I'm running the box stock system and it seems fine to me. Running it on 2s until diff parts arrive. I have not had any problems so far thru 10 battery packs. I'm just having fun with it on tarmac and off road by myself currently. Not competing with it so I'm not sure of any short comings it may have. I'll be running the stock system until it fails, then I'll replace it..... although I do have a NIB MMP/1410 system under the bench..... and patience is not my strong suit, hmmm...... |

@ Sith lord, I also have the nitro version, hence the need for a motor Turtle, thanks for the tip, I'll be getting a pack of those gaskets. But as a temporary solution, I used some teflon tape to make an additional "gasket"...not sure if it works though, but hey, it's worth a try. |

Hey guys! I decided to get a drx ve and i also have some questions: 1. I don't know which body to buy. Do you think the Fiesta has a better ground-clearance than the Subaru? And what about the Demon? It looks like its a Citroen C4 but it has different tail lights. 2. Do you think i can get that kit without the radio? It seems like the radio isnt good and I have one by myself so I dont want to get another... 3. Is there a possibility to add brake lights to a brushless? Do all bodies have lightbuckets front and rear? 4. Is there any stock-oil in the diffs? 5. Can I completely close the chassis to keep dirt out of it or does the motor get to hot? 6. Is the stock-motorcontroller good at all? It says 45A to 290A. Is that enough? 7. What does the thickness of the oil in the center diff change? Prepare for more questions and by the way: This is the best DRX (VE) Thread! Last edited by a_guest; 08-31-2012 at 01:46 AM. Reason: improvement |

Turtle, Those side guards you have on your car are from a mp9 right? Do you have a parts number? |

Rally noob question. Camber, toe and ride height. What is a good setup? There are no setup sheets for the DRX. |

I like to DRX to ride at about 50% in relation to the suspension stroke, this allows it to corner better with the sway bars, but it still has the ability to droop out on bigger jumps. Last edited by TURTLE; 09-02-2012 at 08:32 PM. | |

1. Don't think the body matters much, personal preference. I run mine so when the chassis slaps the ground the body does not. It works fine for me and gives ennough ride height around the tires. 2. The radio does suck, first thing I changed. I got the RTR so I'm not sure if it's available without. 3. Fairly certain all bodies have light buckets. Brake lights depends on what LED system you put in. 4. There is no oi iin diffs just a light coating of black grease. 5. Yes you can cover chassis, look back thru Ty's thread he shows a picture and states is does get hot. 6. I'm running the stock Orion system and it's fine. Ran 2s until I upgraded all 3 diffs and just ran it on 3s today and wow, what a difference. The stock system did fine on 3s with no ill effects...yet. 7. I'll defer this topic to others. Hope it helps a little. There are others that know more than I do. | |

As for the center differential. The thicker the oil in the diff (I.E. 30,000 weight) the more the car has 4 wheel drive, the thinner the oil (I.E. 3,000 weight) the more the car acts like a all wheel drive differential. Does that make sense? With thinner weight oil in the diff power is sent to the front or rear depending on which one has less resistance. With thicker oil the differential acts more like a locked center diff always sending power to box axles. These are the extremes of both and of course there are other weight oils, but this gives you an idea of how the center diff works. | ||

Ok Thank you guys! That helped a lot! Quote:
2. Ok so I have to sell the radio. But nobody would ever buy it 3. The problem is that the LED system normally cant detect if the brushless brakes or is driving backwards. Do you know a system which explicitely supports brake and backward-driving-light (how are thy called?)? 5. @TURTLE: Are you driving this closed chassis anymore? Did you have any problems with the heat? 6. Cant wait to try it! Quote:
EDIT: Where did you get the lightbuckets of your XV-01 Thread? Last edited by a_guest; 09-03-2012 at 01:47 AM. | ||

3. Look at the Rally Legends RC LED system, it has head lights, tail lights, brake lights, reverse lights and turn indicators. And yes it works with brushed or brushless set ups. 5. Yep still running the full underbody that is in this thread. It only gets hot after 20-30 minutes of driving. What I do is give it a brake for 10-20 minutes after the first battery to let it cool down and it is good to go. For the diff settings I have put a lot of information on what settings I have used in this thread. Driving style also has a lot to do with the way you like the diffs. XV-01 light buckets I had from another 2008 STI body I had and is now retired. | |

Another question: Does anyone know, where the sidelights, dipped headlights and undipped headlights are and if the WRC 2008 Impreza has a rear fog light? |
