OK thanks mike. Have to give it a try and see what happens. I hope it drives even better. I have to say them ue shocks seem to be the stuff. Not as pretty as the msr5. I think i need to stiffen springs up a touch to. The arms are a little down in the inside. I take care of alignment first. If I get a chance to get another video I get it up.


Peace!

The UE shocks work extremely well. I use four shocks, with red srpings and about 90 weight oil. For 8 shocks, I would use about 50 weight oil and the white springs to start with.

Yeah, the UE shocks are very good! i use them in sets of 4 too, a 8 shock setup with those shocks is not needed.

I went with the eight setup. 50 weight oil. I tried the red and white springs. It seemed a little soft. I steped up to blue and red an the corners. Man does it ride good. Something done went crazy in reciever or something. Truck gone crazy on me. You do 10 endos and it goes bezerk go figure. Have to fix it now.

Receiver is good. Ubec has shorted out on chassis made truck go crazy. Steering servo has turned on way and won't stop. Have new servo and Ubec. Have to take back out for test drive.

Had it shrinked and then taped around it to. One of the soldering points stuck through and bam. Instant toast. This is like the thrid or forth servo though. I going to switch brands. See if I have better luck.

I got the ubec fixed. Put another servo on. The truck has been doing great. I like it even more now than before. Drives excellent. Looks as if it floats over the bumps. Have run a few more packs threw it this weekend. Had only one problem. Pole jumped out in front me. Minor damage. Broke end on turnbuckle. Have to say thanks mike and all my supporters. :D Can't wait to try bigger motor. :cool:
