same 5 or more mm longer bolt

[henzy190]

I used a longer bolt, a locking nut and hell loads of threadlock. Sorted fine now.

What steering servos do you guys use? im still on standard but even with the hump pack it feels like it stuggles a bit??

[Stormbringer]

im still using the standard servo's but find it ok

[HUNTER.P]

ace ds1015 on the steering and sf-2 on the throttle

[Bmw_Bod]

Need to upgrade my servo's, not enough brake power and steering too slow.

I also have numerous nuts coming loose, very frustrating...

They are great truggies when you upgrade them to be a bit tougher..

Check out my short video of my truggy catching some big air, nailed a sweet flip but not great angle by camera man.. enjoy...

[Stormbringer]

good vid

what hop ups have you on yours ?

[henzy190]

brilliant vid!

I'm gonna try and get some Savox servos, will help loads. The steering does struggle!

Real nice spot you got there, i dont have any bmx tracks near me. Although there is one, but its flat

Agreed, that is a real nice spot! I think I have some tracks near-ish to me, but I don't know where they are at all so wouldnt know.

Not sure what servo's I will use, need plenty of torque.. Let me know any recommendations.

I've swapped all screws for slightly longer ones with a locking nut, no more trouble, no more driveshaft breakages since swapping to trophy buggy style one's.

My engine started to stall when I was braking so I adjusted the idle to stop it happening. Turns out it was my glow plug on its last legs, dropped a new one in and returned idle settings to normal again.

Other than that I have had no issues, which is good because I really give it some abuse.

Anyone got through a set of tyres yet, any recommendations for good replacement tyres or you all sticking with standard ones?

I'm going to get new tyres, they are about 50% worn and I need some for the CMCC astro track that don't grip-roll. Hot Bodies do a good range of tyres.

Servos, buy once and get a good one, not buy 10 crap ones at double price. Savox are good and likewise are Ace. Savox 1258 as steering?

[HUNTER.P]

I got 2x set of proline crimefigthers and 2x other sets. Plus the standard. Crimefighters have loads of grip

[HUNTER.P]

As said above I run a ace ds1015 reduced in wheelspin at the moment. never will look back. Although there are some on maxbashing going for sale, think there is a couple going for a bout 30 quid

how big in inches are truggy tyres? i think 2.2" but not sure.

edit~: just checked they are 4.0"

Awsome vid, my trophy gets here on monday so down to the local track for me, quick noob question though. How do you change the attitude of the truggy in the air, is it the same as bikes, throttle on to pitch up and brake to pitch down?

Generally you have to be doing a big jump to change the attitude of the car, useless over a bump. And you really have to think quick too. Not think as such, just do it, which takes practice, etc etc...
