Picture from Jconcepts site at the Midwest short course nationals. Saddle packs being used in the front. Interesting...

They way I messured it out it turns out to make the shock 2mm longer.

lol, you racing tomorrow? I got a new FT SC10 I'll be running so I don't know if I'll run my SC10 4x4 or not, only have one pack but I can charge it at 5C if I need to

Crap! I was planning to do the saddle packs just like this to balance the chassis. Looks like my idea works.

I had the same thoughts when I built mine, but I don't have the saddle packs to test with. You should be able to build a better ballanced chassis with out the need for so much weight.

Yep, I'll be at Mike's tomorrow. Got ahold of a 13mm rotor to try in my Tekin 7.5 540 motor for my 4x4.

How's that slipper nut? I changed a spur yesterday, and did a high torque pad at the same time. I guess I didn't tighten the slipper enuf, but it was just a little chirpy, didn't seem too bad. Next pack it got much worse, so I retightened it, maybe 7-8 threads showing? Ran 2 minutes, got slow again, checked it, it was now only showing 4 threads, and HOT. Temped at 180!! The Teflon inside the nut was toast. Motor was at 130. A new nut (maybe 2?) some loctite, and maybe a vented slipper are in my future.
Tried another run after it all cooled down, but it got the slips again real bad, I'm sure the pads are like ice. Then had an electronics issue (1015 decided to make random right turns and twitch, hard), so I packed up and flipped cars for a bit....
PS, I like the clicker on with the sway bars. Much better turn in for me.

What is the best method to hold the front cva pin in place? Mine had slipped out and stopped my left front bone from rotating.

Thanks in advance.

run two nuts w/o the nylock. will not loosen up. torque the 2nd nut against the first to lock up. you'll need 2 wrenches.

So you get no slip at all with this setup?

It would depend on if it worked when properly adjusted with a nylock nut. Nut to nut lock is WAY old school...
