ticky Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Good work there. Just been setting mine up and have been considering various mods. Have already replaced the shock ends and caps with the gt14b version. What servo saver you running with the savox and was it a straight fit.

mainamigo Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) Says on their modded servo mounts to fit Had to basically dremel a couple mm off either side of the mount and done Saver is a kimsbrough although it didnt fit the spline properly, had to force it on a bit Edited May 16, 2012 by mainamigo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neiloid1 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Very nice shell and worth the wait, where did you get it done in the end? Is that it for mods now? Hope you continue to get the good results you were getting, she must be pretty dialed now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainamigo Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 Ye i did pretty well indoors against the 10th scale buggies, but I've got a b44.1 now so I use that, struggling for places to race the mini 8ight, its become a shelf queen m8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neiloid1 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Shelf Queen ! If you want to off load any carbon or aluminum just let me know Good luck with your 1/10 ventures - got a linky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainamigo Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 i put the whole car up for sale this week, not had a lot of interest, i think its too pricey. You'll know the money thats gone into it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neiloid1 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 If you still have the stock parts you'd make more converting it back to RTR or a roller and selling off the upgrades. Takes more time but makes more money. I'd take the CF upper chassis brace and CF rear shock mount for a start - if you're interested bung me a PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainamigo Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 I took it racing last night. It's too nice to sell man, I'm gonna keep it. I kinda fell in love with it again. Check this out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ticky Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Thanks for getting back to me. My friend is running 12t and found the top speed slow I was going to suggest 16t but its good to see how a 14t runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldblades7 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 so what is the stock spur/pinion ratio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainamigo Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) I think its 17T pinion with a 56T-58T spur Edited May 28, 2012 by mainamigo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
