new Academy 2WD

[jimmy]

A nice champ from Korea emailed me today with some photos of a possible new 2WD from Academy - the car looks pretty right in the cad drawings, I guess it depends how they put it into production now.

that dont look too bad, it has to be better than that griffen pro thing they did ....

That looks pretty good, Looks like a B4 rear end with a Losi Cr front.

the guy who designed the sb sport is the guy who designs the mugen cars(if you ever had a academy trade catologue you would be amazed ),but obviously the griffin was way before his time as that came out in 97 originally.

wonder if its the same guy who has done this.

i just purchased a GV2 over the week end and im in need of some information on the shocks im a old losi guy im not sure what shock top they want you to use 7mm or 9mm and what is the over all length of the front & rear shocks. any help would be greatly app.

[Mr X]

they want you to use the long shock tops and the longer bottoms as well.


also i was wondering about the VLA on the car. i run narrow position and if i go to wide will that change the camber gain as well as making the suspension softer? so having it in the wide position would make the car have less grip at that end? i would like to prevent traction roll on a carpet track.

It will cause the car to have more side bite, and yes you will have more camber gain since the difference between the lower and uper arms is greater with a long MLP...assuming the link length doesnt change

[thom.p]

do you like those novak ''lights''

[rcrcman]

Its alot smoother, the brakes feel alot better too.... yes I like it so far
