That NGE is still my fav chassis. bought it partially because of this vid. I run mine with very HighCG to compensate my low-value electronics on low trac surface. the dampers are the worst i had so far, friction is a thing here, but i always work with what i got, after a while they work just great. also got the horizontal conversion in the front, it helps a little too. all in all, i love it. aand usukani still comes out with refinements, such as an active toe conversion, maybe will try that too. thanks for the share, hope you still like it. -Daniel.
Either will be awesome! I personally like my NGE a bit more then the rdx, but they are both pretty stellar. I run a rhino dif in both and they definetly eat!
@@ScaleScience that's what am playing with aswell the Ackerman but when you move servo gotta re adjust toe etc slow process lol glad your liking the chassis so underated
Can you guys try the servo,mount for it that places it right in front of the battery tray. I hate how the servo,is right now but not sure if it works well. I guess same with the ifs front suspension
I prefer the direct servo linkage and did on my first PDS too. The secondary location would make my chassis too rear heavy for my liking so I’d say leaving it in stock location, that’s the best design just stay off of the wall. As for the IFS, thy design is fantastic and really make tuning out the front ride height a breeze. Give it a try you shouldn’t be disappointed.
@@ScaleScience ive heard of some peoples diffs blowing in teh nge.mine is leaking what diffs do you know fit. ive heard would like to go with a yokomo diff because im familiar with them. but some people say they dont fit and tamiya ones do.
@@shrillyy1604 if the tamiya dif fits the Yokomo should also fit however ii Rc the tamiya is just a few shims more narrow then the yd’s can be. If your dif is leaking, most often I’ve found it has been overfilled. Take it apart and check your gasket. Clean everything and try again with less fluid. I like to rotate my open dif as I’m adding fluid to pull it into all areas. It’ll help you guage a proper fill line. It’s definetly a finite amount but of the 5-6 I’ve taken apart for people to fix it’s clearly just been an overfill failure. Easy fix!
@@shrillyy1604 forgot to mention over tightening would be the second leading cause I’ve seen to cause a gasket/dif failure and lastly if you need any other input join us on discord or Facebook for great knowledge and wisdom sharing
@@ScaleScience all gears in the correct place. Stripped trans and checked, also no visible marks or damage that I can find that would indicate an issue.. there’s some slop in the outdrive’s/protectors. Waiting on a clsd and yokomo protectors, see if that helps 🤷♂️
@@grantchamberlain2508you should post this on our FB page or discord so we can see or hear the issue first hand. Hard to diag over comments with nothing to look at
@@Bordz_92 put some shims under the front two and mid posts and then inbetween the servo and the mount posts for that. Pictures are online on the Facebook group for the Usukani Brotherhood
@@MrKillerHobbes can’t really go wrong with either at this point! My NGE is still more smooth driving then our RDX but I only have maybe 4-6 packs through the rdx at this point vs like nearly a full year on my NGE
Not sure how you guys run those flat tires on the front. Pretty much everyone at my local track runs AS-01 in the back and mst gold cs-r or fr-f in the front. Curved wheels in a slightly softer compound on the front make the car drive so much nicer
Just needed to tune the car for the flat tires. I actually prefer the flat tires now as I can gain a LOT more contact patch in the areas it’s needed most, and the wheel leaning out on the edge at lock helps push the steering back toward center mechanically which taxes my servo less. I’ve been happier since moving from your setup which I ran myself for years. Keep tuning and finding the edge
I love the content thanks for sharing. I will be doing a complete shake down at Battlegrounds (Team BubbleMilk) of my NGE this week. The only difference is I stuck with the stock shocks. I changed out the guts (RCArt Orings and Yokomo Bladders) and I’m a bit nervous to say but they respond better than my Yokomo big bores IMO. 😅 Sooooo if anyone wants to sell their NGE shocks I would be more than happy to take them off your hands. - Tredizzle
@@ScaleScience yeah I was finding out when I did my research on the PDS MIX/ PDSR/ NGE is everyone ditched the stock shocks. So I was prepared to get a set of Yokomo Big Bores for the easy. Thought I through is some quality components and bam the NGE Big Bores feel beast. I like that you can remove the damper with a o ring so I really wanted to retain that feature.
Mine running on the stock damper. But change the o-ring to yokomo blue o-ring. Chamber 6 front 3 rear. That all it needs . Runs like a beast.
Like the shock o ring? how much does it cost for the yokomo ones?

Still love it Daniel! Look for an update video coming soon!
One of these two will be my next kit. Nice video.
Fun to watch as I’m finishing up my build. I’m going to try out the stock big bores, drilled, black yok bladders and blue orings. We’ll see… 🤔
Legit let us know what you think of the shocks.
How did u fit the reved servo in the Usukani nge
Awesome video! I WANT IT!!🔥🔥🔥
Dam that was fast and glad this video came out 🔥🔥🔥
Can't decide between the nge or the RDX for my next build. I run on low grip epoxy sealed concrete.
Either will be awesome! I personally like my NGE a bit more then the rdx, but they are both pretty stellar. I run a rhino dif in both and they definetly eat!
Looks awesome great footage interested in what your gonna change on the front geometry
Mostly fine tuning Ackerman with a bit more -front camber in drift for front grip and electronics tuning! Should be fun

@@ScaleScience whats the discord. im not active on facebook. the only reason i have it is because of reasources
Do you get any clicking when braking from the diff/trans
Not that I recall
@@ScaleScience damn. Myself and one other guy at my track both have new NGE’s and both have the issue…
@@grantchamberlain2508any slip in the out drive protectors? Make sure that you didn’t mix up the internal idler gears in the trans.

what fan an velocity stack is that
Eagle racing stack, fan is acuvance
What servo did you run?
Reve-D RS-ST
@@ScaleScience how did you fit it

How does it drive out the box vs the rdx? :)
NGE was Better out of the box in my experience. And more hopped up
@@ScaleScience noice
@@MrKillerHobbes can’t really go wrong with either at this point! My NGE is still more smooth driving then our RDX but I only have maybe 4-6 packs through the rdx at this point vs like nearly a full year on my NGE
Which is better SX3 or NGE?
Either is great though the NGE costs significantly less
