      what is your biggest motor And can you get the 5780 size motor on tp power for the kraton Maybe take a look at it on the site of tp power and can you say SAPPO on your next video its super funny

    That run was alot better then the first. Shocks look better, might need to touch the throttle when leaving the jumps to stop the nose dive? I'm not sure just a guess. Keep up the great videos

      I dont have a Typhon specifically but I'm looking at this model too, I have a granite 3s and it's ridiculously fast, imo down right uncontrollable on full throttle on just a good 100C battery. I'm probably going to buy a typhon just because of how purely ridiculous the Granite I have is.

  • @letzvisit1661
    @letzvisit1661 3 роки тому

    For speed runs would 60wt oil all around be better in all shocks?

  • @WellingtonIronman
    @WellingtonIronman 3 роки тому

    I reckon you need stronger damping. The front dropping over jumps is happening as the rear shocks compress as they hit the ramp, then they're quickly springing back and 'launching' the rear upwards, at the same time as the front wheels are in the air, causing it to rotate. If you have stronger damping that springing back motion should be reduced. Might also be useful to give it a bit more ride height as you're at minimum height which wont help if it's fully compressed when launching :)

    • @WellingtonIronman
      @WellingtonIronman 3 роки тому

      I read the lc10b5 manual and they recommend 700 in the front and 500 in the back which I think is heavier than what you are running, though it’s hard to convert :)

  • @eskimojoe6564
