S2 build questions

[DaveG28]

Hey all,

Couple of quick questions on the S2 in case I need to order some stuff before finishing the build!

Servo Mounting: Do the B4 ones work for fitting the servo to the car?

Shocks: Planning to run Losi shocks, on the front I am using the Atomic shock tower, as far as I can see on the top of the shocks I need to use the nuts as per the instructins, then the thicker Losi top bushing, to make sure the shock clears the tower, does this sound sensible? Are people using the associated stuff on the bottom of the shck shaft to make sure it fits in the arms well?

Thanks guys, oh and love this kit!!

Dave

Ye B4 servo mounts are what most people run & you can run the losi shocks like you say.
O & Losi shock bottoms are fine to

next question!

When putting spacers between the gearbox and motor mount plate (on the 2 screws), are you mean't to use 5mm of spacers, 3mm, or 2mm?

Also, do you not grease the idler gears etc, neither b4 instructions or s online guide show it?? If greased, wha grease is good to use?

spend plenty of time building the gearbox a very small amount of grease can be used, i used black grease also the spacers i used are bj4 spacers that fit the top deck to the gearbox

Short wheelbase, I just found the piece of paper explaining how to do the rear hinge pins, it had me well confused!

before you chop em up i found the forward brace on the gearbox (the chunky one) needs to be drilled through and hinge pins cut to suit,this stops the rear arms coming adrift during the race

One more qucik question guys, has anyone had issues with the spur gear being exposed? Are people cutting away the bodyshell and running the B4 gear cover over the motor plate or leaving the S2 shell over the gearbox and oping dirt doesn't get into the spur/pinion mesh?

I've done it using the S2 shell to cover it, but does look like bits of carpet ma find there way into the mesh!

i ran mine all year with the shell covering it, no probs. some people do it the other way mind. personal preference there mate!
