Continue provide?

Image
Dose Hobico continue to provide DNX8 parts? Plastic well breakable parts are out of stock while. Why I like DNX8 is the useful parts are nice plice and high quality. If Hobico didn't continue to provide these parts,I have to change new buggy. But tower has some stock.  I have to buy on tower hobby.  

Prepare for race

Image
Ordered products arrived today. Our race have control tire. Super soft compaund is good yet. Then I bought impact super soft. And blockade m4. And bought front end parts. It's Mugen upright. It's kingpin ball adjust nut. Screw pitch is different with Durango. And lite weight. It's MBX7R front drive. I have used rear drive. Once front drive pop out on crash. Then I change front bush to 0.5 inside. Probably Mugen front drive is 1mm longer than rear. Receiver connector pop out from buttery connector. Then I bought lock holder. On the race buggy is set high speed range. Then durability is important.

SETUP Engine needle

Image
Today I went to truck for setuping next Sunday race.   First I tune engine. I introduce needle setting method.   ① Main needle After warm up. On the bench trigger throttle max, after while engine sound changing high tone. The sound is coming from Fuel is not much  provided.   If sound not be changing main needle should tune clockwise.   Depends on your truck straight length. You should adjust after how long after while by main needle. You don't continue trigger throttle after sound changing.   If the truck has long straight takes 5 seconds on maximam,main needle should tune unclockwise. Until it takes 5 seconds to change sound.     ②Secoundary needle After max sound changing you shoud operate full braking. Engine rotation will be down changing two steps. Max->High idling->Low idling.   It is coming from secondary needle provide much fuel. Then should tune...

Roll center

Image
Tomorrow I'll go to truck. Basically our truck is high grip. Last running I have high side on large corner. Then I change ride hight to 25mm. But big air section my car bumped. Then I change low roll center. Before I set d plate be used 0.5down. I change c plate brush 0.5 up. D plate bush center. On front section b plate bush be set one degree up. A plate bush 0.5down. Tight corner response be more quick. On high speed corner the car will be stable. Then I change ride height 26mm. My experience almost car rear suspension should move vertically. It means upper suspension arm should be long. On the corner it makes under stealing. Then I adjust low roll center. It make over stealing. If I was mistake wheel operation I can control rear traction remain by vertically attachment to ground. So RC8B3 rear hub is ! My rear hub modify so.

Serpent release all

Image
Serpent new buggy released. Serpent web unveil all detail. Diff case size up and gear lighten is trend nowadays. Serpent has back rush plate same as DNX8. Probably the plate has two pattern. For 46T and 48T. But I like DNX8 design.Because DNX8 has long plate connected torque rod. I think chassis center should not vend. Front and rear side vended separate. It make traction.

Front skid

Image
About Front lower suspension skid angle. I changed front one degree down. It make quick response on tight corner.  MP9 front lower rear side is changed. Rear side hole position is moved upside. It make low roll center and square skid. Long spring make handling mild but square skid response quick. It mean if stealing operation failed you can recover easy. I'll try to change rear bush one degree up. Front bush center.

NEO16 end

Image
Neo 16 has ended. On the final Proline tire was good. Long distance durability is better than AKA since last worlds. PL can be used softer compound. AKA have to develop new rabuer material. MP9 tki4 has C hub front suspension. It good at the flat cray hard packed surface truck. There are these situations Cavarieri RC8B3 is fast. Only OS engine is passport to win. Ty Tesmann , Tebo, Cavarieri use. X-ray raise sponsorship penalty again at semifinal as last worlds. I like X-ray products but works team operation doesn't like. Probably then major driver leave the team.
