RAcer X Set backs
 
Are these for the front and rear? or just the rear? Thanks! http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...etbackx&cat=47

sjcrss 09.14.2006 12:51 PM

they are for the rear only......but to use them you need the following
racer x upper arms
racer x knuckles
racerx link as well...
if you email me newe.....i can give ya a complete list of the stuff...

neweuser 09.14.2006 12:54 PM

You already sent me the list! LOL, but i was checking on these cuz i wasn't sure. Thanks man! Way cool. I bent an arm yesterday, noticed it when i cleaned her up....

sjcrss 09.14.2006 01:05 PM

I know i did...thought you might have forgot.....I might be able to help you out....drop me a email......but on another note....the racerx is nice...you will love it...

Serum 09.14.2006 02:27 PM

I've got a brand new racer-x, i am too affraid to drive it. I got a set of the flexteks to use now, instead of being shiney on my shelve...

neweuser 09.14.2006 02:35 PM

So you're not using the racer x set backs? Wanna let'em go?

Serum 09.14.2006 02:37 PM

No, i think it's more interesting to sell the entire set.

neweuser 09.14.2006 02:41 PM

that's what i mean.....the whole set, front and rear. But you don't wanna let'em go???

Serum 09.14.2006 02:42 PM

setbacks are 2 rear arms only, not front and back, I have got an entire racer-X set with setback arms i wanted to drop at once.

sjcrss 09.14.2006 03:38 PM

normal arms are in the front , while the setbacks are only in the rear...

neweuser 09.14.2006 03:39 PM

yup, got it! How much would you get rid of them for Serum? Just curious?????

coolhandcountry 09.14.2006 03:45 PM

How you like the flextech rene?
Don't you have the g maxx arms troy?

neweuser 09.14.2006 03:53 PM

I do, but bent one last night....i made it thru the bash jsut great, took some hard spills with no damage...but i was coming across the field last night and must have hit something, tumbled about 10 feet! Got her home, cleaned her up, and found a small bend in the front one....first time, but, makes me a little nervous now...i don't like breaking chit on my baby if you know what i mean!

captain harlock 09.14.2006 07:34 PM

I, too, am afraid of running my truck with the RacerX and setbackers carrying up my truck.
Its so shiny and neat you dont really want to scratch it.
Probably the sheer shininess is what made Papa sell his SuperGorillaMaxx.
Man, do I really have to get the VBS and just stare at it?

sjcrss 09.14.2006 08:39 PM

come on guys....did you build them to be a shelf queen or did you build them to run.....let me ask you this.....when you buy a new car....do you just leave it in the driveway, cause you are afraid to get it dirty or that you might end up in accident, hopefully not because you bought it to use it.....I once wrecked my new 2003 nean 3 times in a 1 year period.... deer #1....and yes that made me sick, but they fixed it, 6 months later deer #2........got that fixed...then less than 24 hrs later some Jerk runs me off the road during a snowstorm....and hit a 6" curb, tearing up my front lower control arm....that one made me madd, but they fixed it to.....I've had my emaxx for a long time just like you guys, and i have broke or bent stuff, but it can be fixed or replaced, that is just my thoughts.....it's only a truck and a hobby......I mean i really messed up my truck at the bash...just ask newe....and i found out my motor was toasted as well....did i get mad....no....cause it happens....I'm rebuilding it again...into a more effecient racer...sorry about the long post and rant....but that is my point of view...

neweuser 09.14.2006 10:08 PM

I agree to some extant. Those parts are a lot of money though. But i do build it to run it, and run it hard when i can
but there is an extent to this. i don't want to break something everytime i go out to run, especially when i put 3000.00 in my truck! anywho, shelf queens are nice, but i LOVE to run!!!!!!!!!!

sjcrss 09.14.2006 10:17 PM

i know what you mean..... especially about the parts...and yes they cost some $...but i enjoy running my truck as well.....it was built to be run and not be a shelf queen...

neweuser 09.14.2006 10:34 PM

Mine is both, but i have hard time kepeing it clean! LOL :)

captain harlock 09.15.2006 12:06 AM

You guys are absolutely right.
However...... ITS SOOO DAAAAAMMMMMN PRETTTTYYY.
Oh well, I do have to run it once I get my lipos, balancers and charger.

neweuser 09.15.2006 09:08 AM

Oh yeah! But as i've have always said, they are sexier with mudd on them!

Darren 09.15.2006 11:51 AM

I'm sinking tons of money into my truck, so I can run it hard without a problem!

Dont wanna scratch my vbs skids when they get here, but hey, use it, abuse it!

sjcrss 09.15.2006 11:53 AM

exactly my point....

neweuser 09.15.2006 11:54 AM

Yup. Not scratching the skids, that's a good one! At least not when you put them on! But after running!

Serum 09.15.2006 11:59 AM

The aluminum will be scratched. I rather see plastic scratched than aluminum, something no one can talk me out of my head..

neweuser 09.15.2006 02:48 PM

It's always better to scratch plastic as they are cheaper to replace. Would never talk you out of that!
