they are alot cheaper than the kyosho ones, and so far worth every penny, and the customer service is outstanding.

but yeah it still hurt the credit card....lolol

I'm going to start rebuilding my Moog Trugg for the indoor season. Maybe I'll pick a set and give em' a try.

Any tips on building them (i.e. piston / springs / oil) or is that "classified information"? LOL

[MX_KEVIN]

Holy Droop Batman...That buggy is standing at attention. Do those dogbones go level?

[allan42r]

kevin ya going to lh sun?

[chickenfarmer3]

ya kev...that was before running them, it is actually a little below level when running.

not secret info at all, i am running the #1 pistons which is like 1.5 holes, in both vehicals, 400 front 350 rear in both, blue springs on front of truggy red on rear, blue on front of buggy greens on rear. i think i am real close on where i want it to be, i will know more after this weekend.

That's cool.

Did all of those springs come standard with the shocks or did you have to buy them separately?

[chickenfarmer3]

comes with 2 sets of springs and 2 sets of brass pistons, brass bushings (instead of plastic), bodies, caps, retainers, you need to use your little plastic bushings in caps, losi bladders, and your shafts and ends, then they use mugen orings and retainer clips from the old style moooo shocks.

Thanks Chad.

Niice chad.

Ok to I took the mugen out to lh today which is beat up... Rear end was real loose. What can I do to improve upon this? I tried gators and lugz and it did it with both.

Oh and do mugens usually fly cockeyed? Wouldn't stay level (left/right) for anything...Might have been the jumps though.

[chickenfarmer3]

check for a bent hinge pin or shock shaft dude, 2.75 or 3 rear toe, -3 camber in rear, 400,350 in shocks, i am sure the "beat upness" didnt help either.

[chickenfarmer3]

no prob STAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! if ya get them i be more than glad to help. lemme know before ya order them if thats what ya decide to do and i will get ya in touch with him, he is hard to get ahold of, one man operation and each one is hand milled and inspected one at a time.

[Ponch]

Ok. I'll check that tomorrow, probably change oils.

I was running a x.4 swaybar up front, instead of x.3 (x=i don't remember) could that make the car be more spin out-ey?

[J-Dub]

well the suspension wouldnt compress as much theoreticly, a stiffer front will transfer more traction to the rear, so I've been learning from Forza...but I dont know if it has any application here. ^_^

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

a stiff rear sway bar will cause that

[Ponch]

Ok. I'll check and see which one that is too.

[MX_KEVIN]

kevin ya going to lh sun?

I will be there but im not sure if the hubs will. I emailed him tuesday and fot this reply on wends.

im not a hobby shop keeping spares in stock and to then go on ebay and try to save a dollar on a part thats in stock at lh and has been for a while:mad:
dont reply back

[chickenfarmer3]

dude, i cant believe you ordered that from ebay????? WTF?

[MX_KEVIN]

Sorry, was just convenant for me and I had money in paypal to use. Not like I was looking for some cheap parts, Hell I think I paid what it is anyway. I did ask LH if they had them and was told they needed to order also. This guy on ebay had my clutch springs also for my Fioroni clutch so I ordered from him.
Im sorry and did not expect this delay. When LH opens Ill ask again If they have them and make sure they have them at the track sunday. I appreciate what you did for me and I want to make it right.

[chickenfarmer3]

just bustin your sack bro......i buy my stuff else where too....

al i gots some of those if ya need one before them come in.

[MX_KEVIN]

he already lent me a hub package (which he didnt have to and again Im very appreciative)... Its the return I got to get him.

And got on msn biotch!!!

[MX_KEVIN]

Al, LH does have them now and I had a set sent to the track for sunday...Hope your still not mad at me, and I hope you'd still help me out in the future. Sorry. :wavey:

[allan42r]

the hubs have been on the wall at the shop for two weeks. and kevin you didnt deserve all that and im sorry i went off this mornin just walked in the door been gone all week since sunday afternoon. this week sucked. most of my problem with my parts going out to help have been going to one person who has not returned anything even motors and servos and this person is about to wreck it for the rest.
