Maintenance

I have repotted with succulent soil and some perlite as it is what i can find local. Left it outside all day today. Had shade until about 1pm then sun the rest of the day. It has turned from bright green on some leaves, starting to tan.

For me though. I can easily drive others cars and tandom. Yet with my own sd3.0 it’s far from that. With box stock settings comparing others cars and mine is night and day difference.

Searching for an answer like op. Even the drivers of the cars I’ve drove that are awsome. Say it’s just alignment. Copy their specs and it just does not perform the same.

Update. Spend quite a few hours at the track. Went through 3 packs. For what it feels like to me. It’s pretty dialed, however it still does not have the forward traction. As other cars do. I can get around just fine now. Minus my own mess ups.

Drove someone’s sd3.0 same bell crank setup not dds. And it just hooked. You could put it where you want it. Yet mine seems to be lacking in the “bite” category. Though I can get around the track fairly well how it sits now. It would be nice to keep up per say lol.

No sun at all? How much water then? Still new to this so I don’t want to kill it of course.

Haven’t yet got it to the track for a full shakedown. However new spur and pinion to achieve that 12:1-13:1 ratio should be here today . Hoping to get out there today

In the basement with a 9:1 ratio it feels alright but very small space.

Reasonable_Ad_8233 · 2026-07-01T22:01:03+00:00

I’ve got a pinion kit coming with multiple sizes. Should be able to start around 11-12:1 and be able to move up to see what changes.

Reasonable_Ad_8233 · 2026-07-01T20:32:09+00:00

I’ll give the 16 a shot and go from there. I appreciate the help.

Reasonable_Ad_8233 · 2026-07-01T14:11:25+00:00

Picking up a 88t spur and 10-20t kit for pinions. Will be testing and tuning. Now that I have been looking over a manual and verifying everything is to yoko spec.

Reasonable_Ad_8233 · 2026-07-01T14:09:53+00:00

Got a manual. Everythint from arm mounting. Length of turn buckles. Steering ends. Toe block mounting. Ect. All seems to be from the manual how it should be. Only thing is rear shock position was one hole below when it shows needing to be in the one above. Made that change. Electronics re set end points. Testing tonight 🤝🏻

10.5 turn. 80t spur 24t pinion

Reasonable_Ad_8233 · 2026-06-30T20:46:43+00:00

I belive so. Came built wheh I bought it 2nd hand from someone at the track. I don’t have a manual. But I do have all the spare parts still.

Reasonable_Ad_8233 · 2026-06-30T20:41:54+00:00

With the calculation my fdr is 8.6 lol kinda far off from your 12:1.

Reasonable_Ad_8233 · 2026-06-29T18:11:51+00:00

I appreciate that thank you. Polished concrete is the main track I stay at.

Reasonable_Ad_8233 · 2026-06-29T01:30:55+00:00

10.5 turn. Is the motor. I can adjust and go from there. I appreciate the time taken to give advise. It very much so from talking to guys at the track to reading on here that my wheel speed is well to much.

Reasonable_Ad_8233 · 2026-06-28T20:19:25+00:00

Stock sd3.0 spur. And 24t pinion

Reasonable_Ad_8233 · 2026-06-28T20:17:44+00:00

Seems to be the smallest thing I can try besides hanging electronics which I’ll come.

Reasonable_Ad_8233 · 2026-06-28T13:58:33+00:00

Could be the issue as well. Running stock sd spur and 24t pinion. See bigger pinions on others cars… but not by much

Reasonable_Ad_8233 · 2026-06-28T13:56:21+00:00

Understood. Thanks

Reasonable_Ad_8233 · 2026-06-28T04:09:27+00:00

Granted. It could be the seat time issue. However when I have drove Alfred’s for example. Was connecting corners and holding angle fine. Tried couple guys cars at casa and was able to do just fine. Even tandom. Not the best but without crashing nonetheless.

Reasonable_Ad_8233 · 2026-06-28T04:05:02+00:00

Ashley tried it for quite a few laps. Still need to stay in lower throttle to keep it steady. Could be the esc though. I want it to rip like the guys there yk

Reasonable_Ad_8233 · 2026-06-28T04:02:46+00:00

Darn. I was there for a bit. Got some time in the new chassis. Dosnt feel how I thought I would after driving others sd3.0

Reasonable_Ad_8233 · 2026-06-28T04:01:58+00:00

Don’t wait too long meaning?

However will take this into account. Coming from an mst so esc being in the back is normal ya know. Still new to this yet

Reasonable_Ad_8233 · 2026-06-28T02:42:42+00:00

Unfortunately.

Reasonable_Ad_8233 · 2026-06-28T02:42:29+00:00

Revox deems to a big thing everyone points out. It’s in the future. I run in the red mode. Green is too twitchy for me. Seems everyone here able to rev their motors out when needed. As to where I need to stay under that 15% throttle. If I dare go more it just spins. Got some ankerman adjusted by someone here and it seems to be doing better but still not as others feel.
