So I wanted you video a few times and locoed at mounting and such to maybe just cut a new plate for the center support and move the mounting pieces down closer to the diffs so you can trim the ends for the belts but from the manual I downloaded to read before I ordered you have your center chase brace backwards. It shows it shark finning from to back your is read to front. I dot know if that would make a difference. I pic on Yopkomom has ti shake finned front to back but the one mounted in the pics on Amain has an almost syeemetrical one so I dont know

Try a smaller spur, I have had better luck running a 92T 64 pitch spur, with a 47- 49tooth pinion. You can also order thin alloy spacers from ali express. The answer really is 64 pitch spurs from Axon. They really should have provided a 64 pitch spur with the kit.

I am blessed that our local tracks have 4 big brands equally represented by drivers, setups and spare parts. I dont recommend starting off with the most popular class. Even if its just a weekend club race, the effort you put in shouldnt be just for trophies. It should be justified for the effort and cost you put in before and while racing. I seen too many rookies start with brand new equipment, following whats won on Sunday sells on Monday, then drop out from racing as they need more driving skills. Some races you wounder how tney pool all the sports drivers when every lap is a full on crash and you are trying not to break your engines. If I am saying anything at all...just start as a volunteer marshall. And make good friends with the positive racers. Dont get into the brand wars and buy the kit that you deserve

Your tires are what holds you to the track, if your tire game is wrong, you will have no success. The problem with practicing on worn tires is you don't know what changes to make if your car isn't handling. If you make changes to make your car handle on old tires, you are probably screwing your new tire set up. You don't want to be trying to get your car dialed in after the first qualifier. Any time you make changes to your set up, write it down. If it works in certain track conditions, you know what those conditions are and what changes to make. If you make the wrong changes, you know what to reverse to get back to your starting point.
@rc_nature2 ай бұрын
Never make changes on your car without running the tires you will be running during the actual race. The only reason to practice on half worn tires is because you have only two sets and you are just starting to buy gear.

You should find a small class that regularly has enough cars to race most weekends. One of the large classes is 1/8 scale buggy, Grasshopper, you ain't ready. A large class will have so many participants you won't make it out of the B mains. There is nothing more fun that getting bumped out early, I guess you could make a little cash marshalling for people that make the A mains. Won't be long before you are looking for a new hobby. If you have never raced before and have a little money to invest, go with Stock Slash, all you need is a transponder. They aren't real fast, they have limited adjustability so you can't get your set up so wrong you might never fix it. Covered tires mean you can lean on someone and not wreck. Its too easy to flip because you went too much wheel to wheel. If you aren't an experienced wrencher, you don't know enough to buy a used car. You can get a "great deal" on something only to have to buy more parts that you would be better off buying new. I guess you will learn to work on it.

Depends on what you already have. The ones I suggested are smoother than a rtr traxxas esc as an example. You can race with whatever to start though. RTR Reedy esc is great as well.

Definitely competitive in novice/beginner class. Run it for a couple seasons and save up for a B7 or newer Mugen buggy that just came out. Check out the Hobbywing Justock esc.

Surpass hobby 13.5 and 10.5 turn motors are cheap on aliexpress and amazon sometimes. Noble NB4 radio is the best value and all you will ever need. Protek 140t servo from Amain hobbies or similar, its low profile and good value.
