7k 10k and 1800 sounds pretty close to alot of the setups I'm reading about.

Mostly I see people running 7/10/3 would that be a good place to start? being that I'm just about to beging my build?

When the cop pulls you over doing 160 mph, and asks if you knew how fast you were going say, "yep i had cruise control on".

I listed the body on ebay, starting out at 10 bucks. Im working on more and will be selling them on ebay too. Santa is suppose to be bringing me a new paint gun so they should start to look better the more I paint. It kills time during the winter season too.

I built mine 100% to Cody's setup sheet (diffs 10/18/2) and wouldn't change a thing. The slightly higher front & center allow the truck to pull extremely hard out of corners while still being able to turn sharp.

10k/18k/2k. Manufacturer of silicone diff fluid isn't too terribly important. I use both Mugen and Kyosho diff fluids and they're pretty much identical in weight.

Keep in mind that you have to mix 20k and 10k in order to get +/- 18k.

actually, there is quite a bit of difference from some brands...i.e. losi and associated diff oils are quite a bit different then mugen, xray, and kyosho oils (the latter 3 go by the CPS scale instead of the WT system)

Sold my menace truck for some money and a near new reciever for my JR XS3 Pro to a friend yesterday. So i decided to put the servos i had for the truck in and the reciever. The steering servo is a airtronics 94358 which is 200 oz in @ 6volts and .10 secs transit time(no sticker on it because i had to buy a new servo case), and the throttle is a JR DZ8550, which is 188 oz in torque and .15 secs transit @ 6 volts. The steering servo is temporary until i get a JR 9000T. Here are a few pics.

Now i need engine/pipe, clutch/flywheel, front knuckle, and wing mount and im set. I already have the wheels and tires and the body on the first page of this thread.
I cant make up my mind on buying these items or the Playstation3, what i dont get now i will get later on buy new years. If i get the stuff for the truggy, i have in mind to get the RB928 w/ pipe combo kit, werks racing clutch w/ carbon shoes (any suggestions on a different clutch?).

well guys, had in mind to order the RB928 w/ pipe combo the day after xmas which is $400 at amainhobbies. so earlier i decided to look on ebay and saw a rb928 new in box w/o the pipe, decided to bid on it and won it for $235 shipped.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEBTOX:IT&item=200183566826&_trksid=p3984.cTODAY.m238.lVI

after i buy a matching pipe which is about another $100, in the end i save around $70. so after xmas i will need to order the pipe, werks racing clutch, 15t clutch bell, front knuckles, wing mount, and reciever pack.

I always try to ream the body post holes, cut the breather holes, wheel wells, and wing lines out before painting due to mounting issues later on. Do you have a trick to lining up the body post holes once you paint the body?

ProRCRacer88, go with a 14 bell, 15 is a bit much unless your going to drag race it.
The body is gong on ebay after christmas when usps isnt so busy.
Tweedy, I put black paint on the body post (front first), center the body and place it down. Reem it abit from the bottom and finish it from the top side. Then just repeat for the back side. The str body has pre made dimples for the body post, this wont work on the longer chassis though.
On bodies I keep, I mark the protective film before I paint it that way I know were to reem the body post. Selling this one so its someone eles bother, unless I keep it, Im liken it the more I see it, may need to do another.

didnt realize 1 tooth could mean that much of a difference. ok will get the 14t. thought that with all the stories i heard about the 928 having so much torgue, a 15t would be perfect. j

ust goin to run around the yard when i have time, wont have time to race even on the weekends unless im lucky. pretty good setup i will have even tho its jus for playin around... i would say..

will definatly have to check that track out you was telling me about HKenvy
