5k in front and 1k in rear right now. It keeps diffing out in the rear so proably try 2-3next time.
Alot of Dex guys are using 10/5 to start with.... Thats the only geared diff 10th scale buggy Im aware of.

Also setting the slipperjust tight enough to when on hard accel the front endpulls the buggy out of turns.

Shocks: If your having issue with the shocks blowing out you can get some heat shrink and put it over those caps. Worked like a charm on the vendettas.

Sorry to high jack this thread but today I broke the front bulk head on my xxb. Tower doesn't have them does any one know were I can get one or have one they will sell. Thanks Mark

New tires arrived today and I put them on the XXT and it looks great, not sure if i done it correctly but I watched a few youtube videos on it so i think it is all good, I am just not sure of the angle but from what i can tell it looks good








Thanks for all the advice

Cheers

Not hi-jacking, If you place a back-order with tower you will have it in like 10-14 days. Thats what happen when I broke mine.

Airmayle : i was meesing around with some stuff today and it looks like traxxas shocks will fit on the buggy. Havent tried mounting them but it looks like it would work.

I may look atmounting the TQ shocks on there also

airmayle

They never showed up? I still would like to see your buggy.

P bomstad

Here is my buggy, what ya think?

P bomstad

I am not what you would call computer savy. Finally able to compress file enough see above.

Here is the full race fleet ready for summer.

Nice collection. What kind of setup do you have on the XXB? Any upgrades on the XXB?

P bomstad

It is full carbon fiber chassis top and bottom plates, both shock towers. Alum. front steering blocks and carriers. Alum. rear hub carriers. Castle Mamba max and 4600 motor. I have 30 in all four shocks, 5k diff fluid in front and 3k in the back, I run Losi yellow springs on rear and TT red on front.

airmayle

That sounds like a good setup. Show us a pic with the lid off. How do you like the carbon fiber chassis, is it worth the money for that upgrade?

I need to tune the differential. I was thinking 10k front , 5k back.

P bomstad

I will post more pics later dont have any with the lid off on the laptop. It had all the upgrades when I purchased it so I dont know if it made a difference or not.

P bomstad

Here are a couple with the lid off

I'm running a Castle 4600kv in mine and it's pretty quick. I have a 3 cell lipo coming this week so I'll be getting it ready for some speed runs. I have Castle 1410 3800kv motor sitting in its box, I plan on running that motor with the 3 cell lipo.

Also I'm waiting for Tower to get parts in stock so I can get a order placed so I can fix the front end.

P bomstad

I havent had any issues with anything other then the front arms. They suffer alot when you use the pipes and car to play plinko..
