Incorrect nut

Image
I missed to select throttle linkage nut. I used shock piston nut. It is 2.2 mm diameter. Corrected size is 2mm. Finally it never loose throttle screw. And I change to set switch post inside little. For avoiding brake switch on clash. Rear stefner mount modify is completed.  Probably rear bulkhead screw hole will be foolish. I can't get bulkhead yet on A main.

WORLDS WARMUP results

Image
Worlds warmup was over at Vegas. Final is cancelled for rain fall. Semi final order became result. Short shock US buggies remain results. High speed bumpy American style track good for them. Japanese driver Matsukura can't remain the final. But I think he can get worlds title. Serpent is not good that has US style suspension. I think serpent make buggy as same as racing car. Too solid and no clearance for engine buggy. Engine makes big vibration to chassis. Xray is not good too. I had used xb8. I think xb8 rear suspension arms is bad. Short arm make chassis to move up down rapidly. Then I set up 2mm wide wheel hub on rear. But totally balance is difficult to setup. Durango What's deferent from normal? I can't run normal for competition. About Durability and weights. Total weights is not matter. It's important where are weights. Total light machine can add weight on under spring. In summer dry surface condit...

3 hours endurance

Image
On June our track will be held 3 hour endurance race. One team has three mates. Driver rotate with two tank run. Then I want to improve more durability. First I change wing mount holder mounting. I changed the place back hole. And I cut the carbon plate for that. Steering screw loosen twice that black head for right side only. I missed lock nut selecting. It has to select low height nut. Front right drive shaft is vented again. That's cause the issue too. Steering servo mount screw loosen. Provably new KO sarvo has more trque. I add one post with long screw on buttery box rear end. Chassis is shaved at rearend. It has 2 mm or 1.5 mm. The I order M2C to AMain. RC tech mate use the chassis. It makes rear traction be strong. I am interested in end guard. Is is flat under the chassis ? I don't like chassis guard popping up under the chassis. If flat type was, I like this. The guard plate made by steel. Then it incre...

Worlds warmup

Image
Worlds warmup is held on Vegas. Tesmann papa punch holes on tire inner. Are there any bump on the track? Japanese ace driver Naoto Matsukura can beat US pro drivers. Is Travis Durango almost normal? I don't think normal Durango can run hard track. If Durango wasn't continue to develop GP buggy why they attend the race? Xray xb8 2016 will release soon. The body is long cabin and rear end is flat. Like a MP9.

Diff set

Image
Yesterday I went to track. I put off rear mad guard then a little screw jump into between drive cup and under suspension arm. I can't find it on the track. I will have to put on mud guard. I try thick diff setting 10k,10k,5k. It's not bad. But I used Kyosho center diff then it effects more thick compared with front diff. It makes push under. I will try 10k,8k,5k next run.

Repairing

Image
Center rear driveshaft is MP9. Now the parts become more durable than TKI3. Rear driveshaft is MBX7R rear universal. Rear is shorter than front. I used rear universal for front. On the crash the universal pop out. At the time the univ was vented. Then I replaced one. Now I use MBX7R front universal for front. I replaced side guards. Front end screw hole become foolish. When front end hit somethings the screw hole receive power. I put lock nut over the hole. I hate sanding mud between there. I rub shoe goo among there.

Wing mount holder

Image
Rear wing mount was broken on last run. Then rear traction was lost. I glued with CA. I want to buy the parts. It is on bulkhead set. But the parts is out of stock at AMain for a month. Rear suspension arm too. Probably these will are not provided. Then I make a carbon plate. I shave front side. It is for vertical set. I bought IFW445 MP9 wing stay mount. Left side screw is set on same position. Right side is set with another hole. I through 4mm pipe into the rod end hole for 3mm screw. I adjust best position. It completed replacing wing mount holder. I will try to confirm durability next run.
