Can't wait till you post a drive video on the drive difference. As always great video

@RoadsideRC Ай бұрын

Thanks! No video yet, but initial driving is showing an improvement.

Thank you very much!

Fabulous tip! I saw this post in FB also. I made the lower arm a bit longer with shims and it also helps a bit but with this mod there’s much more movement. GREAT!

@RoadsideRC Ай бұрын

Yes - really appreciate the smart folks on the FB group for finding this.

@ Totally agree!

@iluvae Ай бұрын

Wont a longer rear arm change the camber gain? and overall handling of the car regardless on how free it makes suspension travel?

@mika_models Ай бұрын

@ I don't know. I have never lengthened the rear arms. I don't know how it affects the car.

Great vid/find Troy! One of the only times in life a thinner shaft will be preferred. Sorry, I'll see myself out. 😂

@RoadsideRC Ай бұрын

Ha! You are right.

What a difference these correct ball studs make! These should have been included in the kit. Hey Troy I've done all the same changes to the steering front end of your s but can't get full lock out of the steering. Not sure if it's something to do with Gyro End Points or it's the servo because it can move far enough by hand just not through turning or end point adjustments. Appreciate all your help and tips. Thank you.

Use a longer servo horn

@RoadsideRC Ай бұрын

I actually swapped to a longer servo horn to get the full throw. Give that a try!

@@RoadsideRC thanks it’s fairly long now but I’ll see if I have a longer one.

@spinworkxroy Ай бұрын

Great mod...i knew from day1 the ball studs were binding but we almost can't get any Associated parts here so.. I've been wondering if i can use other brands like yok or reved...

@RoadsideRC Ай бұрын

As long as the ball dimension is the same - you should be good!

@tomaszkrzywda9 Ай бұрын

So what i reckon with it is that it is not a problem. You don’t need that droop at all.

@RoadsideRC Ай бұрын

The factory setup was limiting. Will I use as much as I have now? No - that will be excessive. BUT - while driving this car, it was very common to hit the end of travel. When that happens, you lose traction through the jolt through the chassis. Driving this car since this video was made, it has really improved how the car behaves. To really get more out of it, I believe relocating the shocks higher would be the next step.

@tomaszkrzywda9 Ай бұрын

@@RoadsideRCyes, any binding is bad, but excessive movement is just as bad. I am running stock hardware on mine, it never looses contact up front (not a stock setup though) and have good amount of travel. BTW loosing traction also on front is part of drifting ;) And adjust up travel limiters on front, so that wheels don’t go higher than chassis plate is. For improvements i recommend to test out 16/90 pinion/spur. I run on epoxy paited concrete, and it is waay more aggressive with acceleration and breaking while having great amount of control over throttle.

@ConditionZero76 Күн бұрын

So, did this make much a difference as far as driving ? It definitely had big impact on freeing up the locked front end?

@RoadsideRC Күн бұрын

Yes! The front has a lot more movement, and most importantly, doesn't hit at the top of travel.

Do you have the servo stoppers installed?

@RoadsideRC Ай бұрын

I didn't install or remove them.

Do you think this will work for RDS ?

@RoadsideRC Ай бұрын

Don't think so - the RDS doesn't have this issue.

@donaldwilson6209 Ай бұрын

Will those work on the RDS as well?

@RoadsideRC Ай бұрын

They will not - Redcat uses different sized balls. I have have not had an issue like this with the Redcat - the balls are fine there. The cups just need "worked" to get free movement.
