have you tried lowering the amount of rear toe?

I guess I am not following why you have to wait for the parts?

Is something broken with the ones you have, or are you not wanting to run the vehicle with the parts you do have?

If the main concern is the shock caps, to be honest you should not let that stop you from running the vehicle.

I'm 100% stock at this point. Now that the points series is done, I'm going to go over the truck, refill shocks with clean oil, and possibly rebuild the diffs. Oil in diffs are about 2 months old now (Since I bought it)

I was thinking about going to a higher middle diff, like 10k, and leaving the front and rear stock. Maybe dropping the rear to 3k. Stock is what, 775? I may try out 773 first, and just rebuild my rear diff for testing this weekend. See how it reacts. I don't want to do a wholesale change and not know what effected what.

Going to a lighter rear diff oil will increase rear traction. If you are happy with the traction and drivability you currently have I would stick with 5 in the rear. If you want a tad more traction out back I suggest going down to 3 or even 2k in the rear.

Nah, I'm searching for more on power steering. She's pushing under power mid-exit of the corners. Just looking for options to try for practice on Saturday.

Other guys can power right through the sweeper, and I have to really feather the throttle to get it to go through. Also have a hair pin just before the trips that I can't navigate quite right because of the push.

So is that on the stock axle? If so, I'm sold and would love to buy a set of those adapters... that's a solid design right there

But with them hexs in the picture you only can use 1/8 buggy rims not 1/10 SC rims/tires right ?

ezlight

Correct. 17mm hex

MattP

No not correct actually. DE Racing makes a 17mm SCT sized wheel just for applications like this.

Thanks, You learn something new every day.

The first link the pic dint show up.

So you buy the Tekno 17mm hexs and still use SCT sized wheels and there just as wide and big as the 1/10 SCT wheels ?

MattP

iTrader: (440)

Yes the wheels are the same size as a normal sct wheel just these have a 17mm hex.

give the hudy setup guide a look, really great into there on all the settings.

Hopefully the rumored Tekno setup guide thing is true and will be out soon.

Anyone ever tried the 17mm wheels on this or any other sct? When the talk of 17mm hexes and wheels first came up a while ago somebody mentioned that the offset of 17mm wheels is different than the 12mm wheels, meaning that a "0" offset 17mm is actually different that a "0" offset 12mm wheel, partly because the hubs on most vehicles using the 17mm are usually quite a bit bigger, ie 1/8 buggys and such. Just trying to make sure we have all angles covered here because I am very interested in making the switch for durability sake but will have to invest in all new wheels and tires since this is the only vehicle I am currently running

Get this wheels "0" offset. I tried this wheels and works great.
