I guess I should restate my last statement.

I CA glued my hexes in. Reason being you can throw them in the oven and melt the CA back down and pull the hexes out. If you want to use aluminum hexes it might not be a bad idea.

Another idea, Let off the throttle when the wheels bind

For those of us not in the know ..... CA glue? Is that just Crazy Glue (or hot stuff, etc)?

CA is cyanoacrylate. Basically, super glue. But not necessarily any particular brand.

So the idea of clocking the transmission is mostly so that you can have the motor lower for a better COG?

I assume you must have an aftermarket chassis to do this.

They can handle 2s lipo, but you will need an external lipo cutt-off to prevent over discharging the pack.

That tranny is awesome Dog!!

Hey guys I never got an answer on whether or not anyone was running a droop setup.

Dogman, I saw you were considering doing this on your tuber. How does one go about setting it up for this.

Yes, the s means cell (s). It is a common abbreviation.

If I may correct you, S indicates "series" connected, as in add the cell voltages, ie 3.7v + 3.7v = 7.4v.

Similar 2s2p is 2 cells in series with 2 cells in parallel. Parallel adds ampacity.

Recon out

Well the first thing you will need to determine is your at rest ride height. once you mock up your rig at that height, you can measure what length of compressed shock you will need or wether or not you can drill holes to make what you have work.

Now to prepare the shocks, you will remove the spring and lower perch, then open the shock, drain out all of the fluid pull out the shaft and install a
