You do not need a "hand brake" to drift or even initiate a drift. The lack of reverse is ridiculous. Just a way to cause more broken parts and net traxxas more profit on over priced plastic.
I'm a beginner on road racer and I had built a 25.5 TC to learn in the off season but the carpet season is starting and I think there's not enough of that class to race. I'm thinking I'll have to convert it to VTA or USGT if I want to club race. Do you have any recommendations? Chasis is X4'24. Thanks!
Either class would be okay. I would say if you are a beginner to TC racing, you might do the VTA class. It is a bit slower and more forgiving to race than USGT. The X4 would be good in either class, it seems to have a lot of traction.
yes, it will. The car seems easier to drive and lap times seem to say that it's faster. We are now testing on asphalt. This tool should be released in early October if all the testing goes well.
Hi EJ. What is the difference from doing this mod, compared to drill 2 more holes in the damper rotor (Or drill the holes larger)? That should also change pack. Thanks
You are 100% correct on drilling the holes out would change the pack too. I just thought that having the outer most part of the rotor modified, it would react differently than the holes that are not moving through as much oil. I know of a few guys that are drilling the holes now. I don't think that they have really come to any conclusions yet.
The only problem that I have heard of with the rotors were that the 2 piece rotors were having issues and so Awesomatix came out with the new one piece version. This mod that we are doing is just a tuning option, it's not to fix any actual product defect.
Hey, thanks for the question. So, it changes the "pack" characteristics. Even with thicker oil, the damper feels a good bit softer than it did before the mod. On track, the car reacted quicker and it had more chassis roll/grip. So, in a traditional shock, it's like putting a larger hole piston with thicker oil to change the "pack" of the shock. For myself and Bill from BS Works, it did produce faster lap times on a layout that had been down at our local track for months.
Yes it will. I had to sand a bit of material off the graphite part to allow my battery to slide by it better. I haven't run the car with them in it but I do like the way they work. A battery with a smaller case might fit without any sanding.
I enjoyed the video :) This is the system I'm looking for I want to buy this product, but the shipping cost is more than the product price. I want to buy it but it makes me hesitate
Yes, some of the guys that are running mod are doing the esc swap. This mount also adds more torsional flex to the chassis. I am very interested in that aspect of the mount. I hope to do some testing later this week.

Good question! No, not really any video on that because there really isn't one setting that will work. It all depends on the ride height of what your car is and how high you mounted your body. It's more of a tool to be able to duplicate a body that you know doesn't rub already and get it lower. Good idea for a video on this, thanks!
Thanks for the question. Well, it does flex more than the stock alum. chassis for sure. I am not sure if it flexes more or less than a carbon chassis. If it were me, I would still use the carbon for asphalt. With that being, I would at lest try it myself on asphalt just to see how it feels versus the carbon.
Do you think stock vs. modied makes a big difference in body selection on carpet? Im a beginner and running a Wolverine on 25.5 TC, but wondering if I should try the OG twister or something else instead
Yes, it does make a difference if you are running stock vs. mod. The main reason is the way a mod car needs to transfer weight front to back more to get the car to turn into the corner after hard breaking. The Wolverine is a great body, I still have a couple I take with me at all times. I will have .4 and a .5 think with me as the heavier one will give you more body roll.
@@FullSendRC804 In Europe we do not use servo safers because it is said that they make the steering indirect and wobbly. Do you have to change the spring, which was probably designed to be very hard, often?
@@TheJPower88 I know that a lot of the drivers in Europe don't use savers because of the type of track barriers used. In Europe, a lot of the tracks use curbs where as here in the U.S. we use hard boards. Our servos last longer if we use the savers. I might replace the springs every 6 months. I don't find that the saver feels indirect at all.
It's not a screwdriver, it is a small pointed pick tool. My plates slide pretty easy so it doesn't do any damage to them. I take very fine sandpaper like 1000 to 1500 grit and smooth the edges until they move easier.
There's an awesomatix ap where you can write up setup sheets and store them and it also has a spring calculator (with ability to see how spring rates change with arm width) , timer, manual and roll out chart.

I usually run between 2 short and 3 short(negative) The closer to 0 or positive you are, the more stable the car will be. More short the more aggressive the steering will be, good for tracks with good grip.
I usually run 2 short or 3 short(negative) caster. This makes the car more reactive when you run negative caster. Zero to positive caster gets the car off the nose and is easier to drive.
Hub pointing into car gives more steering but looser rear, more towards centre gives grip, pointing to the back of the car makes car super safe so for ultra low grip
Yes, getting into onroad can be hard. I am trying to give a little info to those guys that don't have good help at their local tracks. Thanks for your support!

I wouldn’t base your suspension specs based off of something that’s 3-D printed I would face it more off of something that’s CNC precision machined out of aluminum or even titanium for more accurate

@FullSendRC804 I just purchased a send hand xray T4 and I'm trying to get everything sorted. It's my very fifst 1/10 scale touring car. I got a Zerun G4 21.5T and a Zerun XR10 Stock. This setup will not work with sensor cable connected. I've tried severing motor direction in the app and still. It does this weird kind of logging jumping motion when I try to give it throttle. This is with no load on the motor. I know I'm asking alot but is there any way I could contact You to send You a video showing what's happening?
@@raindeergames6104 Are the ESC and Motor new or used? It sounds like it might be cogging. If so, you should send it back to Hobbywing for them to check out. You might make sure the sensor cable is plugged in all the way.
