Good stuff Ross

First: Nice buggy Ross! way to go.

I have two motors, I'd like to ask what you dudes think

I mostly run indoor clay, but want the option of a big air outdoor.

Tekin 1700 or Castle 2200?
why?
what gearing?

thanks

I went for some practice laps @ Norcal's 1/8 track today. My second time being there and I only broke a steering rod end which I was able to replace on site. The first time I broke a steering rod end, bent dog bone, broke chassis brace and broke wing standoffs. I used Proline Calibers this time instead of the stock holeshots and I think I like the Calibers better.

I was having problems with the RX8 switch turning off after landing a jump. Happened about 3x on me today. Anyone have this problem? I'm wondering if I should just cut out the switch and do with out it. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I need driving skills for sure though...

DRUNKEN! we gotta get together. I'm at Delta right now. I didnt know there was anyone here on RCTech

Haha! For sure man! I plan on checking Delta soon! I've been follower of this thread and all of the info you posted has been truly a huge help for me in setting up my car! Thanks! Oh, BTW call me "Jay".

I'm not sure....I just installed the 10 hole pistons and 35w oil last night.....it still bottoms pretty bad in the rear. I guess thats normal when car is 10-15' in the air and lands in the flat. :-)

how do you guys keep your front body mount from coming loose? just screwing it on doesnt work for me..any ideas?

A small dab of ca glue.

Which way is your switch facing? If you have the switch oriented such that on is towards the front, it usually solves this problem.

Is this only happening after landing a jump? or even if your running on a steady pace? Most cases Ive seen and experienced is either your on/off switch or a sensor wire going bad or not properly connected. In my case my situation was the same as yours on a couple of occasions.

It's not anywhere near as nice as NorCal. But it's pretty busy here. Lots of good guys. I havent been able to run much this year. I keep breaking everything on practice days. Race days come either I'm broken or working the weekend.

I got my Rx8 back today. Came post office. I grabbed it and headed to the track and I left my battery tray at home. So I'm sitting here again, not running. I'll be here tomorrow for practice.

Ha I havent seen an EB4 S3 in a while when I raced a few years ago I ran one and loved it. I also got an 8be waiting to get a servo then im all set.
