on the rear oils from 25 to 35 singel and dubble drild pistons. low and high roll center. every position on the rear rocker arms. the front the same more and less caster . puchrods on top off yoke or on the bottem. and this is how I ended. front caster 3 shims on the rear off the upper arm. puchrods on top of yoke . shocks oil 40 new piston. yellow springs 0 degree camber . the rear bottem hole off hub ( low rollcenter to give more drive) shocks in the middle position on rocker. oil 35 new piston red springs 0 degree camber I think thats about it. the car feld good at several moments but wasent fast at all. whith the last setup the car was lose at the rear too lose but its averidge whas axepteble. any help would be great

Try the rear like this..
Soft pistons 30wt lower hole on hub (think you are there already Lower hole on rear tower Red spring. Make sure you don't have more droop on the front than the rear. Also make sure your rear diff isn't slipping or tight... I had a similar issue recently and it turned out to be the rear diff. Are you running anything under the balljoint on the front hub?

had a phone-call with Bart (Phoenix of Feniks).
Seems his problems came from a bad batch of Losi-tyres. He was not the only one having troubles ... and when they mounted some older, worn tyres, they were significant faster then with the "new" ones. Unfortunatly, Bart did not have any rims left ... so couldn't mount some new tires with some GOOD losi-tires ... and he drove with his older Yokomo 4WD B-Max. He managed a podium-place nevertheless. Well done, Bart. |

Thanks for the link Nathan. Do you have your servo laid down or straight up?
|
#177
|
||||
|
||||
layed down. i copied kev and made a carbon mount for my servo then bolted that into the car otherwise one of the servo mounts is either in or very close to a batteryslot so is a very weak mount unless you do this. as a rough guide i leave a 4mm gap between the servo and motor for the sensor wire. for motor removal i then remove the 2 motor mount screws and the "jesus screw" and take the complete assembly out. this gives more room for the speedo

at Spenner, about your setup:
front push-rods: do you know how long the turn-buckles were (measurement between the two ball-heads)? Pistons: front and rear: old ones ... but are those the ones with 1 or with two holes? (.. and then drilled to 57-hole)? Rear locked shaft (in stead of diff): how do you get a locked shaft (and diff with glue instead of diff-balls and grease??) and why did you use it? What are the advantages of a locked shaft? and ... thanks for sharing! |

front push-rods: do you know how long the turn-buckles were (measurement between the two ball-heads)?
The measurement is different for each car, basically equal droop on the front. The wishbones will be at max droop. When the car is compressed at the front it should bottom out and you will just be able to raise each wheel. I will get the measurements but i can tell you it is different for each car as mine is different to Kev's. Pistons: front and rear: old ones ... but are those the ones with 1 or with two holes? (.. and then drilled to 57-hole)? Pistons are 1 hole with extra 57 hole drilled, and run 57 drill through current hole. Rear locked shaft (in stead of diff): how do you get a locked shaft (and diff with glue instead of diff-balls and grease??) and why did you use it? What are the advantages of a locked shaft? Not sure what i put down!!!! But i am running the diff in front and rear with the locked prop shaft. So permanent 4wd. Hope this helps.... Spenner

I'm doing a full rebuild this weekend, I'd be interested in knowing what you've done to the front hinge pin holder. Cheers mate
