RE: caster buggie
K250ryder is partially right.
I have filter on my pressure line because I had noticed dirt getting into the line from the pipe.
Thought it wouldnt do any harm.
On my feed line i have a reservior which looks like a large filter , this seems to help car run longer when on its roof.
Dont need a filter on feed as there is a filter inside the tank.

RE: caster buggie
is your reciever the 300 or 310? the JR 310 reciever is a lot smaller than the 300. if you have the 300, get the 310, they both do the same things except the 310 is smaller.

RE: caster buggie
just drove my caster for the first time today and realy drove the crap out of it through
water / mud/ ramping it hard i just wanted to so how tough it is and it came out unscathed
i think it can be a good competitor among the other brands

RE: caster buggie
This past weekend ran my zx-1 Pro at the 3rd round of the SA nationals.
Qualified 31st out of 65 and this with only one good run on the board in qualifying rounds.
Had hassles with both my STS engines and borrowed a buddies P5.
Car ran awesome in round 4 got me on position 1 in D-mains.
Hope to sort out my Black Magic shortly as I am waiting for rear main bearing.
Had a lot of fun in Secunda on a awsome track with great grip.

RE: caster buggie
Your front track is too wide.
Turn in upper and lower pivot balls two to three full turns to keep camber the same and then adjust your steering turnbuckle to correct the toe on the steering.
I usually run a little toe out ,about 1/2 degrees.
Check camber as well ,run about 2/3 degrees negative camber.
Problem should be solved.
If you look at the dog bone end of universal as it goes in to the out drive, the pin in the dog bone should be about 3mm in from outer edge.
