To be honest G i didnt notice it till you pointed it out

I'll get a good idea of if it has any effect this weekend, weather permitting!!
The steering does seem a little different mind, I reach full lock on it with only 50% EPA!! |

Dave, there doesnt seem to be much steering lock, but the car has plenty of steering on the track, if you need more though you can always dremel off the bit of hub that hits the castor block. I havent done this but i think kev has. I suppose its there if you need it

Just done the "dirveway" test before its first run tomorrow, its nice and quiet and a rocket in a straight line!!
Think maybe I should have followed everyones advice on the shock pistons though, looks very bouncy at the back, will play with springs/oil tomorrow! Has anyone found out the spring rates on the spring sets yet? Also, found any alternative pistons, bit worried about drilling mine without having spares! |

Dave,
As a starting point drill your pistons to 57 (black) in the front and 56 (red) in the rear. and run it on 30 wt oil all round with blue springs up front and reds at rear. you can always go slightly softer later but thats probably a good starting point and is pretty much what i'm running. I can post my setup here if you are interested but little things are changing all the time at the moment. If you are using losi pistons, take them out, you'll find very little difference between the different hole sizes because the oil is going round the edge of the piston (they are slighly smaller even if they do look close) Quote:

Cheers Kev, I don't follow the drilling bit though, is that sizes of hole your suggesting (57 etc)?
Would be great to see your setup, though maybe your right in that its best to wait until its settled first, I may pop over at Kiddy to ask where your ending up on setup though if thats ok? |

Dave, the drill sizes kev is referring too are an imperial size, 57, 56, 55 and 54, these are the size of the holes in the losi pistons 57 being the smallest hole (black) and 54 being the biggest (Blue)
last weekend i ended up epoxying the holes i had drilled in a piston and drilling some more, im 56 in the front and 556 in the rear. i have made a few changes to my car for tomorrow, so i shall be trying how kev ran his last weekend, i was quite close anyway but i used a losi front spring and was 5 wt thicker in the front. If you are racing at southport tomorrow come over, your welcome to have a good look at the car and pick my brains. Off topic but has anyone received the new plastic replacement bits yet? |

Cheers Lee, I'm at Ledbury tomorrow, at least until the rain comes!! Are you at Kiddy next week?
By the way, I have no scales at home, I assume it doesn;t come in underweight, I've never see a 4wd even close? Oh, and no, haven't had the plastic bits yet! Think they may still be working on the wheels though, and I guess they'll want to send it all at once! |

No probs dave, ill be there next week, the car is feeling good now, im sure you will be very impressed
|

Sorry guys, do you mean 57 is 0.057" drill bit?
Ran it today, and sadly struggled a little, defintiely with running stock pistons!! Got a bit better when I put my tamiya dampers on it (I don't have the correct drill sizes) although it still didn't like jumps!! Reasonably happy though, it was similar speed to the 501x I run by the end of the day, not a mile off anyway, and I think will get better once I get the dampers sorted! |

While on shocks, are you guys using extra washers to remove the play in the piston between the c clips? My pistons wobble but not sure if thats bad!?
|
#78
|
||||
|
||||
Dave, i did try a washer in between the piston and the clip, i didnt notice any difference to be honest when i did.
With regards to drill sizes its not as straight forward as you think but here they are #57 = .043" #56 = .0465" #55 = .052" #54 = .055" If you want some for kiddy, i can get you some, i have to go to the shop anyway. I ran mine again yesterday, it felt pretty good again but i was on BB greens as it was a bit damp, i only used it for 2 runs and when the track dried i got the B4 out to give it a run for kiddy. |

That'd be great thanks Lee! Any idea what the standard diameter is, is it less than 1mm?
|
#80

|

i didnt measure it but i would guess its equivelant to a losi natural which is .0400"/ 1.00mm
Ill pick some up on the way home on friday |
