Yes Bob is correct about our tracks. What track are you on running on WonTon? I think Mike Gays setup is a great starting point for anyone running in our area at the more popular tracks.

I'm going to make it down to Mimis soon. Probably try to get there later this month or early next month.

In looking at the setup sheets on Associated's site, there is a variance between 1 and 2 limiters in the shocks, yet the stroke/shaft length is almost always 20.5 front and 25.6mm rear in all the setups. If the stroke length is the same no matter if I have 1 or 2 limiters, then is there an advantage to having more or less limiters inside the shock?

I put an extra limiter in the shock then unscrew the eyelet to set the stroke. Allows some adjustment without shock disassembly.

yep, use your internal limiters to get you to the "middle" of your current tune range. For example, if you are playing back and forth with a certain amount of droop, and you are going back and forth between lets say 19mm and 21mm stroke, use your limiters to get you to 20...so you have 1mm up and down with just the eyelet.

anybody notice this ? the new v2 4 gear gearbox case i wounder if they are lowering it's profile like the yz-2 http://www.teamassociated.com/parts/details/91552/

doubtful. that is listed as the T5M tranny. maybe they adjusted the tolerances or just made a case that was best suited for the truck.

Yeah, and if it was moved forward, there is no room since the motor would have to more forward too, that would require a new chassis and side cradle guards.

I wonder if the truck will have a slightly different ratio? Maybe that would be the reason for a gearbox change.
01-06-2015, 05:15 PM
It dosn't say anything about size or ratio. It just says a lighter top shaft, higher quality gears and bearings, and is a 14 ball diff now to make it more reliable and more torque efficient. I hope it works in the buggy platform.

Kody mentioned that what is holding the 3 gear tranny up is that they wanted to get the mesh perfect and that it required adjusting things a few times. This is probably what the V2 is for as well. They say that it is now a 14 ball diff because the previous truck had a 12 ball diff, the buggy is already a 14 ball diff.

1.6's
Addressing different compounds - Front to rear i would consider running a synthetic front tire for driver in the early stages of development or if i was trying to dial out steering as it calms the steering down at my facility. I did this with the girlfriends car for awhile. Now that she's getting better I've put the front end on clay compounds. Now she just needs to stay on the throttle more lol.
