carnageUK Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 Ok guys a few Qs whilst waiting for my scotty g320 . What's the stock setting for the scotty g320 carb wt1107 What's a good run in for the engine The rear hub pin that holds the hub to lower arm ,can I replace it with a bolt and lock nut , those e clips look iffy . Cheers dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyknight Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Tried the bolt method with multiple tensile strengths and snapped them all! Now I'm using irc pins with a small flat spot ground inn them and then the hex wrapped in a hostile boot cut up. Seems to be working well at the moment.

flatout! Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Lol! I was just woundering about that lol! Wish I could afford the ubbers to put on the front 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnageUK Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 Don't think about it just order them ,, and come on lads read the post about the vipers on the front ,,lol,, Mark just fitted a savox to throttle / brake and its chattering when it's in neutral ,only does it for a few secs the stops ,, any ideas ?

andyknight Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 My savox 7.4v steering servo does it all the time even with the front wheels off the ground. No idea what it is, hitec 7.4v did the same which the savox replaced. I did think the dead zone on the servo needs messing with using a servo programmer thingy but never got round to doing anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
