Re: Vintage AE & I Got 870c Runners!
It looks as though you have the belt tensioner lifting the belt up rather than holding it down. Im pretty sure the back (non toothed side) of the belt is adjusted down by the tensioning wheel.
Also just check that steering link from the servo. It looks like its holding the belt down (rubbing).
Hate to see you get this thing of beauty out for a run only to present some problems for you.

I'm aware of it. I was just setting up the electronics. I have to wait for the center TSC drive from Reg, so all of that will be adjusted once I get it.

Second vote on this.... not that your Yok is democratic.... but you need to hack off those servo ears and move that sucker forward so your linkage lines up.slotcarrod wrote:I can understand why you didn't cut the ears on the servo!

Ha ha, might I remind you of the year 1812?? I know we were under British rule but let's be reasonable... Here's a joke... two Canadians walk into a bar... then your white house is on fire!!!!!! That's it.... that's the joke. Still pretty funny.Charlie don't surf wrote:Where is your sense of adventure? Must be why you guys never start any good wars.

I will probably end up bringing a broken beer bottle to your gun fight
Ya gotta drink first if there is a fight, right?

Re: Vintage AE & I Got 870c Runners!
In all fairness, I still have 2 holes I can move the linkage out on the servo saver. Once I move that back it should line up a bit better.xxxmain wrote:Second vote on this.... not that your Yok is democratic.... but you need to hack off those servo ears and move that sucker forward so your linkage lines up.slotcarrod wrote:I can understand why you didn't cut the ears on the servo!

Americans don't like to talk about 1812!
Any luck on finding low profile saddle lipo's that won't interfere with the body!

I think Reedy makes a couple of packs that might fit. Other than that, I haven't really looked.

Rod, I think those longer white arms would be sweet on this car. I may have to look for a set.

You will need the drive shafts as well, I think?

Re: Vintage AE & I Got 870c Runners!
oh yeah, I could probably find a set. If I could, would you consider letting me use them??? I suppose if I found a set for the rear I would need longer rear drive shafts too? hummslotcarrod wrote:You will need the drive shafts as well, I think?
Just saying, the white arms would be awesome with the paint on this car.
