I had to do some suspension tuning but other than that it was doing OK.

I I haven't opened the Rlaarlo diffs but from the Arrama and Traxxas, you need to shim it so there is a tiny bit of play. There should be no grinding or binding and no excessive slop. The shims are typically spec'd by inside diameter and thickness. If you need more shims, there are a bunch out...

If you want larger than 36mm, the stock mount has to go. @LibertyMKiii did a mod with a Habao mount and that seems to work well for larger motors. I'm running a TP367? ( I forget) and it plenty fast, but I'm not good enough to drive it like that.

Yes, you are correct caster. Good catch. Camber does nothing for driving straight... probably makes it a bit worse if anything. Caster helps the steering return to center faster, which helps tracking. You don't want the wonky shopping cart.

You're 100% correct. I didn't even think about it because even my 1/7th scale Limitless has fixed toe; however, that is toed in. The Rlaarlo looks dead straight, 0° rear toe and I don't see anyway to adjust it. It would also help if we could adjust the front camber. More camber helps it track...

Jenny's RC is a solid recommendation. You get factory HW, but it's not going to exactly match the Rlaarlo. I'm pretty lucky because our local hardware store carries a lot of the small screws. If I need just a few I just buy them there. There are bulk screw kits on Amazon, but I can't vouch...

You're very welcome. BTW I didn't answer the were to buy gears questions. I had an Arrma pinion and a Saga pinion that seemed to be a good ratio. The Spur gear shaft is 5mm, just make sure it's not too wide. Island Hobby Nut sells Saga gears and they are very stout (overkill). There website...

I don't have PP launch control; however, I am using the throttle delay on the Radio Link and some throttle curve on Castle ESC. The Throttle delay ramps the throttle slowly over a few second and the throttle curve allows the throttle to ramp less at the top end, which I have yet to even get...

The factory Rlaarlo AK 917 mount can only accommodate a 36mm motor. Which means the TP 4040 won't fit unless you do the Habao motor mount mod (See the video from LibertyMKiii) or slot your chassis pan. I haven't seen anyone slot the pan yet, but in theory it will work. I'm running a TP 3640...

Yes, the springs are super soft. I use a coaxial (front) and triaxial (rear) setup and it was too stiff. I 'think" I went back the stock setup because it was too stiff for the lower speeds I was running. If I as getting to 150mph it would probably be OK.

Not really, it's fits just fine that way and I didn't really have many other options. The downside is I'm space limited on the battery. The other option I thought of was to move the servo to the other side, which I didn't really play with. Eventually (probably in the new year) my plan is to...

The Mod 1 upgrade is swapping the 48P gears for Mod 1. It's a chunkier pitch of gears, stronger and seems to run smoother. It's something you can buy from Rlaarlo, you will need to figure out what gears you want and swap the pinion and spur both. If your interested, all the math is shown in...

I got a box of parts, minus some axles that are out of stock. They like to take flight when you crash. Included in that is the Rlaarlo "Bat Wings". I will need to make a splitter which shouldn't be too hard. Right now life is getting in the way and I haven't had any time to work on it.

Not yet, I have the material (ABS) and just need to cut them out and bolt them on. I also have a chunk of aluminum to relocate my servo. Unfortunately, I've had too many other things that pushed this down the list.

I figured it might b a bit much, but when I go back a year later this is my reference. The simpler explanation is to find a Mod 1 gear set that - Has a Center Distance between 52 and 65 mm, which is the same as the TTC. - The spur gear has to be less than 42mm Outside Diameter. - The pinion...

Motor Mount The sliding mount was installed. It fits on the chassis just fine. However, the hardware is questionable. Maybe I missed something? The four, not sure why there are four?, screws for the slider and they are too short. They grab about 2 or 3 threads and will strip easily. If you use...

As far as I know John Linneman is leading at 162 mph. But this is still the quals and others (VW TurboWolf and Raz Shrifrin) are on the 150's. So it should be a good race. I think John is showing his hand too much. I would sit on the lowest number to get by and post the big the big ones at the...

Quick Update No Brakes I figured out that my brakes didn't work and it would just full throttle reverse on me. You can see this in the First Drive Video, right at the beginning. At the time I didn't realize what it was doing and figured it was just a giant motor with tiny car. The setup is...

If you remove the rear cage and use a long driver you can get to it in the car. I'm using Wera hex drivers and they work. The cage come out with like four screws. Just get both screws in there barely snug, which is the hardest part. Becareful when you start the thread because it's not...

Quick update on the Traxxas 4-tec hub conversion. It works... I think. I'm still missing a part but everything seems to align pretty well. The axle is held in loosely by a single pin. They are right length axles but they didn't come the the pins or pivots. So I'm looking for those. The Traxxas...
