What problems have you found with the shocks the quality of them is very good but the orings are a little tight so should be no need to run anything else

Shockers
 

They seem so stiff no matter what oil i try have seen the build tips that pete has done iam going to have a play around with them but with 25 in front and 20 in rear they were like a f1 car still which wasnt helping me grip wise at chadderton but wen i ran it on astro it was fine yesterday with these other shockers so i guess its about having to play with the shockers bit more

Sounds like you have the same issue i had with the o-rings.
Get a pack of the Yokomo High Grade Blue o-rings from MB Models, and a tube of green slime. They are a much better fit, and mine are super smooth now with these fitted.

Other than that, as Kev says, they are very good quality shocks

many thanks lads hoping to give ago this weekend going to try with both sets on I think and see how works noticed huge diff in the car when I put the AE big bores on seems to sit better when not so stiff

It will if ure o rings are too tight. No need for ae shocks.

Just shocks and esc still to go on mine...

Rs lou, what color is that body paint?

Ran the car over the weekend and was amazing very easy to drive, with zero problems or breakages. Just a few small set-up changes required before the next meeting. :thumbsup:

The colour is Tamiya PS-24 Fluorescent Orange and then backed in white, the shell does look a little red in the picture but it is Fluorescent Orange.

Hope this helps..........

people keep saying this car feels more like a 1/8 car, but to a person like me that has never run a 1/8 car what does that mean? I am not talking about the solidity of the design, nor how it looks, but about the way it handles. Is it a case that the cornering, jumping, and how it handles the rough stuff simply different, or is it better so to speak. Again is it a case that it suits a certain type of driver over another?
I only ask this as I was at Maritime last weekend where Kevin took the win - that said Kevin can drive anything and make it look good. I did see several others going pretty well too.

Body on stuby car.
 

Body fitted to the stuby conversion ready for this weekend at Broxtowe MCC Christmas Cracker meeting.

good luck, let us know how it went!

Lolz, his car is in the bathroom, I wonna bet he takes it everywhere he goes:wub

Haha no it's just the only room where I live with decent lighting!!

Gearing wise I have been running 23/86 on a 7.5 but it feels a bit off...should I be going up on pinion?

possibly... with my 6.5tekin Gen2 motor I go from 21T to 23T
for a 7.5 I would recommend anything from 22T to 24T

Itching for a shot, need to wait till 5th Jan for Worksop:(.

Like that a lot Colin .

I have been looking at these on and off . I reckon it's what Durango should have done.

The layout looks interesting. Good luck at Worksop.

Yes Paul, I was very underwhelmed at Durango's new offering and this has loads of new innovative ideas and Sworkz have had some decent results with their 1/8th car and I loved the look of it so thought what the hell....

I have build a fresh kit, for my son, in which I have put the esc behind the servo(low-profile). It should be better than on top of the servo.

I will be mounting the receiver in the back of the car. You can neatly wire the leads under the lipo's as they don't sit flat on the alu chassis ;-)

She's all done now: without body she comes in at 1734gr. and the left to reight weight ratio is exactly 50% when the PT is installed :-D
Shocks with cut bladders and yokomo high grade o-rings, f***** fantastic! Some titanium turnbuckles and Jconcepts ballends are still waiting to be assembled...

Mine finally done, thanks to Peter from answer rc for hooking me up. Need to get smaller esc, getting the speed passion gt 2.0 in wasn't easy.

I like the foam tires, how did you do it? I assume you bought 1/8 scale foams on tires and acetoned them down and glued them again.... Correct?

No just bought 1/8 foams and put then straight on, both my local clubs uses foam for tyres

NICE !! paint job...........:thumbsup:

Which foams? Which shop? Have been looking earlier into this, but without success so far(or I might have been looking in the wrong places).

http://www.racing-cars.com/sp/catego...ar_Donuts.html

Any of them depending on shore, used to used enneti donut foams which I think are a lot better, but since rc direct shut down havnt been able to find them anywhere :thumbdown:

You going to be running that beast at Ribble on Friday Dean?

Hopefully, depends what time i finish work

So the only place for the ESC on this car is on top of the servo ?

Unless you are going to use a low-pro servo. In that case you may be lucky and fit it in behind the servo depending on which speedo you are going to use. There is an upgrade kit coming out very soon which moves the cells and motor/spur assy nearer the rear of the car, which should allow the speedo to be mounted behind the servo and shift more weight to the rear for balance. This upgrade kit will also allow the use of a shorty battery on one side of the chassis with the motor mounted behind the spur assy which will free up a lot of space at the front and again change the balance and dynamics of the car. Im not sure if all new cars will come with the new chassis or if it will only be available as a tuning option.

tuning option I believe. But for £85 quid you get ALOT!
