Aaron,

I've noticed that on both my truck and buggy that the universals stick out a little ways from the nut. There's a little less than a quarter of an inch hanging out after the nut has been screwed on all the way. Do you or would you recomend dremmeling off the excess?

Thanks!

Default tire hop

Aaron, im running an xxx-t with a dually/KR 10x2. At higher speeds my front wheels start hopping. Im thinking my wheels need to be trued, but wouldnt i notice it a slower speeds as well?

NVisible - The problem will get bigger as the wheels spin faster. You can pick up a cheap airplane prop balancer at a your LHS, and some poster putty, and use that to balance your tires. I would recommend doing the rears as well.

kvrc - At all tracks we use a body reamer to make the existing holes about 1/4 inch in diameter.

Mafia - I've never seen anyone remove it..it's ok to leave it there.

Troy - First time I beat you in TC..you gotta give up on-road for life. Deal?

I used to race TC all the time! Never on carpet though.

I would need a TC to be able to run it . I really don't know if I'll be making an entrance into the on-road world for a while, I might have a deal lined up to race 1/8th scale buggies next year.

Josh - I'm not too sure if I should be saying that as of yet..the deal is nowhere near set in stone.

I will say this much..they don't make a gas truck.

Aaron

Great thread! I haven't run electric truck for about 10 years. However, Jimmy B will be having an "over 40" stock truck class at the HRH Shootout this year. I am purchasing a MF xxxt (not MF2) just to run it and was hoping I could get your stock setup from last year emailed to me. Motor setup and gearing would be great if you can let those secrets out!

Thanks buddy!
