could this set up be done on a 1 18scale ?

[kavisl]

@cubenitup I am not sure. But nothing is impossible :)

[rogueangel2k]

With your suspension sitting so low, the bump steer that is natural on a rustler is affecting both tires steering effectively... Take that weight off and loosen your slipper.

[kavisl]

@rogueangel2k Thanks for the tip but with no weight it's impossible to keep the front down. I do know the front suspension is out nuts since there is close to no travel at all.

[rogueangel2k]

@kavisl I would then suggest you do what I've done. Put a wing on the front of your truck, once you get to a certain speed, your nose will just simply not rise... then you can not worry about the extra weight and fix that bump steer. :) Just a suggestion... good video.

@rogueangel2k thanks for tip. Converted to 1/8 scale. :)

i think its broken lol or is it weird go pro illusions

[kavisl]

@judgegixxer Well those are SP racing and I was never able to find them again. I have 2 sets but now I am running GRP's without any issues. Good luck with your speed run.

[judgegixxer]

Forgive me if I missed it but what kind of front tires are those? They don't expand. I'm having bad luck finding good tires for mine. Until my XO-1 arrives at least. Great vids man, I do the same kinda thing check mine out. Might actually go do a speedrun today.
