  1. Wondering about the sway bar and its affect on handling My first run was on 3S and Hobbywing Fusion, my word its quick!….but it falls over turning under power, a lot, so I ordered 120mm shocks, Desert Lizards and set them up for droop, 1/3 spring height above the shock piston and 2/3 below, the front axle just clears the bottom of the cage on full compression. It is now significantly lower and turns better, but is still quite prone to lying down for a rest when cornering hard… I think I will disconnect the sway bar and see if it makes any difference, I doubt there will be much torque twist with the ridiculous amount of droop I have Theres is obvs a learning curve to get the best of of this beast Im wondering if the sway bar affects cornering? Perhaps the tyres are too grippy? Thoughts? Treal links and servo saver Hobbywing Fusion/3S 120mm Desert Lizard shocks, set up for droop (not full droop) with longer lower links, 30 weight oil which is probably a bit too thick, might try 15, 4 hole pistons, medium top spring, soft lower…
  2. Just about finished my Ryft kit, need to tidy the wiring and paint the body panels, but I have a question, where the upper links mount on the chassis frame there are height options, to raise the link pivot point up or down, what difference does moving the links make? Cheers!
  3. Im looking for a bit more scale than tue Kamtec Good suggestion though, they have their place…
  4. WTB please any variant of Tamiya Beetle body, Blitzer, Scorcher, Monster A long shot, but if you dont ask…. Now sorted, thanks to those who messaged
  5. A bit of an odd request, Im looking for two matching Nitro car cylinder heads for a project where Im making a dummy vee twin engine and the two cylinder heads will become the “cylinders”, so it doesn't matter what they are as long as they are the same. Have a rummage ladies and gents! Thank you..
  6. Thanks, no idea of the part you describe, so off for a surf, they look like they could work, thanks!
  7. Not exactly, but I could possibly make it work, thanks!
  8. I have a project in mind (reverse trike) that needs a non driven wheel hub, that will take an SCX10 style wheel, think motorcycle wheel, hub bearing each side, axle through, except instead of spokes a flange to take the RC wheel Does such a thing exist please? Thank you!
  9. Ive got these jokers, assembled but never used, make me an offer?
  10. Wanted please Gmade R1 transmission set (GM51200) in good usable condition.
  11. Epic fail! The motors are too long and collide with the suspension links! Real shame as it could have been a nice compact low cg set up....
