got a little more done to the FLM build

added a little peace of metal the servo mid tank plate for the ofna 250 tank , the metal was from a can opener that came with a pack of marlboro 72s



I did want the carbon fiber plate from platinum rc that is ment for the ofna tank but I hear he is trying to sell his business and people have been waiting along time to get there orders , may be I'll give him a call and see whats up

few up date's on the builds

FLM mid tank build

IRC mind tank build

I took off my riged mit tank kit off the IRC build and have a used IRC mid tank kit on the way (had to buy a IRC roll to get it LOL) ,but I'm very happy to have found this mid tank kit so now it will be A full IRC build , and it will make the test of FLM against IRC more true , I'm trying to keep these builds as even as I can to keep it fair , But I have a feeling IRC will win because the FLM engine plate seem's week to me and I'm very good at breaking engine plate's I've had stock plate's crack on a good 25 foot landing , need to do a little more home work on shock set up I did pick up the stiffer hellfire springs now I'm thinking 35WT shock oil , any info on stock big bore shock set up for bigger air would be greatly appreciated , Thanks

Keep the bigbores around 25wt oil for big air. And remember you want the chassis to slap the ground with some air .

Well gona put my builds on hold for a bit , need to up grade my TX been having lots of glitching problems sense I upgraded servo , I tryed glitch buster with no luck then tryed a LiPo rx set up still no luck so I looked a little deeper into the ploblem turn's out it's my low end (cheap) TX and RX just could not keep up with the power I needed for the servo's causing it to glitch every 30,sec ,well not really a glitch it would run fine for 30 or so sec then the servo's would open up and freeze for about 30 sec , I was lucky every time it happen my X would wheelie onto its lid could of easily smashed into something or even hit one of my buddies and take out someone's leg .
So I did alot of reading and looking around even talk to the owner http://www.harbor-hobby.net/ about the best TX for all around uses and it came down to the Futaba 4PL 2.4GHz S-FHSS Radio System w/R2104GF Receiver

hey just to let u know rebuild the lrp .32 u can't get parts so if u brake something look out!!!

 

[rebuild]

most of the LRP.30 parts will fit , they'll come out with them soon , as for me I don't normally rebuild the engine I just replace it , buy time you get bearings , piston & sleeve , rod , connection pin it don't take much more cash to get a new one but thats just me ,

 

[rebuild]

I could not stay away from my builds onto my TX gets here ,all most made it a hole day with out working on them LOL .
Today I put on the steering servo on the FLM build and I tryed every were just din't line up to my liking so I ended up taking off the ofna tank and mounting the servo on top and installed the Mugen Fuel Tank , still not 100% happy with it yet so I may be looking at other tank

 

[rebuild]

Being as picky as I am I had a hard time placing the 6.6v battery pack in the FLM build so I moved the 6v savox servo's to the IRC build the 6.6v battery pack fits the cen RX box like a glove , allso did a little to the linkage , I still need to do a little more bending and spring placement then fire up the radio and tune the end point

This is one awesome truck, man

 

[rebuild]

I changed things around a lot onto I'm satisfied , so if you see differnt tank set up's and other things like that it's just me trying to make it me LOL

 

[rebuild]

Today my servo came in so I installed it on the FLM build and played around with my servo tester , now I just need to read the book for the PL4 and do a final set up on the linkss and spring's

 

[rebuild]

Worked on the Electronics on the IRC build that turned out ok , and played with the links and tryed out the new futaba 4pl , I'm still not happy with the linkage so I may be trying differnt thing onto I find somthing I like a bit more.
I'm allso a little worried about being off balance with the 6.6v li-fe pack that far up front , mit try turning the cen box around
