I recently purchased a Sportwerks Mayhem Pro (ARR). I am happy with it, having upgraded from a Hyper7 PCR Pro. I do have one issue though; the car handles fine on most tracks but, it could benefit from a reduction of the caster angle. Even with the upper arms all of the way forward, there is still too much caster. Many people at my local tracks have commented on this. Some say to remove material from the upper arms in order to fit another caster clip behind the existing one. Personally, I would rather not go this route as it weakens the arms. Is this an issue that Sportwerks has plans to correct with a revised part or are we all doomed to have to whittle on our cars?

cutting is easy and don't weaken the arms
I don't think there will be another solution for you in the near future
see message earlier:

I cut the front suspensionarms with a rotating tool to sharpen scissors and so on
it's easy but you have to do it slowly, taking care not to take off to much material in the end
also scrap the same quantity on both sides and stay centered on all sides, with that arm to the tool
cut in front part where pin goes through, just 10 mm large to clear the towerplate to (see pix)

to fill the gap I bought some extra 4mm shimmclips, mine are from from xb8
I run white xb8 shocksprings to

result is spectacular , much more steering , like a jammin x1cr
car just twists around the curves, you have to ajust the rear though to get it more stable
I use a goldcoloured rear anti-rolbar and white xb8 springs al around
or you can play with harder front rollbarr, shocksprings or oil

Im thinking of getting a motor saver air filter.. but i dont know which one is the right one... is it [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDBD5&P=ML]this one?[/link] or [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDNV1&P=ML]this one...[/link]
Also...should i buy after run oil or can i just use WD-40?
Thanks

Rwong:
like 1 degree antisquat will be better on bumpy tracks
the buggy flying over the bumps more
: with more degrees hanging to the rear, the rear arms are banging more up against the bumps

against 3 degrees better on flatter even low grip tracks....

sorry this was about the anti-squat degree shimms going under the suspension blocks

stock degree susp.blocks is 3°

2.25 or 1°: gives less stabilty on the straights, on braking and on-power exiting corners
but if the car is twitchy or once commences to slide wil be more controlable

about new ackermann steeringplate : forward hole gives more smoother steering response
rear hole more crispy steering response
shimms are to be put under the rodpoints
to fine tune the steering toe-ing out under pressure

thereisnoname,
If you check carefull in this forum, you find a lot of people cannt recommend to use WD-40.
The air filter....good question. Do you consider to use the alum version for Taxx... look better and maybe is better because is for a truck.

Time to accelerate.
Why the mayhem when you stop it and press the trotle in full acceleration the mayhem wait 2 sec to stall?
Maybe is some problem with the HSN.

Hi...Who to install the new servo?

For everyone to like to install a new servo.
First, put the servo in the neutral position
Second, check the steering response in both side (left and right)
Finally assembly the rest of the part.

BTW, The steering servo JR 8800t is very fantastic.

Degree Inner Suspension Mount Set if for the front or read?

engine mounts:
Who have the new ENGINE MOUNTS part SWK9228?
My doubt is: this new part is the same height as the RTR engine mounts.
Can I use the new ENGINE MOUNTS part SWK9228 with my Mayhem RTR without some modification?

degree mounts + insert anti-squat is for rear

new motormount are very low , just for pro or starterbox

I received a e-mail of the tech support of horrizon. They explaind is the same height as the RTR engine mounts. I dont why they say that.

Just thought i would post some pics of my mayhem from the track practice last night in ontario canada....
I am very impressed with this buggy...

It was a little dusty at the track.. I almost couldnt see the buggy any more on certain areas of the track... I got home and all i could say was WOW... your a mess... then I cleaned it...

I just cleaned mine up and mounted one of those new Novarossi 421BX's.

Tell us how you went about cleaning them up. I use denatured alcohol, tooth brush, air compressor and then followup with WD 40.
Rockman

took engine out.. and electronics.. then let loose with a can of WD-40 then air compressored it off...

I let the WD-40 soak for a min or 2.. then just air compressor the rest of it off...

Remove engine/electronics................water, toothbrush, air compressor, wd-40, air compressor...............reassemble

I was just wondering what fuel all of you guys use...I was looking at Odonnells fuel...but it seems for the real racer...im more of a basher who likes to race..so i was looking at the Trinity Horsepower 20% fuel...is this fuel any good?
Thanks
-Erc

Trinity fuel is very good. Try 30% instead of 20%. You get 12% oil blend which will give you some extra protection. I beleive the other fuel is 8% oil which is more of a true racer blend. If you go this route you may want to try White Lightning. I use it for my buggy and it does great for racing. I actually run it a little rich and still has power with 30% nitro.

I only used the mayhem in the track for 30min. This is the result of a dust track.

any one runs a Werks clutch ??

Sorry....This is the pic of the alum diff for the mayhem.

You need this two items:







Finally result



Finish to install in teh Mayhem

haha , nice , I had the polished ones
now I must ask you
how do you get the picture to open in here like that
if I put a picture it doesn't show

I still don't wana use the metal shells

I got the new towers
and I don't like them either
neither the design off the new motormounts....
they had to be 1piece

now I am selling kind of Werks clutches not originals
new ones with carbon shoes for the mayhem
mayhem blue color as above
interested ?
also caps "mayhem"

You may want to move the shim from the right side to the left side to allow for better action of the gears using aluminum diff covers.
