RE: DuraTrax 1/5 DX450 Brushless On/Off-Road Motorcycle

I backordered my forks from tower a couple weeks ago. Still haven't gotten them. They look nice. How do they help the bike?

Damn!! Sorry to hear that. Hope it didn't damage anything else. Are you saying the oil steering damper works at normal speeds?
Is the stock system ok with 3s?

RE: DuraTrax 1/5 DX450 Brushless On/Off-Road Motorcycle

Does the bolt thread all the way thru the axle and come out the other side? If so did you do this on both axles? I would like to do this to the rear axle for sure.
Let me know how the damper...

Microdan if you replace your set up now with the duratrax unit and you put it in the same spot I did you will need to flip that Large Allen screw around that goes thru the tank slapper unit. The nut...

RE: DuraTrax 1/5 DX450 Brushless On/Off-Road Motorcycle

"Love" is too strong a word just yet. "Like" fits the bill. I gotta get one of those riders from you. I keep forgetting.

Question::: Can I use 3S in this thing?

RE: DuraTrax 1/5 DX450 Brushless On/Off-Road Motorcycle

Duratrax sells an optional part called a "Steering set oil" Do you think this is their version of a damper?
Also, Should I take out those weights in the gyro you mentioned in an earlier post?
