The 8 shocks are smaller, so when I had an 8 tower on the back of my VSE, it preloaded the shocks and the chassis wouldn’t bottom out. It worked okay but the even with the standard springs it was a LOT stiffer. Sent from my Snosberry

The rear 7 UJ driveshafts are compatible too (but can’t replace the fronts VS CVD’s)[emoji1474] Sent from my Snosberry

Received my braces. Little works of art, however, just be aware that due to the machining, you will need shorter screws to attach them to the chassis, as (I’m guessing) due to the lower profile design, the original screws will bottom out in the brace before they’re tight Sent from my Snosberry

Slightly firmer. The orange are 1kg/cm, the kit ones are 0.8kg/cm I believe. Sent from my Snosberry

I think he’s saying that on 4s, you can gear higher on a 2000kv than you can on a 2650kv. Sent from my Snosberry

There’s loads of fans and heat sinks on eBay and in various model shops, like this; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/401215641099. Cut some holes in your body too- it’s so hot outside atm that it probably needs some airflow. As for battery heat shrink, measure the circumference of the battery and get some heat shrink 5-10mm bigger. Just trial and error, if the batteries are getting so hot that they are melting the heat shrink should tell you something about the way the buggy is running, or the way you’re using it.

Just sold I’m afraid. Sent from my Snosberry

Motor fan and/or heatsink? That is a HUGE battery dude, probably very heavy, which won’t help. Sent from my Snosberry

Ec5 or Xt90 are popular. But if you’re melting Deans then you’re either; a) you’re overgeared, or not geared for the terrain you’re running on, or running on the wrong terrain- such as long grass something in the drivetrain is binding c) you’re not letting the buggy cool down between runs- have you cut any cooling holes in the body? d) you’re using the throttle/brake like an on/off switch. I’ve run Deans on every plane, heli and car I’ve had in the last 15 years and never had an issue. Sent from my Snosberry

Sorry, I’ve not run 5s in a buggy. My bash mate uses 4s, we get similar run time. Sent from my Snosberry

I get 20-25 mins runtime using the stock motor with YR cooling fans. Fairly continuous running, jumps etc. I’ve got my punch set to 1. Plenty fast enough! Sent from my Snosberry
