You mean how many degrees of CASTER? Stock is 10 degrees. There's no incline in the stock parts, only the inclined parts.

Incorrect. 1/10 is just so light of a load the shafts dont wear as noticeably.


Some feel uni's are better, Some feel CV's are better. Its all personal opinion.

Shock Mod - using the foam compensators what is the Mod and is it worth doing ?

Thanks in advance

Neil

On the servo saver, tighten the s/s nut all the way down and then back it off 2 1/2 turns, I put locktite on the threads so it want back off, and keep a check on it.

The shock mod it make the shocks more consistent, you can order the foam compensators from 2.0 euro buggy just check amain hobbies. You will need to drill a hole in the shock cap, not sure what drill bit size but its the size of the bleed hole on the side of the cap now. The hole is to relieve any pressure on top of the foam compensator and bladder. I drilled the hole next to the mount, or you can buy the 2.0 euro buggy shock caps.

Check youtube Adam Drake has a video on the shock mod

Maybe there is, but what can they possibly do to the 2.0T roller that we haven't already done. Inclined spindles, drilled shock caps with foams, V2 tower, bigger rear hub bearings and aluminum rear diff inserts. I just can't think of anything else right now, but that's all they would do i would imagine.

If it was my company, I would come out with the 2.5T make the changes and market the truck as improved without the cost of a whole new platform for 2 more years. Economics 101 and Marketing 101 all rolled up in one smart business move!

i was just gonna say that...thats the only thing i would ever see coming from TLR as a NEW TRUGGY...but it would still probally end up bieng a 3.0 ...maybe not ...either way....these trucks are dialed, when you LEARN what they LIKE and DONT LIKE
