Set backs
 

Anyone use the set backs with Hybrids? Mine won't fit!!!

Yea, I have heard that you will encounter slight problems like that when mixing UE/FLM parts...

I think I can shave the bulks a tad....should be fine....RC is Modding right!

Yea, you should be able to file something down to fit....Either the arm or the bulk....

It's less than a mm, so i'll do the bulk, that way, if i ever change bulks to vbs, i can still use the arms.

thats thinking - good choice on shaving the bulks

I used mine on the FLM's. i didn't need to take off much, not a mm.

Yeah, it's less than that, very minimal...jsut using a file, try it, take a little more, try it, take a little more, and walla!
Thanks walter! I thought about taking material from the arm, but then there is compromising the strength as well, so i figured, plenty there on the bulk, just shave a tad and good to go.

Serum - did it work well for you?

glad you were able to get it on.....a few more peices and your back in business

Setback rear upper arm question
 

Is it normal for the upper rear arm brace to be close to the diff cup? It just seems awfully close when it comes down, and it touches the diff cup. Is this normal?

Got a picture of exactly what your talking about?

No it's not normal....mine is a good 4mm or so from even coming close to touching the diff cup....

Well after looking at mine a little bit..I think you might have your camber off on the outer knuckle....you do have those on right.....if not it will hit....and you need to use the hole on the top row..I think the second one from the end of the knuckle ( the side that faces the upper arm...)

Cool, i got it.
Serum, did it work well with your Hybrids?

I'm using my setbackers with the FLM Hybrids and it work flawlessly, not befor filing off some material from the arms, though.
BTW, neweuser, do you have some pics of your truck with the RacerX suspension? I would like to see it.

It's still in the process, but I'm as far as you in those pics. I still need some pillow balls and bearings. The Front, i need the knuckles and upper and lower arms. It's all coming in pieces, I get some here and there wehn money allows. Slow progress. I'll get some pics of the rear as soon as i can. Thanks guys!

ya , been there done that...with the slow process...that's how i built my truck..and now I'm doing it agian . but making it into a more effecient racer......you will get there...and it will be worth it...if you have any questions...you know where to find me....besides..it is a long winter

Very true. I was really hoping to have it done by now though. The suspension is just getting done in the meantime. beyond the suspension, I'm just waiting on a few more items and I'm ready to rock!

sweet, sounds like your in the same boat as I am...just waiting for a few items is all.......

Few items?!!

You mean the Slipperential, eh?

ya ...that is one of the few items...along with the motor that I have on it's way to germany.....just to say a few

Yes, that and a few others. In the next month or so, my truck will be complete. I should get progress pics up soon.

And I'm preparing for my Phase.2 MaxxTruggy.
I'll be buying, God willing, a bulk of parts from UE, G-Maxx and Hardcore racing
hopups.
I'll make it as truggy as possible.
O' yeah, and Mike's inventive Slipperential, of course.

I think we are all waiting for that...

Are we????
Shayne, you have 500+ now

woohoo...the golden 500....yippee...but I think we all are just waiting troy....just waiting is all

Patience is virtue!
GO MIKE! LOL

waiting are we, patient must we be...

Neweuser,

Since the set-backs don't fit I think you should sell them to me cheap!

:027:

Sure, 200.00! They are yours! :)

Well, as the saying goes..... "ask a stupid question......."

;)

just order you a set...they are only $60.00 I eleive for both of them is all.....

Yup, 60 for a pair of arms.

Darn, and here I thought I could end up with two sets! hehe :)

:D

Yes, I know they are $60 at UE. Just messin with neweuser!

:005:

Too funny! I knew you were! Mike has them too! :)

I wish I got that lucky!

You can get them from Robin. All worn out and smashed for free!!
