[Shimmy]

Been thinking a bit more of the mechanical brakes and reverse thingy and have come to the conclusion that it will never work.

The idea of being able to switch off the brake servo to get reverse would work but the motor would always be wanting to go into reverse.

Would be cool if there was a way of getting the servo and esc to talk to each other.

I have found a way of mounting the brake servo, will require making a new servo plate and drilling a couple of holes but should fit nicely.

Not sure yet if I want to run mechanical brakes or motor brakes.
I would prefer mechanical but losing reverse and having to make a new servo plate would be a PITA.

Although if I go with the moabs I think I will have to make my own front shock tower anyway (I think I could get away with the rear one), the chassis would never bottom out I dont think.
While the rear would be very close but thinking that by the time the tyre compresses it will bottom out (with any luck).

The spur gears a little worn, might run them for a little while but will eventually put in the RC8 diff with plastic spur I think.

Gonna pull the diffs and shocks off soon to shim up and re-oil (need to get more oil), thinking of going with 20k - 50k - 10k at first but might go a bit thicker later down the track if it needs it (I have 50k, 30k and 7k right now).
What would be a good weight for the shocks?
I have some 30w (nearly empty bottle though), 40wt and 45wt
(all losi oils aside from the 45wt which is AE, have decided to stick with AE shock oils).
