My Build will start soon.
I'm still waiting alot parts to arrive.

I have run this car almost 30packs 6s now.
I need change all Diff Oils now.

I have mount Hex wideners today. 13mm Plus each side

These are GPM.
I'm happy they fit Perfect. And they are also very light weight.
Almost same weight with stock ones.
Part number is Arro10 GPM RACING.
The best thing with these Hexes for me is that also Traxxas 3.8" rims fit.
They take stock and also TRX Rims.

Here you can see Traxxas rims got special 17mm hex

I like the 1/2 Offset TRX rims alot. They have also nice fitting to Proline 3.8 tires.

Now my car is about 2inch wider with these new Hex Adapters and 1/2 offset TRX Rims.

This looks Awsome to me.

Shocks
Stock these are filled with 2000sct oil.
This is normally for diffs. I will try change the Oils to 1000sct in the beginning.
I also try different springs.
Now i will test Mugen Springs.
These are couple mm taller.
With softer oil , and taller Springs maybe i found better handling.

i will share the Spring part numbers soon if they work well.

And alot more is on way. This is just the beginning.

Thank you for visit my Build log here.

If you have Question or good Ideas, share them please.
I try my best answer them.

The Stock Hexes was hard get off. I needet heat the hex screws with soldering gun alot before they come loose.
After they got heaten it was easy change them.

Hello all RC lovers.

I wish you all feel good and are happy.

Me self got bad luck this time.
I'm not giving up, Promise

The new Mugen springs are great by feeling in hands.
I believe these will do alot good to this Truggy.

The stock Shocks had 2000sct oil.
They dont move almost.

Now i have 1000sct and the New Springs.
I have also try these 1000sct shocks with stock springs.

They are too hard with both springs yet.
Anyway better.
Now they move.
And with Mugen springs even better.
Not perfect anyway.

I need try change the oils again to more lighter.
Like 850 rear and 700 in front.
Then maybe they start feel good.

I want them stiff in the end anyway when i jump this car in Gravel Pit. Huge Jumps in future i will do.
The tuning screw is at highest level now, Så i can also then make them alot stiffer if i want , situations when i want make sick jumps.

Alot new fresh Maintaince products did arrariwe today by post.
Proline Tire Glue.,, Green Grease.. Hudy Super Diff grease. Medium loc tite. Different oils. 18t pinion. And alot new Badlands 3.8 tires.

First try whit new springs and shock oils.
Photo Shows strange white shock cap. Maybe its oil still, I have not dry them with paper yeat.
In real there is no Damage.
Everything is fine.

Next week alot option parts will Arrive.
And other things.

Please come back next week .
I show you all alot more then

Have a great weekend all. Bash hard and enjoy your life ! We only live Ones.

Hello all.

Just one quick update.

I have been working on the Shocks almost whole day today.
Try different manufacturers Springs, and setting.

The absolute best is Stock Springs. 1000sct oil in all 4.
For allroad and offroad.

For speedrunning the Mugen springs are little better. Not for offroad.

If you have Talion or Kraton,. Change the shock oils right now to 1000sct.
You will love it.
Its like night and day.
This is Huge improvment.

Now the shocks act great,
With stock 2000sct they were almost like Dead


See you next week. I will have alot Options that arrives next week.
The build starts very soon. Alot Pictures will come then.

Take care all
