No I don’t. I use droop blocks to set droop.

So the blocks are for droop settings. I would still continue to do it that way, as I’ve found it to be a more accurate method than measuring shock length. I don’t believe the setup station would provide this as it will use the suspension to compensate for a difference in droop settings. I’ve started using the Klinik droop kit, and it works very well. I need to do a video on it. Also the Hudy setup station which I now use too.

@@D70racing thanks, so will it be okay to do it without the blocks. I have the 6mik setup station, do you know how to do the front toe. The long bar comes with 2 holes with zero either side but I can't put then on it because the buggy has toe out

Sorry what I mean is do I adjust one side at a time for toe in

@@ceff01 yes while on the setup station, you’ll need the radio on and buggy powered. Use the top plate to adjust toe one side at a time. Set camber also then recheck toe as it will change with adjusting camber.

@@ceff01 you only need the blocks to set droop. That would be without it being on the setup station. So separate job. Hope this helps. If not keep asking questions

Motor has performed great. No issues over a full race season and many practice days. Once the weather turns, I’ll pull it out and give it an inspection.

@@D70racing What pinion sizes have you tried and what works best with this motor?

@@taz7173 I’ve run a 15t pinion on both 1/8 E Truggy’s I’ve used this motor in. With 44-46 tooth spur gears.

sendit-rc.com/product/platinum-hv417/

Both the 4274 motors, the g2 and the g3 are the same length.

More adjustability and designed for racing.

@@D70racing yess can you explain what is the main difference other than adjustability for it to be called design for racing? Is it more smoother? Or is it more durable? Or what?

@@TH-camrngajelas The max 8 is part of HW ezrun line. Meant for lighter weight bashers or budget racing. The xr8 pro is the top of the line Xerun series. Better materials are used and specific software with tuning options geared for racers. It really depends on your application and budget.

That’s great. Yes if you go down to 4s you will notice the difference in overall speed. But imo 4s is much more controllable and easier on equipment.

@@D70racing that was my opinion. I thought I might make up for the loss of voltage by getting the higher end matched set. I’m curious because I have these very similar speed cars and so I’ll be able to tell a difference easily

@@D70racing so got my new matched pair in TODAY Super excited when I flip it over and on the bottom of the esc it says. 2-6S lipo. So Now I’m thinking maybe I can stick with the 6S setup AND get the extra 50 amps. Kind of blows me away just how small this is

@@jimmyv1753 Yes it is compact. I believe if it says 6s then you bought the xr8 plus g2. Same esc but able to run 6s. Honestly I see no difference physically, so it’s either just programming or internal heat protection.

@@D70racing yes you are absolutely correct. That isn’t what I was expecting to show up but after looking back that’s what I ordered. I thought for certain I ordered the Pro version but I was wrong. I guess I didn’t realize the pro was 4S and plus was 6. Happy accident.

That I’m not sure of. But I can find out for you.

So you need something in a 550 size can. Maybe something like 3200kv. A motor you would find in a short course truck.

@@D70racing so no 1/8 motor? Castle creations 1515 or 1512? There is a 1512 2600kv for running on 4S? Or should I go for higher KV and stick with 3S?

@@Cachapeluo I asked my lhs owner and that’s what he told me. So I would say no on the 1/8 motor. You can contact them if you want to. Rc Madness in Enfield CT. Ask for Chris or Tyler. 860 741-6501 Hope this helps

Why wouldn’t it work? They come with a much higher KV value near 3300kv if I’m not mistaking so it’s similar to the brushless granite motor wise. Very slightly more amps with probably the dynamite 130 esc. So is it an issue of will it fit? Because if you pull one esc and motor out and replace it with a similar scale sized esc and motor it’ll work. It might require a different pinion or battery. I Now if I’m way out of line I apologize. Maybe there is a consideration I’m missing. I’d say go for it with a slightly larger pinion and a decent 4S. Should run like an ape. I’ve modified a dozen RCs and the only time I’ve had real issues is when I’ve tried cheaper quality ESCs. They just don’t perform consistently. I’d love to hear what you decided and how it performed.

When I was ready to purchase it. I emailed Adam Drake and told him I was buying the FP02 and wanted him to do the ebis break in. He explained how to buy it on the Mugen Racing site and opt for will call pickup, with a note saying for Adam to break in. This way he takes it, does his thing, and you just pay the shipping and “Drake in” service directly to Adam. Saves the extra shipping costs if you bought it, shipped to you, then to Adam, and back again.

@@D70racing Awesome. Thanks! I'm looking into doing the same thing

@@timsgarage1861 Yes it works out great. It’s a heck of a deal, for what you get. Once I got the motor. I put 3 tanks through it. 2 idle and one cruising around figure 8 style. Then a 4th on track going about 75%. Then after that I raced it. I had no issues as it ran great all race weekend.

@@D70racing Sounds great. I think you sold me on it

Want a how to video?

@@D70racing no just was going thru some vids figured I bust your chops but it’s a vid some need to look at an invest in I see guys with camber gauge&some with ride height an done put don’t have battery are body on an some no tires

Awesome! Thanks for watching

On the box is xr8 pro G2. Thanks for watching.

Glad it helped. Thanks for watching.

I’ll let you know as soon as I find out. I’ll be there racing Friday night

@@D70racing ty very much just dont want to go out there an hang in trailer an not be-able to race cause then I'll just spend $$$$

Absolutely

@@D70racing see you then i should be there like 8 am 830 trying to get a spot behind driverstand keep the dust down

@@roberttannenbaum6779 that’s a good plan Robert. I just hope it doesn’t rain.

@@D70racing im hoping the weather is at least ok like this week i need a test an tune day never ran these cars yet

@@roberttannenbaum6779 oh yeah I forgot you got a couple fresh kits. I know your probably working but there is a Friday night race planned this week as well.

Thanks for watching and for the excellent comments.

I agree

Thank you

It’s a os spec 2 /os ty 110%. Only thing different is graphics and venturi is plastic not metal

Yes OS Spec II as well as the Ty Tessman 110% All same engines

Thanks bro. That’s great to hear, let me know if I can offer any help or advice.

@@D70racing will do

Yeah man I’m using it now getting my stuff ready for spring. Every time I use it amazes me how well it works.

Yea purple power I heard can do that. My one buddy told me about that. I tried it as a cleaner didn’t like it. Simple green worked better for me.

I have an Arrowmax setup station

Its all good was just busting your chops

Thanks. I uploaded a couple yesterday. Have a look 👍🏼

Hey man thanks. I want to congratulate you on running DNC. I know it wasn’t easy, but I commend you on getting out there and making it happen.

@@D70racing thanks buddy. Just the first of many.
