Your BUGGY and SETUP
Copied this from the Truggy forum where its a Sticky, great idea maybe we
can get this going here and the Mods will sticky it Ok Lets hope this thread works and for once put an end to all the most commonly asked questions about what setup, what diffs, what servos. I'm sure I'm missing a lot of specs but thats all I can think of right now so feel free to add a spec or two in your data. Let me start it off: Here's the blank template you can copy n' paste this with your info in it: BUGGY : THR SERVO : STR SERVO : MOTOR : PIPE : RADIO : CLUTCH : CB : WHEELS : DIFFS F/C/R : SPRINGS F/R: SHOCKS F/R : DROOP F/R : RIDE HEIGHT : CAMBER F/R : WING: ADD INFO MODS ECT: TRACK READY WEIGHT: Here's my configuration: BUGGY : AE RC8 THR SERVO : AE 1015 STR SERVO : AE 1015 MOTOR : OS V-Spec PIPE : TT 2035 RADIO : SP DX3 CLUTCH : JP ALUM 1 BLACK 2 GOLD SPRINGS CB : 16T WHEELS : MP9 OR LOSI TIRES F/R : AKA CITY BOCKS SOFT OR IBEAMS IN SOFT, AKA INSERTS DIFFS F/C/R : 5/5/5 BARS F/R : SILVER/SILVER SPRINGS F/R: SILVER/SILVER SHOCKS F/R : 1.4X2 1.2X2 PISTONS FRONT AND REAR, 40WT BELOW 70F, 45WT 70F-90F MAYBE 50WT IF ITS BLAZING OUT DROOP F/R : NONE, SHOCKS HAVE 2MM FRONT AND 5MM REAR LIMITERS RIDE HEIGHT : 29MM/29MM RC8s are very sensitive move slowly in 1/2 mm increments CAMBER F/R : -1.5/-1.5 WHEELBASE : MEDIUM CASTER F/R : 16 TOE F/R : +1 / -3 WING: FORWARD AND LOW, STOCK AE ADD INFO MODS ECT: RX BATTERY RELOCATION, EMULSION SHOCKS WHITH RTR CAPS, STEERING MOD.
