My problem is im trying to turn a basher, TLR typhon into a race buggy. 3.670g no wheels, body.., heavy. The shock shafts are 4mm instead of 3.5mm, good for bashing terrible for loose low grip dust surface...
Hello Adam Sorry for this left field question... I apologize for my ignorance. Are you or have you considered the popular GT8(onroad converted off-road buggies) class? If so, do you have setup ideas to help with push(common in GT8) in the corners? Best wishes 😊
A tip I have learned for setting ride height is to make sure the tires have a little dirt/dust on them as if they don't, they can cause the car to stick to the setup board thus giving you a misread-on ride height. This is especially true with new tires. I too use the drop roll method that you suggest Adam to prevent the board stick but a little dust on the tires helps as well. As always thanks for the tips and reminding us of how important the basics are!
You nailed it, great video! Buggy looks awesome as always. I like to check ride height with dirty tires. It helps the tires slide on the setup board throughout the suspension articulation. I like to lightly tap the setup board 4-5 times to help the buggy level out to a happy ride height (or drop and roll as shown in your video). It's kind of important for the front end since pillow ball cars tend to have more track width change throughout the suspension throw compared to a c-hub car. Thanks for sharing.
Dear Adam! Your rear link length measures are done with the mid-large position in the tower? If you go up or down in the tower, that measure must be change to correct canvas. How much more or less you change in each case? Hope to be clear enough!! Thank you
I'm glad you mentioned about ride height and checking at no, mid and a full fuel tank. In my head I always think a half filled tank would be better but as you said being consistent would be painful.
Can I use the MIP1 hi flow bypass piston kit and just leave the six holes that it comes with alone without drilling them and what flaps, should I use what valves what in the front and what in the rear is green in the front and blue in the rear of a good set up
Yes, you can run the 6x1.3 setup, but it will have too much pack for lower grip and bumpy conditions. I would start with clear front and blue rear for most conditions.
@@AdamDrake thank you so much for helping me out with things and I am going to use 5:50 in the front and 500 oil in the rear for both truggy and buggy that should be OK right?
I am running into a small issue with my mbx8r eco - the pin that holds the shocks on the table keeps getting out, I have not used the kit that much ( 4 races ). any advice ?
@@AdamDrake Yes. The pin came off ( twice now ), but the set screw is still in. it might be simply the arm that i have to replace, may be the plastric inside is worn out. i was simply wondering if you had any issues like that, or if it s just me bad luck / ect..
