Those piggy-back shocks are awesome!
Oh i hate high-def closeup camera-shots with very good light. These dampers looking much more better than other ones but it is not really much more than shocks from tamiya.

I'm gonna want to put some of them Gmades on my Hummer at some point too. B)
Those really are some great pics (I suspect they live quite up to it)...

After an evil crash

Edou, MR is also running like h*ll with 17T and the 4000 LRP Battery instead of the 1800er Orion...

I'm a big LRP fan. You also have the Challenge motor, right? It's little brother is quite the performer already...
The LRP is the only NiMH I have (the rest is NiCd). Very happy with it. Don't use it a lot but checking every few months at least shows no loss of capacity. Which usually tends to happen quite fast with this type of cells if you keep them unused for a while.

So ... GPM Part:




grinding GPM main shaft. I'm not happy about that.
The front part was stuck in the adapter and the rear part was nearly outside of the adapter. Maybe, the chassis isn't stiff enough for this motor. The MR also made a wheely! I didn't see this ever at a 4wd. Too much power at the rear gear box

Edou, yes, i'm using the LRP 17T Challenge motor.

Has anyone very good knowledge about setting up the mr/topforce suspension and dampers?

I'd try 1 or 2 o-rings in the cup each end to keep the driveshaft in the middle :)

17T is not a hot motor but a middle power motor. I used 11T on the Top Force chassis and no problems. Do you have plastic bathtub chassis or FRP/Carbon one?
If you have the plastic one the problem is the chassis that is rubbish and flex too much. That kind of chassis needs a brace on. A top carbon/FRP radio plate could be a good solution to strength the bathtub and avoid flexes.

Max, I can tell you that 17x2 LRP is particularly powerful. ;)
Estimating it'll blow away many cars that have motors with lesser turns...

Funki, maybe you could get a modified style drive shaft?

How about a one piece driveshaft, seen a carbon one somewhere for the DF/TA chassis. B)
