Just chuck them and go for ZX6 c hubs, you'll never look back. http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x87/alcyon2sp/edited_1470551723271_zpscikk8hp8.jpg Cheap, easily available, much stronger than any of the older knuckles, even the ZX-5 ones pale in comparison. You can remove the CVDs without disassemb...

Really loved the pro2. It seemed like it kept winning and winning..wanted to buy one but my lhs carried the kawada sv10 so went with that instead. Hpi shot themselves in the foot with the pro3. I remember at my local track even the established pros were struggling with their pro3's after they ditche...

Ran my car for practice on sunday. The coming race is endurance 4 hr race, but this practice was still all out speed practice. http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x87/alcyon2sp/vlcsnap-2015-10-11-21h45m29s986_zpsxgjedhmh.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x87/alcyon2sp/vlcsnap-2015-10-11-21h44m42...

Yeah.dig a hole in the ground..bury the raider..then punch full throttle...shout ahhhhhh..and watch the raider plough out of that hole to higher ground.

Really great to see. I never would use a lazer zx chasis on a optima mid..but thats just me. Interesting battery position..but if thats tbe case you must remove one top deck standoff ad you will get more flex..not sure how the car will handle in a race track..for the rear camber link i suggest you u...

After a very long hiatus due to my 1:1 car hobby, I am finally back. Some of you guys were waiting for my latest post about my RC10 worlds, but I still have not updated anyhting. iN short i lost all my imperial tools, so I cant do jack squat with my rc10 till i get new tools. Back to my optima mid. ...

the Porsche is really something ! I love those 70s - 80s Porsches.

Our friend Alcyon said he'd go kick modern 2wd butts - I assume he meant at the track. Paul I think you are right Paul. I'm looking forward to hearing how Alcyon does at the races. I'm not going to hijack his thread. If I want to discuss setting up a Rere WC as a "basher," I should probab...

That is correct. So it will be a little backlash.

http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x87/alcyon2sp/20150423_204326_zps4twbwzbx.jpg quote="tony k"]Nice write up Alcyon. I'm also interested in longer cvd shafts. The ones that come with the wc limit the amout of droop you can have. Do you know the part number for those MST 57mm cvd shafts a...

you might still be some way from kicking modern cars' rears

hehe, maybe...we'll see !

3. The drive shafts are way too short, and will pop out at full droop. As a result, I had to limit droop drastically until it affaected handling so badly. ... So now.. my plans. 4. Remove all internal limiters from rear shocks, get them to 104mm length. The re-re Worlds rear CVA shafts are the corr...

If am not mistaken, the JJ Ultima was actually closer to a turbo Ultima, with some trinity parts.
As usual, when we bought the Ultima we thought we would get world championship performance out of the box ..

I got my first associated car ever, the RC10 worlds in mid February. I was hooked after a friend of mine Foong, let me drive his, and I was instantly hooked, it was so easy to drive, unlike another buddy's TLR 22. So I bought it , but did not have the time to really set it up properly and fix the fl...

I had a really bad day on sunday the 12th of april, what was supposed to be a good showing on race day turned out to be a disaster of biblical proportions. The organizer decided not to run any finals , so we had 5 heats and from those 3 best heats will be totaled for finals result. I did not have ti...
