Suspension Conversion Kit - I HATE IT

[tradami]

So far my shopping list is:

a) Steering servo
b) 2.4 Ghz radio
c) Big bore shocks
d) new knuckles if this doesnt fix it.
e) Three new gear sets for my Traxxas 2075 to put back in my T-maxx

Bought my servo. It was $120 plus tax. I installed it. I LOVED it!!

..For the 5 minutes my car ran. My tires were real loose so I tightened them up and they were still loose, so I tightened the center nut a bit because it seemed loose. I must have tightened it too loose cause then it wouldnt rotate well. So I took it off and there seems to be a pin missing.... I tried taking the other one off to see if the pin was in that one, and I cant even get it off. Here's pictures... Also, as you can see, the "steering stop" was grinded off.

Grinded off...

Thanks

Can anyone give me an information regarding my pictures?

Every time I think I'm caught up and am finally able to drive the car, something else breaks. I'm getting so frustrated with it I want to just throw it away!

Lol... I make up a new pin, fits nicely, works nicely. Install it. Check over the entire car to make sure it's good. Start her up. Take her for a lap and a half around the yard (Not a big yard). Used right turns. Both left wheels fall off.... the lock nuts apparently were worn out. I managed to find the pin (don't ask me how).

Now to buy new lock nuts.

Took some off my un-useable t-maxx. Lock tited them also. Drove it for about 5 minutes... now my brake linkage fell off. I lost the tubing, the washer, and the nut/knob on the end..

Ok lil feed back .. That was version 1 and should not have been ground ... you had the good one.

Sorry it took me a bit to reply I have not been around lately

The guy that had it before me bought it and it was a shelf queen. The engine was never run. He took the servos out.


On the plus side, I got it fixed. Oddly, the knob that goes on the end of the brake linkage, is part of the the shock accessory set. Anyways, I got it all on there, put a piece of fuel tubing on there and it was good to go.

I started her up and drove her around a bit. Got her nice and warmed up. Did some tuning. Watched as it improved. I ran about 2 tanks in her and her performance seemed to be where it should be. When I make a WOT pass, afterwords the idle seems to kick up and then return to normal. I've heard two takes on this:
1) Because I've only ran about 8 or 9 thanks through it, it's still breaking in and this is common.

2) My HSN is set too lean.


However with 2), it does it even at factory settings and I can see by smoke and performance that it is WAY too rich.


After tuning a bit, I think I have it where it should be. It seems to be just on the rich side, but it still performs well. It will do a wheelie and flip itself right on it's back.

I also noticed the idiot who put the tires on the rims did it incorrectly. That, or this rim is off balance or something. Because when it rotates it looks like the wheel isn't centered.


Everything FINALLY seems alright.

well i do believe i could be wrong but the 5755 is for 5th scale stuff and i don't think will fit in the savage radio box. so i would go with the second one the 5805.

Get the 7955tg it is awesome but u will have to get a HD servo save spring

I hate the RSC it turns like a tank unless you are on a track. I plan on taking the front off and returning to stock.

 

[88gtanotchback]

you must not have it set up if you think it turns like a tank with it installed. i wonder what the problem is?

 

[frddyj]

sounds like he has version 2 and didnt mod it. common problem cauzing this issue.

 

[SwampDawg]

Probably the servo rod from the servo arm to servo saver may not be straight
