I dont have an accurate enough scale at the moment, my litte scale only goes up to 2000g

was doing a makeshift track around my yard- trees as turning posts. Clipped one just barely enough to brake my right front a-arm.. the cold didnt help any by making everything brittle.

Wow! I just got my v3, its amazing geared 12/66 for 42 mph. with 45 degree weather nothing broke 100 degrees! I love it... 42 seems slow to me
I think i can use these tires on my new rims, but the foams are messed up.. truck bounces at wot..

would anyone know why my truck pulls to the right under accel?

[brushlessboy16]

12t Pinion is no longer- can be used as a shank now
Ordered a 13t Rcm hardened gear- that was shipped out from mike today.

In the mean time- i was running my 16t hardened and its fine on the steel spur. My MMM's fan has yet to come on. Got the motor up to 130* running out on the front lawn.. Can i tell you how much i adore DSM radios.. it was 31 degrees outside and i was sitting up in my room driving from the window.(kind of sucked when the truck flipped over down the street )


I got to Weight the truck- little on the hefty side, 9lbs without batteres.

Going goo soo far

Lol.

Anyone know any good online store that sells Cen parts in europe? Need front suspension arms, mx009.

[brushlessboy16]

Not sure about europe...I know Tower hobbies ships internationally.

I think i have decided to go R/c racing at trax 70 in the 09 season. I think im in the clear, would only need a couple things
-servo
-more batteries(zippies most likely)
-Wheels and tires.
-faster charger


Also I just got my 4 dollar set of wheels from Killer hobbies , Also ordered 17mm hubs off ebay. now i just need some tires.


*my pinion and hubs should be home when I get there.*

Thanks

Yikes, Im just glad nothing else broke on mine- shocks arent bent- neither is the dog bone.

yah.. it was 28 degrees when i was running the truck.. it doesnt supprise me.


I had just tweaked the steering linkage for more throw. and was messing with the dual rates and endpoints... needless to say that the truck turns a whole lot tighter now :D

No i just need tires with some life left in them and I will be good
