VIDEO - My Xpro tonight at CML Raceway
Just to point out - this car is setup EXACTLY as per the manual, kit shock oil, positions, camber links - everything!
Running Proline M3 Ribs and Bowtie rears, Novak 6.5 B/L and Reedy Lipo. I tried backing the slipper off but it's a wheelie machine, needs some weight in the front and a bigger pinion but i was really impressed with how it went straight out of the box! (No broken T-piece either)..... Vid1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ukmfo4RL2LY Vid2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wY3RKkYNY-U |
Someone get Lee to get the lawnmower and weedkiller out!!! LOL

Yea, needs a few more racers down there, that back tripple always catches em out, looking good tho Nick.

Also need to play around with gearing / slipper as it was wheelie central all over the place, obviously the lack of weight doesn't help but once i get that side of things right i'll start playing with set-ups :-) |
I think I got 40g on the servo, and about the same stashed in the rear, the slipper isn't helped by such a big nut either, so the adjustment is a bit agricultural.

Will have to look at the slipper as i backed it off a lot but it didn't seem to make that much difference really....... May have to look at the B4 set-up and see if there's a way to convert it - the standard Spur wasn't very true anyway so i wouldn't mind changing. |
you would have to ream the plates out a little, but should be too hard, I have used an old wheel nut, as it has less fridtion, so easier to adjust. Might look into the DB-01 slipper unit.
Yes, LiPo, and a light one at that, I am waiting for the brass trays. |

Two places - very first issue of Racer I bought and very first issue of Auto RCM (French magazine) that I bought when I lived in St Gaudens which had the 1998 Teeside Euros in it. The shell is in both and your name is on it. Fortunately you had switched to the Pred for the 2001 Euros or else we would not have let you anywhere near the track :D Cheers Graeme |

I know this is an old thread so i may not get answered but i need to know one thing. Why does my x pro nose dive on jumps????
|
have you got the rebound in your back shocks set right ?? cos if it is not it might be pushing the front down cos the backs too stiff

the car don't come with much anti-squat on the rear, you need to add some, for it to jump better too, but that does mean, modifying the rear of the chassis, to gain clearance.
