So i just recently built 2 KK custom zero T's and I must say I am simply amazed at how well they work and how predictably they are.
I have trouble with them both on fairly steep climbs they want to back flip a little sooner than i think they should be.
I have the castle esc's on the rear axle and I run a 3 cell lipo in the belly like i have seen others doing. but they feel just a bit to top heavy.

I will post pics up tonight as soon as I get them taken

Will the answer to the question be, more weight in the front wheels?

I see no question.

swisherteets · 04-20-2009, 03:32 PM

i am all ready runnin more weight than most
I have VP DH procomps fully loaded with bullet weights in the front and 4 weights in each rear
I just cant seem to see why its unloding like that in the front though
I have moved up the rear link mount position to the middle tier of mounting holes too

EeePee · 04-20-2009, 05:17 PM

Try removing the rear weights?

hbj069 · 04-20-2009, 05:34 PM

limit the front shocks, move the rear upper links up a hole at a time till you get it where you need it.

yea I am thinking this migt help me. Not sure though.

here are some pics of my fiances rig. Both of ours are fairly similar besides the weights being silver and my front axle is clocked. Oh and mine aint pink

GEARSCIENCE · 04-20-2009, 07:06 PM

That thing looks like it's really jacked up high. Maybe lower the gc to get lower cg. That along with the other suggestions( sept for the "limit the front shocks" one) might help

good luck!

The reason its unloading is its way, way to high......3" center clearance is recommended. It really screws with the suspension geometry when you raise a suspension up like that. Even 1/4" can make a huge difference.

swisherteets · 04-20-2009, 08:10 PM

i see what your sayin yea.
I will go with some smaller torsion rods then?

dboy1k · 04-20-2009, 09:04 PM

car looks good, hows the wheels on the other one looking? for sure lower it way down

thanks

the orange wheels (I switched the silver rims ot this one and black rims to those) are on my MOA slingshot and look good
I will have pics of it up sooner or later

davec · 04-21-2009, 10:29 AM

Lower that bad boy down. 3" to 3 1/8" belly clearance seems to be the sweet spot for mine. I also put some short shocks on the rear of mine run in droop mode, seems to have made it just that much better. Try it if you have some short shocks laying around.

70mm Eye 2 Eye, I did the same thing when building my links out of delrin. Put em on and said "Whoa". 40mm axial posts w/ traxxas ends = 70
@least yours is running! Thought you were getting a T & 4.0? LOOKS good nonetheless.

swisherteets · 04-21-2009, 10:46 AM

yea I had mine set up as a 4.0 but the predictability of my fiances T was so amazing I had to switch over to it

APESHAT · 04-21-2009, 11:48 AM

Good deal- How about radio setup, you ended up springing $ for the Fuuuuutaba 4pk? Got it all dialed "Harley" style? Jealous. . .

swisherteets · 04-21-2009, 12:49 PM

actually
I switched back to the DX3R
the 4pk was just to mucch for me (and I had other small issues with the set up of it)

APESHAT · 04-21-2009, 01:18 PM

Really? that Bl*ws- Do you like dual switches just fine then? I want to give 4PK a go, especially if I can't get a new DX6i soon. I'm busted after buying everything else, but willing to sell some (more) old toys to get my T rolling. . .Did you get yours w/free 2nd 3ch RX? WTT?
I run my AX10 on a DX3r, went all out and bought two FXRpro' so haven't planned to use switches from day1- It's just sitting on table looking @ me now- Banzai 45t's in mail. . .
