RE: MRC/ACADEMY SBV2 "Pro"
I have done the steering mod and have found it to work quite well. I have changed the shock pistons in both front and rear. The front pistons are the 4.5's and in the rear are the 3.5's. The front is filled with 42.5wt and the rear with 32.5wt. Green springs front and rear. These settings are for the 1/8 scale motocross style track out here: wide open with huge air. I am now using the 'sport' wing vs the polycarbonate(PC) one for durability.
I have effectively tossed the e-clips on all my hinge pins by modding them. Soon, I will toss out the stock metal pins for my own, hand crafted carbon pins. I may even make an attempt to make carbon shock shafts....we'll see. Challenges are good. Although I'd really like to splurge and get some Diggity upgrades, I have other mods that my focus is on. Fully loaded, I am currently under spec for this class (1613g right?) and would need to add weight in order to compete. That would probably happen very easily if I used a heavier battery, though.
I am hoping that I will be able to get some diff gears soon.......[&o]
