Sad to say, but the 3Racing shocks is a sent from above!!...Even if i do not like 3racing, this is the best, investment for this little car.

I run them with Losi Nitri axles, and one hole drilled front of to (1mm) 45 oil
Rear stock 30 oil. The car swallows everyting. I never thought i should say it.

They are ace...have to get a thread "maker" (not sure about what they call it in the US) 2mm. the surface on the Losi axles are the best.., the Stock Factoryteam are like 180 sandpaper....they are also HARD. The 3racing are better, but soft as spagetthi..

I think this is one of the best mods

So you re-thread it for the bottom mounts?? Also, are they the same length as the 3racing shafts?? (especially the fronts as I run Exotek R18 and R18II chassis and run the short ones all the way around) Do you have a part number by chance? Thanks man!

The Losi Fronts fit 3Racing almost perfect, you have to Re-thread it app 2-3mm ectra, then cut axle app 2-3mm

Front you have to re-thread it much longer, then cut it as the 3racing front axles.

LOSB1111 Front Shock Shafts (pr): Mini-T.




Think this is the front shock axle..

Default Last indoor report

Yesterday we did some tracktime...for me i think it is the last one for the indoor season...(i do hope i can run ONE more) As allways there are only 2 1/18 at the club for now, me and Håggy, he also run the TEK18T car..

Insted of the "old" short step on,step off, we decided to get some air time..the car works extremly well, and have almost no problems at all, we think the temp in the room is little low, and that do affect the W in the oil.



I tried, Cut long gold in the front, worked well, then the temp started to rise, and i went back to Blue rear cut...same rear spring (losi mini-t).. I run 2x0.9 pistons in front with 45w Losi oil, and 1x1.0 hole on rear with AE 30w oil..little to much pack in the front, but it works..

I think we have over 15 minutes of hard driving, and the temp will never go over 50 deg celsius

Hi Oliver..hehe, well i do not think, i know . Well there is real nice Sensorless designs, but in my opinion, there is no system today that
can compare to the Novak. I have tried everything from Mamba,tekin,hobbywing,speedpassion,mambamax,traxxa s etc in micro cars...Novak is the thing, if you ask me, but i am a racer i want the silk smooth feeling.TEK18 with Novak mongoose and a 8.5T motor...love it.

The track i ran it yesterday...pics of my AC S4..
