Mines always ran in the centre

2.8 but im going to need some hub extenders as the just rub on the top of the wheels. Where did you get yours from?

Well i had fun at the weekend and did some speed runs, i couldnt quite get full throttle as the std tyres were a bit sketchy, but managed to reach 75mph with an 18t pinion , i was in a car following behind which made it much easier to see what was going on. Badlands have just arrived and a 21 tooth pinion 😁

What springs and shock oils are people using? The std set up is great for soaking up hard landings but seems a bit stiff over uneven surfaces. I wish they would put what weight shock and diff oils the factory used in the manual

Well i had my 1st little issue yesterday at my local track. I lost steering which turned out to be the servo saver had loosened right off, so wasn't allowing the wheels to turn. So something to keep an eye on as its nice and visible. Nice quick fix reassembled with a bit of grease and back to bashing. As a side note, my mate has just bought one off ebay, and it came with a 19 tooth pinion 😮 needless to say it absolutely flies even on 3s so thats my next mod i think

Have you done any big jumps/hard landing with it? Ive heard of magnets failing because of that. Ive put a layer of silicone under the motor on mine, just as a bit of a softer cushion.

Ah great thanks for the replies, ill have a bit of an experiment with it

Just bought one of these myself, 1st 1/8th scale after always having 1/10th buggies. Absolutely love it. What diff oils are people using? I prefer a little understeer when on the buggy tracks, suits my driving style better. Oil filled diffs are a new thing to me.
