Help with build!

[Chris Griffiths]

Hi guys, as im new to all this im totally lost with some things.

THIS QUESTION IS SORTED!!!

[Chris Griffiths]

Also how do the hangers fit? do i need to fit smaller turnbuckles? looks like i do to me but would rather have this confirmed.

Also theres longer turnbuckles and a medium length pair do these go at front? if so which way around.


Thanks

[Chris Griffiths]

another problem is when my wheels are level my drive shafts jusy about go in my outrives?

Chris, depending on which ballcups you settle on, yes you will need to use the shorter trunbuckles ion the rear with E-Speed hangers

Have you fitted the X-Factory axles from the kit? Did you install the supplied spacers in the coreect place (these go over the axles first - then the axles goes through the hub bearings - ie they are on the inside)

This is probably what you trouble is........

chris

E speed hangers bolt where kit ball studs should be, ball high is where most run em, yes you need shorter links.
Is your gear box in low posistion? You may need the longer axles, but thats normally on full droop.

[Chris Griffiths]

Cheers for help! yes id put spacers on outside thanks!

Also gearbox is low as set up sheet in the ellis kit

Im using all the turnbuckles that come with the ellis kit aswell as the ends that are longer than ae ones.


Cheers ill give that a go!

More problem!

when I put servo forward it hits the servo saver when wheels are straight, would you dremmel the servo saver down?

using a savox

Hi Chris,

I have meet the same "problem" with the servo arm.

Check your tool box, maybe u will find an alloy futaba servo arm. That avoids the problem

[Darren Boyle]

Are we talking about ther servo saver (ie bellcranks) or the servo horn here?

Indeed the servo horn on a Savox servo may well catch the front chassis area sue to the Savox servos being slighly larger in this area. Removal of some material in this area will cure this or using an alloy servo arm (slimmer than the stock AE plastic one) will also work.....

[Chris Griffiths]

It was my servo saver hitting the case of servo, I simply removed bulky sticker now it's fine!

Felt like it was hitting alot at first but obviously not.

By the way why no shock bladders in the ae shocks?? Oh my god there hard to get right. Over an hour on one shock so far and can't get the rebound right

[usafaircrew]

Get the AE bleeder caps. It makes AE shocks much easier to get each shock the same.

Got them! must be somthing im doing wrong but think ive had enough. losi shocks for me.


Chris

[mark christopher]

Chris you dont get bladders with ae shocks,
They are emulsification shocks , and are piss easy to build, i can do a set in 5 mins tops, all the same.
You dont need rebound on em either, they shoul pull back in on full extension and come out slighty on compression. Rebound is an elec tc thing.....

Finally you dont need losi shocks, build them ae ones right, or second tnoughts buy ur losi ones and give me the ae ones lol

You can BUY the AE ones??

[Chris Griffiths]

Heres were im getting confused, in instructions it says shaft should come out 16.3mm after being compressed, this to me is rebound??? so do i disregard them and just do them so only a small ammount pops out? say 3 mm??

Chris

[mark christopher]

buy (spit) nah got3 sets lol id only be upgrading my old set to new gold shaft ones.
