That sucks to hear your ESC crapped out. Not sure if Atomic would warranty it, but maybe check with the store you bought it from. We have had bad units come from the box, but haven't seen any working speed controls fail just yet.

We were testing the new Scorpion motors (pictured in above post) today and thought I burned my ESC as well. Thankfully that was not the case, but the rotor on the motor came unglued I'm surprised the ESC puts up with the abuse so far with this ridiculous motor.




Video/Photo below of our 'test' track before we steam clean the carpet and finalize the barriers.

I know this is the atomic forum but if you are allowed to use foam tires and traction compound (recomended) Than you should also check out the x-power mrx. We have had a few racers try the atomic but in the end the mrx was always faster.

Yep, we use SXT 3.0 on the tires. A couple of the local racers intend to get the MRX soon. It looks like a great option. Just wish it could use a standard electronics setup for those of us who don't want to use ASF.

Going to be running a lexan body on this one, but the battery will barely clear and work with the R8 Autoscale. Perfect side to side balance with the battery and scorpion motor in place.

Also, for those looking for a servo alternative, the airtronics 94800 drops right in with no mods and is $15. Just use the servo horn included with the servo.
Testing today at the local carpet track.

The camber arms? They help make the car feel more neutral, but I think combined with the front toe bar and rear toe in plates is when you get the full benefit. How this suspension is arranged, you gain toe out in the rear when you add camber, and the opposite is true in the front. Currently at 3.0 in the rear and -1 in the front with the pictured camber settings. Next time out I will try more camber in the front to compare.

No it will not, but the advantage of using this is that the toe and camber set up are precise because the screws to attach the toe link and the arm ball link will always go in vertically into the alum knuckle as opposed to the plastic knuckles where the screws sometimes got tilted when screwing down, sometimes having a hard side impact can also make the screws tilt and make the left-right toe and camber uneven.

For the in-out gap, you can shim up the universal shaft using 3x5mm spacers that atomic sold (comes in various thickness from 0.1-0.3mm in the packet) to get rid of the gap. Just dont shim it too tight otherwise the shaft wont rotate freely.
