Made a few changes: - Cut the fenders, rear bumpers, trimmed the front, rocker panels and lowered the entire body a few mm, not sure about the look, but that's what hardcore Samis are about - swapped the shock oil from 30 to 15WT, still feel the rear is a bit stiff and high but I'd rather test it first - extended the 4 rear links 5 mm with longer rod ends |

Around here we refer to what I run in as "moon-dust" - it's mostly crushed limestone. After a session, I spray the motor out with compressed air. I haven't re-lubed my bearings yet. | |

Any info on the lengths for upper and lower links? I bought one of these chassis back Around Christmas. |

Some updates I designed a new chassis. I wanted to try carbon fibre this time which saved around 25 grams. I replaced the stock SCX10ii servo/battery flimsy battery mount with an interlocked plate: saves more weight, it's very stiff. I changed the geometry too, layed down the shocks more, added a few mm of clearance. Other changes: - front and rear lower bent links - removed the rear anti-sway bar - 60wt shock oil, Losi Mini T pink (front) and red (rear) - custom comp front bumper (it's a bit too heavy for my taste) - High Altitude Performance forward motor mounts (saves some weight compared to the VP mount) I can see some progress, for a SWB setup, climbing or downhilling is much better. What's next: - I'm going to test 100% droop - Move the battery to the passenger side side plate With the HH Revolver, I get around 50-60 minutes of run time with a 2200mAH 3S battery, I'm very tempted to try 1100mAh lipos now.
