I'm trying to keep the rear end from swinging out under acceleration, do I tighten or loosen the diff?

[Tbone]

Hy Guys,
for those who run non loose dirt ... give the saddle configuration a try ...
It's really cool

Can anyone tell me a good starting point for gearing a Speed Passion V3 8.5? & also the settings for the Speed Passion GT2 esc, also if it needs any accessories etc, thanks!

[Tbone]

Hy,
gearing with the standart Spur will be the 23pinion but it also depend on the size of your track !

for the Sp speedo I ran it :
1
3
4

8

and it works great

Bit out of the FDR for the SP V3 motor I think? May have to re-look at my gearing again. I'm on a 78 /28 - FDR 7.2

Heres my oudoor setup. Let me know what you guys think or if there are any questions.
Forgot to add the longer screw and locknut as insurance for the steering bushing.
Note: -3 turns on front shock not rear.

[Raul Garcia]

This is a high bite clay setup. Let me know what you think.


I forgot to add long rear ball cups.

[Chris-S]

I ran mine box standard with slim stagger ribs, 7.5 and trishbits brass was great as it was.

Guys, I just wondering why you are reversing the arms? What benefit is it having?

Thanks

Front or rear?
Reversing the rear ones allow to mount the shocks on the rear on the wishbones
On the front, that gives you a wheelbase increase of 1.5mm

Arno we dont flip the rear arms just move the ball stud for the lower to the backside of the arm.
