Well, the rig ran really good for it's first outing .... Considering it had about 10 feet driven, on carpet, before hitting the starting gate on course 1 yesterday! The driver needs more wheel time to figure the rig out .... These little rigs are awesome good fun! The Basher tires ran well. I went for the slightly wider foot print, compared to the claws. I do need to figure out turning radius. Even with a good servo, and full lock, the rig does not turn tightly (others there seemed to have a sharper turning). The Mayhem rims are SWEET. I didn't pre-load the left rear shock, but only had minor torque twist issues when I ran the left front against a sidehill rock. The thing went vertical with all four tires planted! Very fun to drive and predictable. The scores aren't out yet, but I'm sure I finished mid pack ... Running against, Dean, Brandon, Badger, etc ... I'm not sure about needing a 4 link setup now? I would like to pull it all apart and clean up some linkage bind with the stock Losi parts (some polishing and refitting should do it). Thanks for the positive comments guys! P.S.: Bcrofts, you can wheel it next time! |

How do the Slider shocks seal, I know Losi's never had much luck with them retaining oil in all their Mini shock line.

We're considering offering some parts for sale, I've got some more testing to do first to finalize the designs ... The Losi Slider shocks are the same length as the Mini T fronts. I'll try to measure a set ... I've had great luck with most of the losi shocks, the big trick is not to over fill them with oil. The design is for negative pressure. When the shock is built, and you compress the shock shaft, it should not spring back out ... (spring off the shock) Last edited by JPH Racing; 11-11-2008 at 10:00 PM. |
