They run 31/29 easily and still have plenty of take off with 6K clutch.Ice_2k said:Took it out today, ran great. I noticed that, compared to a few months ago when the outside temperature was much hotter, it gained almost 1000rpm at the top, it almost hit 17.000 and about 63km/h (40mph). That means that simply switching the A and B gears would get me to about 70km/h, which is not bad at all
The front stock tires are designed for steering. For snow people usually get the hostile MX with hostile ice screws screwed on the spikes. Personally I don't like the idea of screws rotating at 3000+ rpm lol!Ice_2k said:Did anybody here run a Dunerunner in the snow? I'm thinking of having some fun by building a snow plow and mounting it on the front of the DR and I was wondering if the stock tires are any good in the snow. Looking at them, it seems like the stock front tires aren't gonna give me any traction, they look more like steering tires for a rwd car (which they probably are lol).
Have a look on you tubeIce_2k said:Yeah, especially since I'm gonna have my 2-year old next to me, the screws are a big no-no. If it turns out to be completely pathetic in the snow, I'll probably go for a full set of bowties... or maybe the snow padels for the rear and keep the front for steering. Altough I saw some videos with people running sand/snow padels and they seem to create CRAZY vibrations on the carIt really sucks that Redcat didn't update the front tires after going to 4wd. They even kept them with a larger diameter than the rears, while having a locked central diff....
Wet or light snow, yes. But packed snow or not so fresh, paddle won't last long. Hostile mx will.Phill said:I think the only way you'll get traction in snow is with paddles
Is that 2wd?Ice_2k said:Had some fun today
Idle was a little highdesigned2survive said:Great run and fun! Little high idle or lean low needle?
Nope. It's just that insanePhill said:Is that 2wd?
Btw, I noticed that, without touching any screws, the idle rpm is going up as the engine gets warmer. Is that normal?designed2survive said:Great run and fun! Little high idle or lean low needle?
That's interesting, I'll give that a try when I take it out next time, see if richening the LSN a bit will help.crankestein said:Not sure on 2 stroke gaso engines, but on nitro whenever the idle creeps or tends to stay high after warming up, and/or a few tanks, then its running lean.
Thanks. I've actually got quite used to it, it's (almost) always sliding the way I want it to I really like drifting it, so I got lot of practice with it (as evidence by the tarmac busters that got destroyed in just a few tanks lol)crankestein said:Nice buggy, very nice doing some drifting. I was biting my nails whenever you would pass close to the white square buildings, as the buggy was sliding too much sometimes
