I decided to go the route of GreenHell with mounting the low profile servo. also rebuilt it with all black nylon after dyeing a few parts.

I will be replacing the ball cups with some of the new black low friction one's as these white RPM's rub a little up front on while steering when the suspension is compressed, unless i can figure something else out.

That's a very nice looking build! Looking forward to seeing it done.

Looks good!

sweet!

Your build is exactly what I'm hoping to do as well. Nicely done.

Thanks guys and I have to give credit to GreenHell as his awesome build inspired mine. Thanks

I'm just bought a roller and am going to build mine similar to yours and race it this winter. Can you share your shock spring, oil and piston setup?

Well I haven't run it just yet. I'm still waiting on my shorty lipos to come in and the body to arrive. But what I have started with is the T4.2 setup for big bores.

Front shocks - 1.6 pistons, 4 .030 limiters inside, 35wt oil, Gray 3.45lb springs with the threaded collar 8mm from the top, ride hight is arms level.

Rear shocks - 1.7 pistons, 2 .030 limiters inside, 35wt oil, Green 2.00lb springs with the threaded collar 8.5mm from the top, ride height is CVD's level.

Depending on how it drives I may switch out the shocks to my spare big bores. Those are setup a little different with the - Front shocks 30wt oil, white 3.30lb springs and 3 .030 limiters inside being the difference. The rear shocks have 1.6 pistons and 27.5wt oil with as the difference.

Excellent. Thanks for the help.

No problem

What gearing are you going to run with that 17.5?

As of right now I'm looking at the final drive ratio of the T4.2 on a 17.5 which is
7.50 - 75t spur and 28t pinion
The closest I could get to that with what I have is a
7.53 with a 87t spur and 26t pinion
Once I run it on the track I will adjust depending on the motor temps.

Sweet build. It looks very nice.

Quick question, what lengths were you able to go with for the Associated titanium turnbuckles? I want to replace my stock ones, but want to make sure of the appropriate lengths as I too want to use RPM ball cups through out, where I can.

Thanks!

They are a set of Factory Team turnbuckles I found for the GT/T2 and T3 part #1280. The 10T stock size are 2.62" and the ones in the set are 2.65" long. Because of that I did have to grind down 1 pair for the rear just slightly on each side to get the right camber.
