i was thinking that before i posted the pix but i think the majority of the people on this thread are loyal and know who is really trying to make these trucks compete. Has that dude even posted on this thread at all? if he copies it there is nothing i can do about it but what is coming next from RCshox is REALLy going to change the game, it will not be leaked out until its done

That is exactly what I was hoping to see on the steering bar. No need to test. Where do I stand in line and who do I hand the money too?

What exactly does an ackerman bar do???

I had alot of leakage problems when i ran just a single stock o ring on lower cap position. I had used lots of green slime an still leaked . I tried the rcb8 o rings like someone mentioned on here and those were even worse , leaked and sucked air into shock. Finally tore down shocks , polished shafts, clearanced out the bottom caps as they were tight and caused a bit of friction, ran upper and lower x seals ( which are way overpriced as i was at the track and needed something to replace the rcb8 seals ) and they are pretty smooth now.

2 servo steering
I think it would be cool to instead of using an Ackerman bar, to have each wheel be on it's own servo, then using the programming in the transmitter so that you could set the perfect Ackerman angles. Plus you could change toe angles at a push of a button during the race to tune for tight corners or sweepers.
I think this would work really well if Servo manufactures made a unit that would allow two servos in the same casing that was rougly the same size as standard servo (seeing as each wheel would only need half the torque). Then you could use it with any 3ch tx/rx that allowed mixing, but to get the Ackerman setup you may need some advanced mixing in the tx.

Nice mud gaurds .How did you build em or where did they come from. I was thinking about some type of mudgaurd for the front to place behind front wheelss to keep the dirt out of inside of chaisis, I run indoor clayand shock boots so dont see a whole lot of dirt kicked up , but for you outdoor crews those look like the ticket
Coming soon from DE Racing! I need to clean up the truck and get a better pic.

polishing your shaft ha ha ha
i have some gummy stone we use in the ski industry to polish out edges I start with those to get the heavy work done quick, then I used marcus from rcshox trick of lighter fluid and 2000 wet dry and rubbed em till my fingers were sore and they were shiney smooth. You need to get ahold of marcus and get some of his 2 stage shock pistons and g discs . The best upgrade per buck you can do on your rig.

suggestion for direct bullet setup
Hey quick tip for those of you planning on connecting your battery directly using the bullets vs. the adaptor that always has the balance wire plugged in, make a dummy plug out of a spare connector and use it to keep the hole pluged while not charging. I got some dirt caught i mine and took a while to get it cleaned out before I could charge.
