For steering, I'm reading mixed reviews of the GPM stuff, so I did some more digging and found a few people have used this Hot Racing steering setup and liked it, it is a little beefier and has bigger bearings.

I'm going to give it a try on mine.

thanks ill give it a try..next thing to buy. gpm has front cvds.. worth the 17 bucks? get some more steering? have very little now. need to cut the brick off too. anyone have some pics how they did it? thanks

[m1009cucv]

any one recommend some shocks?

[OSRC]

Brick mod? Tons of pics!





Tons of threads here too.

Spring for the Tamiya CVD's if you can. The GPM's are OK, but the Tamiya's fit like a glove (of course) and are super smooth.

Any 70mm or so shock will do fine. Tried a bunch of others, stockers always worked fine for me and never leak.

Just wrenched on one of mine this past weekend - a little winter maint. Got me excited to get it out there again.

[m1009cucv]

good to know. I will rebuild the stock shocks. some green slime and call it good. thanks for the pics. gpms are on the way. if the go ill get the Tamiya ones. will get some pictures tonight.

anyone tell me how far i need to have the pinion on the motor shaft i lost the part. going on a 45 lathe motor thanks

Mount the motor. With the trans cover off, you can see the mesh of the pinion gear. Make sure the mesh is centered...while the tool makes it easier, you can easily eyeball it. After tightening the pinion, push the pinion in and out of the motor and make sure the travel range is all within the mesh of the gear...you'll be good then.

I'm doing the same thing, but going with a 55t. The stock silver can is useless in this rig.

[m1009cucv]

thanks guys. i want a 55 maybe even a 65. found a 45 in the parts bin. for now in it goes

[Chumley54]

I just ordered a 80T RC4WD brushed motor....The stock can is way too fast....

[m1009cucv]

mine is almost back together. got the hr shock mounts, bearings all greased up. when funds are better going for the hr steering kit. 45t motor for now.. thinking it will be kinda fast but its what I have. have some pics tonight
