eatthis Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 fixed the drive shaft stripped it out of the car completely then hammered it perfectly straight so theres no wobble at all now. while testing it i lost a bloody wheelnut and nearly broke my flippin leg with it too lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locky Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Finished brushless conversion on my ST and it's sunny so just got it dirty. Just need to choose new body shell, which needs to be wider than standard shell due to using Mugen sideguards Any ideas for a shell that fits?

locky Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I see a few have used the Jconcepts Punisher shell. Not sure which one it is as different versions and ones I've come across are nitro version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Hong Nor big bores on mine, and despite working great on the H7 on the ST Pro they allowed just a little too much upward travel and I was forever popping the driveshaft out the cup on the front diffs. Most annoying as they we're great. Whether these would work you'd need to check total length and amount of travel (though that can be adjusted a little with limiting cables etc). They look pricey to me considering plastic bodies. other than having plastic adjusting rings you might be better off considering Hyper SS shocks - the ebay breakers will prob have a glut of them soon now the VS is about.

locky Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Trying to fit a ST Pro front brace to a RTR ST but it's not a direct fit and not sure whether to mod the plastic tower or the brace. Anyone fitted one and how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hound Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 just an extra hole needed in chassis? countersink it and use a nut and bolt to match. Sorted ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chassis holes line up with the lower brace holes but the front upper brace hole does not line up with hole in shock tower, and the tower is too low pushing down on the brace. which doesnt sit flat on chassis. Nothing appears bent or out of line/position. So best option is to cut the plastic shock tower and drill new hole. Thought these parts were meant to be a direct replacement.

locky Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 After looking further the Pro front brace is taller at the front by about 3mm, with the holes lining up, so will cut the plastic tower to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locky Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Removed plastic material on shock tower on underside and now Pro front brace sits flat and holes line up. So conclude that the Pro front brace is not a direct fit on ST RTR with plastic shock tower, but you can mod the tower to make it fit without any major problems.

locky Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Does anyone know what pinion size range you can use with the motor mount from mfp using a 52T spur? The SSe motor mount restricts use of bigger pinions like 18T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SSe motor mount restricts use of bigger pinions like 18T Do you have his original or slightly bigger revision? With his original the biggest I fitted was a 20T, though an aquaintance said they got a 21t on. Pic below is with the 20t I believe (though not in an ST, it's the same mount and the ST's centre diff): 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
