Banged Up

I'm in the middle of the build and havin fun! I went with a 21 V-spec and OS T-2050 pipe. And I'm thinking about a Airtronics 94360 steering servo. As for now my question is that I have a futaba 3003 servo hanging around, would that work for the gas/brake? Plus whats the best shock oil wts. for the front and back?

Hopefully I'm on the right track!

My Feedback: (24)

you will enjoy the new car their is know way to describe the power of a 1/8 scale especialy with that motor pipe combo it is unreal. it just takes a blip of the throttle to clear almost any jump. 1/8 will test your throttle control and brake skills it is a blast. as for the servos the 94358 or 94359 are probably better for steering but the 94360 will do the job just better suited for brake. you can use the 3003 till you can get a better one but you will not brake as strong.

here is a setup from the staring grid to get you started right
Pavidis 777 Starting Setup for Hemet Nitro Challenge

Front:
-60w
-1.4 pistons
-Blue Springs
-Front shock location in the upper middle hole in tower / inside hole
in arm
-22deg caster blocks
-A block
-Lower upper arm position
-Short upper arm (Inside hole in 3 hole caster block)
-Std front sway bar
-4000 front diff oil
-Steering ackerman in the back hole in steering rack (Increases
ackerman making the car turn smoother)
-Front ride height is with universals "slightly" above level

Center:
-48 tooth spur gear
-6000 center diff oil (for bumpy track which Hemet usually is)

Rear:
-30w (or 35w if temp is warm)
-1.4 pistons
-Blue springs
-Shocks are mounted in very outside upper hole in tower / inside hole
in arm
-Rear camber link is outside in hub and upper hole in tower (to
increase rear traction. For the car to pivot more on the rear move
rear camber link down one hole at a time)
-3deg rear toe
-2deg anti squat
-rear hubs spaced one spacer in the front with two spacers in the back
( this will shorten the wheelbase slightly but this will give the car
the correct amount of dogbone sweep the car needs. To free the rear of
the car up move hubs back. For Hemet hubs back might be ok).
-Rear ride height is universals level
-std rear sway bar
-2000 rear diff oil

Clutch
-3 shoe Kyosho carbon shoes(with tips of shoes slightly cut)
-1.0 springs
-13 tooth clutch bell

This is the only one I have. Cody ran this set-up but a few slight
changes.

5-7-2
55 front oil/32.5 rear
middle hole on the c hub
2 carbon/1 aluminum shoe/1.0 springs

Thanks a ton Cmain, nothing like starting with the right setup, trial and error adds up big time!!! Well I'm off to the hobby store to throw down some more duckets, and from what you told me, I cant wait to hit the track!
