Vic_rds,

Yeah you got a good deal.

I don't know of anyone who races a sixpack, but it looks like you could buy a T-Fource chasis and convert everything over. Or just run it as is.

Great buy.

hey the digler here again. Been out of electric for a long while. Whats the deal with the big capacitors on the ESC's? Is this a must or just insurance? I am planning on a Novak GTX running stock and maybe 19 turn.

Thanks again for the help.

THE DIGLER

Hi Bill,

Like Ray said, you can use a straight edge.

Another way is if you have the droop setting blocks for TC (the 2 rectangle blocks that you lay the chassis on and the gauge to measure droop at the arms) you can use that also in the same way and just measure at the back of the motor pod.

Can someone explain what pod droop is then please?

I can see how pod droop would work on a link car but not really on a t-bar car.

Any one running GQ's? I wanted to know what compounds have been working for 19t carpet. Thanks

Droop is the angle of the pod in relation to the chassis, when the pos is fully extnded back.. droop is a very usfull tool in tuning, especially on a t bar car.. Put the chassis on a flat surface with the pod hanging off.. have the center shock disconented.. you will see how the pod drops down..

below is an explanation about pod dropp Eric Anderson or EA put on another site..
Ive found a coulpe different things that will require more pod droop. Rough tracks. A longer center shock (IE More pod droop) is needed to keep the tires in the bumps and smooth the car out. Also more pod droop will give you more steering center of the corner.

The more angle the shock is on the shock mount the less weight transfer to the front tires therefor less steering and it also makes the shock spring a little more progressive feeling. The higher the shock is mounted the more weight transfer to the front giving more steering and a more linear feeling on the spring.

here is an link to the rc4 less thread.. These are Gq tires, just re badged..

Hey burbs, is your avatar meant to say kiss your azz or are you saying come and get it?

The kit tires of the red version are Grey rears, Purple fronts.
Good starting point, although I prefer pinks in the rear.

LMFAO!!!

Burbs...(and EA indirectly) thanks for the explanation. That's what I've thought it was but the discussion here confused me.

hey Rob... i have some of those i have run before... when i get home, ill check the compounds again.

one thing i do like about them is that they make front dual compounds, like the TC's...

GQ's seem to be very good tires, excellent wear on nitro. I am going to pick up a couple sets, just not sure what compounds to get.

How do you guys line up your servos?

I have a Rev4 and I will using a 94145 mounted flat to the chassis. Obviously it has to be centered, but what about tie rod angles, both front to rear and up and down. I have seen a few different ways of doing it, some of them even mount the ball studs on the opposite side (pointing toward the servo). Also, which holes in the servo saver (Kimbro) would I use with this servo mounted flat. Thanks

pic of Dumas' cleveland car... i have mine mounted like that. need to remove the blue from the AE mounts, tho... everything else is silver.
