Looking for a kick in the ass in the right direction
Just about finished my build, planning on using the dunsford set up. I got an rx8 gen 2 and looking to hook it up to Tekin sc4 550 4.5 or thunder power 550 4.5. What kind of timing do I have to do to get this baby humming? Do I go with a 12t or higher for pinion? Plan on doing most of my racing at Hot Rods. I have put 5/5/3 in the diggs, what's recommended for shock oil? And any other tips u can throw in there, I'd most appreciate. U guys rock, the rc community is like no other. Thanks in advance.

Anyone ever have "crunchy" feeling in their diff after building it?
I have torn it down and rechecked everything and it is assembled correctly.
It almost seems as if the diff case is too short and it is jamming the orbital gears up. If I loosen the cover screws up a bit it is smooth but of course then all of the diff fluid will leak out.
Will the gears perhaps free up after use or should I double the gasket to gain more clearance?

Question for Casper or Ryan, (or anyone else with input)
I see you both are sponsored by Venom for your batteries. The 5800 they have are at a 70C rating. Question is with your experience at what point, if any is overkill in the C category? What I have noticed as the C rating goes up the mAh goes up along with the weight of the battery. While shopping for batteries I have seen the C rating as high as 100.
Has there been any independent comparisons on the batteries that anyone could refer me to?
Looking forward to hearing input.

SCTE is half way built doing a little bit at a time. Will have it ready for this weekend
Lol currently read up to post 5041 got about 1000 more lots of great info.

higher C rating typically means lower internal resistance so more punch and lower battery temps.
Venom batteries IMO are under rated for there "C" level compared to other batteries I have used or from feedback I have recieved from others who have tried my batteries. I have been VERY pleased with the performance and durability of the Venom packs and would highly recommned them to anyone looking for batteries. Not saying they are the only good batteries out there but I have had tremendous luck with my cells and cannot complain one bit about them.

I'm having a problem with the LF binding under full compression. There's a sharp left hander after a big jump on the track. About 50% of the time the LF will stay compressed for 10-15 feet after the jump. I've checked everything I know of and can't figure it out.
Removed shocks and the front suspension is very floppy, no binding at all. I'm running Dunfords setup except for a different front kickup. 1 Front up 1 back down. I feel like it's coming from the 2mm of bump steer I have added like on Dunsfords setup. If I'm landing with the wheels turned could it be binding that way? I've tried to make it bind by hand and just can't do it. Any suggestion on where to look next?
