Hmm thats good to know. I will probably just use the stock ackerman for know cuz im buying a dremel and a new steering servo. The other half will get mad if I spend to much $

jombo

i dont plan on replacing mine unless i get into a real bad crash and need to replace parts, the stock one is fine and i can deal with the slop its not that critical. now a starter box is better cash spent if you want to use a high powerd motor, that would be a better investment.

Does anyone have any opinions on the sportwerks .21 engine ?

tcflyr

First off I would like to say great forum! I bought a ST-1 and you guys are really helpfull. Now a couple of questions, Does anyone have the length of the steering rods when doing the steering mod from center to center at the rod ends? I saw the length of the turnbuckle posted but I might use different ends so the length would be appreciated. One more, I have a bunch of zero offset wheels I want to use and am thinking about getting some hub extensions from ofna. Are they a direct fit? shimming needed? Thanks for your help.

Spikeman both the sportwerks v2 engines are great. The .26 is a little monster of a motor.

i think 80 mm not too sure but here is the total mod from truggy racers

I have the 15mm ofna hub extenders. I got mine from amain https://www.amainhobbies.com/advance...N30058&x=8&y=6
Here is another link http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll....cWAT.m240.lVI
There are two sets of holes on the extenders. You will have to drill out the hole closest to the bottom of the hub with a 3mm drill bit. The hubs come with 2.5 mm holes but the ST-1 uses 3mm pins. Then carefully sand the bottom of the extender to take off a little of the rim. After that you can just slide them on and insert the pin. Be sure not to drill the hole too much. You want the pin to be tight when its inserted. Its a much cheaper fix then getting offset wheels and new tires. With the extenders you can also use the straight tie rod ends which are stronger then the bent ones. Or you can use kyosho ends. RPM makes a set of tie rod ends but I dont know for sure if they fit the ST-1 tie rods.
Hope this helps. If you need anymore help just email me.

you can use your stock turnbuckle eyelits , just get some aluminum rod from your local hardware store and just thread the end with a die

Mr.Slave

so im gunna be picking up a receiver pack, whats the best one to get? also whats a good charger to get for it? prefferably not one i have to leave over night pretty sure those are useless.

ericem

lmao i use a wall charger that charges the battery overnight, been using one for over 2 years no problems. Anything 6v 1400mah + and stick pack is perfect.

madmax22

ok well I just finished the steering mod. it was pretty easy. we are getting 2-7 inches of snow then an ice storm! so during that time I will put it back together and im letting my throttle servo dry out so yea.

I recently bought a TTR ST-1. Here's what its doing:

1> When I start it, on idle it starts rolling
2> It turns off as soon as I take off the glow igniter

How do I fix these problems?

madmax22

number 1. your idle it too high

number 2. you are running to rich lean it 1/8 turn. or keep it like that and let the motor warm up w/ the igniter in and take it off once it warmed up. (try not to lean it too much being that you are still in break in)

Mr.Slave

make sure its broken in before you start leaning..

Anyone using a pack like this? It looks like it will barely fit. I have to find my ruler to be sure.

KeithjV

Thats going to be too big to fit in the box. Im using this http://cgi.ebay.com/2-6v-1300ma-BATT...QQcmdZViewItem
They work great. There is another one on that site with a charger for a few dollars more.

madmax22

http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/14446 I use that one http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/18689 but this one comes w/ the charging thing. (My LHS guy made me a custom one )

chedster

Ya I need something with a higher capacity. I bought an ace high torque servo and dont think those will last to long racing but I could be wrong

KeithjV

Those are the same size packs. I hate racers edge though. I had nothing but problems with their batteries, they wouldnt hold a charge.

KeithjV

You wont see a noticeable difference between a 1300 and 1500 mah pack. Maybe a minute or two.

ericem

I had a racer edge pack as well I used in my MGT same problem. I just went to some cheap pack on ebay been working awesome. In the ST-1 IMO stick fits the best.

ericem

oh thats what you mean't. Ya like madmax said to rich. Maybe lean out the high speed needle first 1/8 turn. Then go to the low speed needle if it still does it.

chedster

You guys know any 5cell AA packs around 2500mah that will fit in the st-1 box?

KeithjV

Those packs are too big. I have a 2600mah pack and it just wouldnt fit. I needed about 1/4" more room then the box had. And I use a spektrum radio which has a small receiver and I just couldnt get it to fit.

chedster

dang! Thanks
