my ken block...

[jatomaxx3]

well i got my goodies today consisting of traxxas ken block car cvd's,rpm carriers and front and rear arms,gh aluminium rocker arms dual batteries etc. and much more to come

one thing iam disappointed in the craftsmanship of my body the stickers are falling off ,not on right ,air bubbles under them

pics up tomorrow

[MaxxWrecker07]

Good luck with the RPM arms... they're gonna be too long!

[pavmentsurfer]

The rally uses the same arms as the slash. If he bought slash arms they will fit fine.

[MaxxWrecker07]

Does RPM make Slash arms? I was under the assumption by the wording above that the arms are RPM, and AFAIK, they don't make them for the Rally/Slash. I would like to be wrong!

no they don´t make them.

[pavmentsurfer]

In did nod not know that. You learn something new every day I guess. My mistake

[Double G]

According to RPM's website I do not see the arms listed. So I assume they do not make them for the 1/16 Slash, only the MERV.

Absolutely correct .... darn it

[jatomaxx3]

yep apparently they guy at the hobbyshop supplied me with all the goodies for the ken block car but the cvd's are to long and the rpm arms are to big sucks cause they dont do returns even tho it was his fault

but the gyro works that ive purchased from them for ten bucks when the price on it is 159.95 and is a futaba

[SnoopMaxx]

You could put the CVD and A-Arms up in the BST section

[jatomaxx3]

[tirado_881]

I have been able to run mine with single stock battery and damp roads from fog and melting snow. the thing is awesome. gotta find a nice parking garage to use it in

You've got it all blinged out now man. Sure is purty!

How come you've got the gyro mounted as far rearward as possible? Sort of defeats its whole purpose, doesn't it?

[pavmentsurfer]

What wheels are those... I like em. Also, how did the aluminum arms effect the weight? Are they alot heavier than the stock plastic?

[jatomaxx3]

not really mine is awful touchy and works pretty good just had to turn the gain up a lil and it is a little to big for the side with the trx plate

[justfasstenuff]

Would it fit in the battery box?
My understanding is that they don't work well unless you get it to as close to the center/middle of the car as possible, something about it reading the center of the rotating axis of the vehicle. Moving it too far forward it won't respond at all, and moving it too far rearward and it overreacts.

the wheels are bbs rs reps...

and the weight they felt like they weighed the same my car with two batteries in it compared to the stock rally feels only about a pound heavier ill have to weigh them and get back to you

[justfasstenuff]

idk mine does what it suppose to right where it is .....

Really? Your car's so clean and without a scratch it doesn't even look like you're run it yet.

ive been running everyday since i got it lol...going out tonight

Not doubting you man, but what have you been running on a slick tennis court? Those tires don't even look scuffed. I ran those BFGs for about 2 minutes when I first got my Rally, and they're not shiney like yours.

[jatomaxx3]

[jatomaxx3]

yea those are fresh just painted the wheels so them havent been ran yet but i like them better than the slicks that came factory those are worn down pretty good

[justfasstenuff]

Personally, I couldn't get those off fast enough, I needed something with more grip.
I figure I might give the stock treads another try this summer when the asphalt is hot.

[jatomaxx3]

yea that is one of the problems i had it would never really hooked up
