Did you ever get an answer to this? If you plan on using the smaller 2 hole pistons I'd go with 60 F & 40 R. And, I'd at least run Blue springs on the front.

Yes i did. Mike said he uses the white springs with the oil that the manual says to use for the build with the single hole piston. I have the two hole pistons all ready installed . so i bumped up the weights a little. I put 60 in the FR & 35 in the RR. I dont have the white springs so i installed the blue springs.


James the motor runs cold with the kit tires & a 12/46 gear . So im going to try the same gear first. If the motor gets hot then i'll gear down, to a 11 or 10 tooth.

thank you sean

Very nice, hippie!

I just got mine out yesterday and the rear left turnbuckle shaft got stripped out of the ball link( at full throttle the car got out of control and flew like fan in the air).

I'm using 1930/5(4180rpm), a Mamba Max, 4s1p 2500mah Evo25, 13/46 gearing and slick panther truck tires with the standard crt.5 rims.

Definitely a crazy ride!

Looks great. That thing must be crazy on 4s . what body is that & how do you like the fit ?.

[captain harlock]

That's the nitro rustler's body. It needs alot of mods( not really) to make it fit.

Getting fed up - First run of the weekend and broke the steering servo saver again at the linkage to the steering link...

This is the third time and fed up of having to spend $10 each time on a bunch of parts I don't need. Anyone else having this?

I'm having some issues with differential oil weights. I have two problems.
1. The back end of the car kicks pretty badly in whoops under 3/4 throttle or higher. Not too bad at 1/2 throttle or lower.
2. Exiting turns on power it develops a bad push and gets worse the more power you try to use.

I've tried both the follow oils (F/C/R) 3/3/1 and 2/4/1. The 3/3/1 seemed to be a bit better, but not a big difference. Any recommendations?

I run 1/1/500 or 50w shock oil in the rear. This works very well for me.

This is the setup i use

The FR swaybar is not used in that setup.

What kind of track do you drive? Loose, high bite, rutted, smooth, big jumps, tight, open, etc?

I was under the impression that the 1k/1k/500 was good for a lower torque nitro motor with a clutch, but the high torque instant power of electric does better with thicker oil. I never did try the 1/1/500. I just went to the 3/3/1 that other electric conversions were recommending.

My track is medium to high traction blue groove with a light cover of dust7 smooth to slightly rough. Im using a 7s on 2s lipo.
