The shorter arms are that way to accommodate the steering hubs. oh oki, saved me some money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XV Pilot Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Placing one of the internal diff gears between the other two to lock them is a common trick amongst the crawler/scaler community. It works well and is fully reversible, but is only really ideal on slow vehicles as it unbalances the diff, making it vibrate at higher speeds. You wouldn't want to do this on a drifter for example. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackHole Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 These shocks has something init on one side rather than just a whole. It doesn't fit in this car right? http://www.ebay.com/itm/4pcs-F-R-Shocks-Absorbers-Springs-Oil-Alum-For-WLtoys-K949-1-10-RC-Car-Gold-/331755188499?hash=item4d3e267113:g:6XYAAOSwOyJX45dt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 These are the ones I used on my WT-01. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/322242647654?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT You will need to get some shock oil for them though.

XV Pilot Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 These are the ones I use on mine: http://www.fusionhobbies.com/product/2330007-absima-95mm-1-10-aluminium-dampers-x2 Coupled with these of course: http://www.fusionhobbies.com/product/wd028-gpm-tl-01b-wild-dagger-alloy-front-rear-damper-mount The aftermarket dampers mount to the car using normal M3 screws, not the step screws supplied in the kit for mounting the stock dampers, hence the metal balls with 3mm holes in them at either end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackHole Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) Does a new shock absorber require a new shock mounts for the hight? Also how high can I go with shocks?? Edited October 22, 2016 by BlackHole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 85mm shocks will fit on the stock locations. If you want to go for longer shocks then new extended mounts will be needed. 100mm will fit if you add the extended mounts. John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackHole Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) Just finished the build but skiped some steps as I don't have a servo. The articulatin is not good. Springs are stiff and travel distance is small. I will buy them and change. Any suggestions for good servo?

Noj Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Been using the Flysky gt3b for some time now, not the quickest in response time, however, once lipo converted, it has been faultless and I like it for the money. Only downside (to me) is that hobbyking UK no longer sell compatible receivers (having ordered 4 I thought would work) so had to order from the European warehouse instead..

XV Pilot Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) Can't comment much on radios I'm afraid as I have no personal experience of any of the sets you are considering. All I can say is that the other Absima sets I have tried work well and feel solidly made, so hopefully the same can be said of the one you linked to. As for the shocks though, I wouldn't recommend going longer than 100mm, as anything taller raises the car's centre of gravity to the point that it becomes unstable and rolls a lot. 95mm to 100mm seems to be the sweet spot for shock length with the extended towers, giving the best compromise between articulation and stability.

johninderby Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) Fine with a NiMh battery and yes while you can run a 2s LiPo the ESC doesn't have a LiPo cut-off so you'll need to buy a cut-off alarm otherwise you'll kill the LiPo battery. Fortunately LiPo alarms are only a couple of quid on eBay. John Edited October 25, 2016 by johninderby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
