First Run 8XL 14 Cell

http://www.rustyonline.net/4.wmv

56k Beware!

This is unedited and the setup isn't perfect yet, but as far as first test runs go, I am very happy!

Thanks to Mike and all of the forum members for the help!

I burned a 9920 and 12020 with the original 8xl. It never ran like this!

It has taken a long time but I am happy now!:027:

Looking good. Nice servo you have there to. :)

What CVDs are you running, and arms? Seems to be high up!

Don't know about run time yet. That vid is the only run so far.

Looks like you need to get a new slipper, like a Robinson maybe

Yep. I have a Strobe. Hopefully I'll have time to install today.

Hi Biga!

Looking good! nice and smooth. (except for the braking part perhaps.. :p )

Just out of curiosity;

why do you use 8 firm springs? really no need for it, you can do with 4 of them, and the coil-overs. so what's the use of having 8 of them? have you got the coil-overs?

Nice truck! :003:

Nice truck! Ill race yah!

Not to hijack here, but does robinson carry a mod1 51 by any chance, and is the robinson strong enough to hold the torq?

[coolhandcountry]

Robinson does make a mod a pitch gears. It fits a mgt but will fit a maxx as well. They are metal though. I have not noticed a plast one out. The strobe is a better set up IMO.

That is a nice truck. Looks to run nice. I see you try to be smooth with the trigger. Hard to drive with front tires off ground.

Nice truck, whats your shock setup on it? Hoping i'll get similar stability with mine. I have the Integy shocks with 4 firm UE springs and 4 soft UE, with heavy oil.

You need to get that Strobe on there! Its a nice price of kit. I liked the Robinson Racing slipper as well, I used one till I got a Strobe.

Thanks guys.

I am running 8 powerstrokes w/ 70 wt front and stock oil in the rear. I am using the extra Firm Spring Kit on all 8.

I am planning on bashing, so weight is not a concern. I thought I would try with 8 and run some sag in the rear (negative travel). We'll see over time as I get brave and start jumping. @ $29/pair I thought it would be a worthwhile experiment. So far so good. You also must admit it looks sweet!! :027:

I hope this answers the questions.

Thanks again!
