The reason being is that upon reflection, I'd say now that we needed to go up in pack on the front end from where we were during testing because the car could become a little grabby on the front end on indoor carpet when the grip comes up. Our initial testing was outdoors during the winter when grip was generally lower - I think 4 hole 56s would be too much pack for our circuits over here but the 55s would possibly give a good starting point and give you the option of going further up in pack if needed or down in pack if you needed the front end to work a bit more actively over ruts and bumps.

To be honest - I think we achieved a pretty reasonable 'starting' set up for the mid car during our testing but I'm sure that now the car is out, people will develop it and hone the set up and go faster - I'd not say we were perfect but we ended up with a very consistent and balanced car that as easy to drive.

Was that the answer you were expecting?

Yes the reason behind running a smaller or bigger hole piston makes sense. But the suggested setup you included on the first page has 6 x 56 pistons with 25 wt or 4 x 56 with 27.5 wt.

If the piston hole stays the same size but there are fewer holes I would expect to need lighter oil to keep the dampening the same.

Squeeze the end of it with some pliers, only a little

[Kit Jones]

These roll pins are meant to be tight so that they wont fall out, but if you have trouble fitting it then squeeze one end of the pin gently with pliers to close it up slightly. The end that you have compressed will then fit in and make it much easier to push the pin through the rest of the way with pliers.

Where the hell are you meant to put your electrics ??????????

I can't even fit my Tekin RS on the ESC plate !!!!!!!! and thats a small ESC !!!!!!!!!!!

Now the RX has to go over the motor and all the wires that run from the ESC to the motor have to be bunched up with the motor wires, ESC RX wire and arial !!!!

Just crap.

Does anybody want to buy my car? I've only built it, nothing else at all £175

You should have stuck with it fella, ive fitted a Tekin in mine

pesonally in the pic above im gona mount my receiver the same but remove the one leg of battery support to allow for extra room as in saddle formation the legs do not have a use

I think that's a good idea. I'll use mine a few times and then redo

[mes]

I think have the same servo (1251?), transponder and esc ready for installation. I'll probably switch the position of RX and speedo so that I don't have to route the antenna near the power cables. I hope the Sanwa 451 will fit in properly between the servo and the saddle packs.

[jampat2004]

hi can anyone tell me please which numbered servo horn do i use on a new slim savox 1251 and how many servo spacers are needed,cause the servo horns seem very tight to fit and dont want to force one on
thanks

[mes]

Use the Futaba servo horn and the Spektrum spacers. The 1251 is identical to the Spektrum low profile servo.

[Timee80]

its the 25t horn mate. Mine was stiff on too. I had to shave the rear of the ball cup that attaches to the horn to get full lock both ways. Do this first!

[ianjoyner]

In the base UK setup on PetitRC I don't think it shows the camber link position and spacers on the rear hub. Have you got this Andy?
