martin34 Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 That's a shame mate.I am sure it will be worth it in the end tho.Theres not a lot I can do to mine at the mo as it was prebuilt.They had set the gear mesh way to tight tho and somehow rounded the allen head while building it.I had to take it into work to get the bolt out.Another tip is if you ever need spares such as whells,tyres,forks basically any of the parts that are the same on the nitro and electric model buy x rider parts.Exactly the same but a lot cheaper.

martin34 Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Looking good mate.I mount the rear shock in a different mounting to the stock position at the top.I use the back lower hole.It gives it much better suspension travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian w Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 How stiff is your front suspension. No guidance in the instructions. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin34 Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 I set mine up by loosening the two bottom grub screws.Fully compress the forks holding the wheel rite at the top then while in that position do up the brushless screws.That way they should fully compress and spring back freely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian w Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Not at the moment waiting for things to arrive. Now got a nimh battery 7.2 volts and 1600mah about the same size as a LiPo. Also wasn`t happy with the throttle/brake set up so got a better servo and servo horn for it. All arrived this morning so should be able to make some progress now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin34 Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 is the nimh for the e gyro?Could the battery be used for the radio aswell?Hopefully you could put some pics of your throttle/brake set up once done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
