I run my Medusa 36-70-2000 at 8 - 10 degrees and my CC/Neu 2200 at 10 degrees and that has given me best results for temps and run times.

good point..i did run my Medusa at 10 deg. Well I may have to up my timing on my 1520 and see what happens. Although, at 0 timing, I have had no issues w/temps

Here's a couple pics. No mod's required really. (please excuse the doggie bags in the background....)





I've got a build thread in the General section for this and my LST.....woulda put them in a better place.....but it appears that this site hates Losi....

Nice build... when can we see it in motion?

If you have a laptop, pick it up and turn real fast to the right!!!!

I dont have anything that shoots video well enough to pick up the speed on these - just something we never invested it. Maybe in a month or so I'll see if my brother in law can do some taping - he's got one of those 5K professional video cams. Only issue with him is that it always takes a year for him to get the vids back to me. By then, that RC is usually long gone!!!!

Yah!! ... I know the feeling... been wanting to get some new vids of mine too... but it's really hard to depend on someone to do it for you when they're going to take forever to hand over the vid.

Site has good taste.

My 1520 is ordered ;) Just finished to adjust shimming of my MBX5T's diffs. The chassis is ready to eat the torque of the Castle beast ;)

No, Project X is the best.

V1 MMM Pushing 6s to a 1520 on 15/54 in a RC8T.


I had my 1520 up to 130*F after a hard 15 min of off-road & street runs. Here some videos of the run.

Off-road, sorry for the shaking, I had my camera mounted on top of my TX and was walking into position.

.. nice!... that thing moves around well... what timing/punch setup are you using? do you know its weight?

Looks like a whole lot of fun man... thanks for sharing

[bruce750i]

Thanks, I went and pulled the settings. 0% punch, 60% brake, 13 for timing. It weighed in around 12lb RTR and 120k CD fluid. 13 for timing sounds a little on the hot side, I dropped it down to 9 to try next time.

Sweet! Clearly those (savage) tires are taped, right? Otherwise...

[nuz69]

According Castle, best efficiency is reached when timing is between 2-4.
