Yes that is what I meant by green spooge. The manufacturer doesn't label it in cst and neither do we. It really doesn't matter, It's green. It's similar to anyone running anything Josh has designed running kyosho yellow. If you don't have green spooge I'd recommend 15k-20k diff lube.

Thanks I'm gonna give them a try

Do they mostly use the 18 or 20 and 22 in 12th?

I would start with .18 and if more steering is needed do .20. Its not often you'll run the .22 but I would try them too.

I am finding that on most tracks, with regular grip conditions, the difference between the springs is minimal. Their wire gauge is more noticeable on high-grip tracks, where softer becomes easier to drive without loosing steering.

I start with .18's on any new track I go to and change from there. If the grip get's insane then I almost always come back to .18's

Just some Rev7 porn..


.18 springs for me also seem to work best, but I am noticing on our bumpier track using the .18 spring does not allow you to run as low of ride height on the carpet, my car bottoms out much easier with the .18 than the .20, so it handles the bumps better one way, worse in others. So its a trade off.. but the car is super smooth and easy to drive.

Bruce,


Im still waiting on the lower rear graphite piece for the pod setup.. Remember the mis comunication we hadabout what chassis.. i had the inline or reg... I did recieve the parts from team tamale though... and i must say u guys put together quite a work of art between the 2 of you...

Wes and Peter...those cars are inspiring! What servo saver are you fellows using that allow the servo to be taped flat to the chassis like that, or is something under the servo to raise it up a bit for clearance. When I investigated it on my car, the rounded, bottom part of the servo saver extended past the base of the servo and prevented me from laying it down. Thank you for your time gents.

I remember looking at a pic of your Rev7 from the "best/cleanest electronics install" thread and thinking how clean it looked. I went back to find it and noticed you were previously runny a Tekin.

How do you like the LRP compared to the Tekin? Any reason why you switched?

Btw, car looks great. Inspiring me to trade in my 12R5.1 for a Speed Merchant

I see a different centre shock location on your car, moved forward .250 or so
Development parts?

The servo is cut out to allow the servo saver to protrude "through" the chassis but does not dip below the chassis itself. All Speedmerchant chassis are cut like this, on something like a CRC you may need to cut a hole in the chassis to run a flat servo.

What about this esc question Wes?

Thanks

I did not like the compromise in weight distribution from right to left that running a receiver pack or booster caused, the car was a touch heavier on the battery side always and I could not move my transponder over to adjust for that.

The LRP is easier to use, no booster (which had failed on me twice) and no receiver pack. For blinky it seems to work just fine, and I think with the newest firmware it feels like it is going to be good enough for boosted - but I have not ran it yet in boost - bench testing though it sounds pretty fast. Also with this setup the car is now 731-736 grams (depending on scale.)

Performance wise I like the feel of the LRP. It feels much smoother than the Tekin, and in blinky classes feels more ligitament than running the Tekin, IMO.

Thanks for the info.

Am I seeing the pic above correctly? Did you true the outer few mms of your front tires down to the wheel? Effectively narrowing the front tire/contact patch?
