Bender...I was wondering if you could also throw in your settings for the Mamba Max...I noticed you were running the Novak 55 and the Mamba...I recently swapped the Mamba for my rooster crawler along with throwing it all in a super nice SWX chassis!!!! I'm having issues with the drag brake not holding on inclines and haven't found any info to help me remedy the issue. Any help is appreciated... BTW...I set up a post in the electronics section with all my current settings if anyone has an idea...THANKS Mamba Max drag brake not holding Last edited by ittybitty; 02-11-2009 at 07:23 PM.

awesome build thread(my go to guide) in the process of building the SWX as we speak ...just a question....do you run a shorter spring then normal or just a ton of preload ??...it seems like the adjustment nut is threaded way down the shock body more than normal.....thanks again Brad for the great build and all the help

Yeah, the Losi springs I'm running right now are shorter buggy springs, that's why they look so pre-loaded. | |

Brad, do you have much trouble with the plastic spring cup falling off the bottom of the losi shocks? I just lost one yesterday...wondering if theres something to avoid this or if i should just go ahead and get some spares to keep on hand...im running the exact same springs as you and ive pretty much got mine adjusted the same too...

Just ordered my SWX after reading most of these 42 pages. This thread was my selling point. I will be using many of your tips/tricks. Any word on body mounts for the SWX, if not i wil just fab my own. |

The red springs are Losi buggy springs. Quote:

I usually run 17-20wt oil out front, 35wt in the right rear and 50wt in the left rear. I don't limit the articulation at all. | |||

Wow your suspension is a lot stiffer than ever before. Red springs all the way around and lots of preload.  The upper links look to be in the top location? InterestingHey did I miss the Clicky Clicky on the SCX-10? Last edited by Stormin2u; 02-18-2009 at 09:36 AM. |
