video turned out. Any body had any success with a good head mounted video camera, please let me know.
+ YouTube Video
ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed.
dang! how have I never been to that track??!!!! it looks awesome!

Yes, the track was a bit blown out so we were testing a number of tires (VMAX, lockdown, diamondback, etc). On power was quite excellent in comparison, but running hard and occasional overshooting a corner due to loose surface, rotation back around was a bit slower.

Point is, looks really good, just need a little more tweaking/setup/tires for me.

The Ions seem to be a bit more streamline for helmet/head mounting than the GoPros but I've never used one so I cant comment on performance. Tough to beat the GoPro though; they have a simple head strap.

I wanted to order some aluminum shims for the rear hubs and found these but was curious if somebody had found some 2mm wide orange shims?

Nitroal. That looks a lot easier than having the big Go Pro camera on my head. Do you have any videos on You Tube so I can see the quality.

Thanks for the info.................

I'm pretty sure posts are sitting in their holes, and i don't have truggy at all =) Clearance between tank and chassis is normal(3-5mm approx.), so my posts definitely buggy ones.

Another one scary pic. Top lid of new tank after 5min run:


Thread on lid was stripped wit pressure nose causing leak and tuning issues of course. I had left tank lid from prev 'revised' tank before throwing it away, so no problems here. Spent some time and made two normal tanks from all parts i have

The only way I could drive a NB-48 with More steering than Mo's setup has is if I had a co-driver telling me when to turn, Rally car style! lol
