Great action shots… :gasp:

Your buggy is looking great in flight, very flat :yes: and you didn’t brake anything..

Outstanding weekend...

Temps 140-150 aren’t those a little high?. :neutral: What’s your gearing?.

Have a great one and thanks for the killer update..:party:

No breakage on anything apart from the tyre coming off the wheel. Yeah the motor temp is a little high and I am running a 14T/46T which is 44mph. Might put a 15T in (47mph) and see if they go any lower? As it is only the motor that is running hot

o damn. i really hope i dont have heat issues!! where abouts in australia? i will be only racing in 6 minute races but i ordered a 2D smooth, as no one told me if the finned one fitted :( on 4s, i got a 12t,13t and 15t with the 46t.

btw, what is 160*F in *C??

and can you hold your hand around it for as long as you want (10sec+) or is it like instant burn! and what is the max safe neu temp? thanks,
ryan

(and sorry for the random questions!)

Im in Central Queensland (near Rockhampton) .
The say that 150F should be the hottest temp for motors and if only the motor is hot it usually means it is undergeared.
160F = 71.11C

looks like im going to buy yet another gadget! whats the best priced, yet reasonably accurate temp probe/gun, landed in australia? tower has pretty expensive. the duratrax one seems popular? why? $45 is how much my LHS wants for one...

neu motors are good for 200f any higher then you have problems, they shouldnt see over 150 tho really

Hi, what setup are you (and everybody else) that is driving the 8ight using? shock oil and so on? I just got my 8ight converted (1 hour ago) and it feel kind of "loose" I dont know the right word, but the oppisite of stiff *lol*. Would 45 in front and 40 in the back be a god place to start?

I have a kyosho buggy and i use 35 in the back a and 40 in the front...

I use the Duratrax one, probably popular as their cheap and been around for a while now. Most stores charge around $45, they go for around $39 on ebay but by the time you pay freight it ends up $45 anyway. Best to support your LHS anyway

Anyone know how many diffs you can fill with 1 tube of diff fluid?

I could fill all three of my diffs with one of those, and still have about half left. Mine is a 30cc tube.

It looks like your rear tire came off in this pic?

Yeah it did, but I managed to get a few more laps out before it fully came off, lol

Wow. :lol: Was it all, "blub, blub, blub, blub" all the way through the track?

lol, I actually got 30 minutes more before it came apart. The track was so rough I didn't really notice it till it was nearly off
