my 2 cents worth as a person who owns a pro4 and has tried Ed's SSG. In terms of adjustability the yoko has slightly more adjustable positions which are more convenient for the cambering ( which is not needed for pvc however ), both kits are very responsive, and i think any differences are more due to setting than kit performance, its very hard to tell because our settings aren't similar, using different engines, and even the TX used makes a big difference in performance. though i do get this niggling feeling that the ssg is slightly more responsive, though this may just be bias against my own kit.. always feel gian that others are better that sorta thing. my main complain bout the pro4 is that the carbon upper deck need to unscrew 9 screws to remove, another 6 more screws to remove the graphite gear holder, b4 u can make any changes to ur gear diffs ( same for ur spur ) which is very !@#%^ troublesome. SSG got this really easy access function.. remove 2 screws and u can get ur gear diff out and adjusted easily. On the plus side for Pro4, any parts are very very easily found at Taising. The only part that I couldn't get from Taising was front direct spool, ( they even offered to open one up from the Atsushi Hara edition and sell it to me first ) besides that, u can find all parts needed even if u wanna rebuild ur car from scratch, hopups readily available ( expensive though )

1 piece of advice.. don't get addicted to hop-ups.. once u do.. ur car will start looking more colourful, more aluminium and ur wallet mysteriously loses weight faster than possible with any singaporean slimming centre.

Engine get hot is sure, but depend on how hot it become. All due to the track layout n how u play. Just remember, spend only wen u think is needed. Tat is wat RC drifting gd about. ;D ;D ;D

to all yokomo owners!
at wat height do u set the chasis too? you adjust by using the droop screw? i'm using at 3mm front and 4mm rear.... is this correct?
|

Post by lost on Dec 14, 2006 10:50:57 GMT 7
No no .. ride height shud be adjusted thru the shocks.. not the droop setting ride height is adjusted thru the tension of the spring there.. f u have upgraded ur shocks to adjustable oil shocks.. shud be easier than the stock air shocks in which u need to put spacers

Post by dan on Dec 14, 2006 10:59:24 GMT 7
oh... ok.. so wat r the droop screws used for??? i haven upgrade to oil shocks yet... can i get normal trf shocks? or would the yokomo stage 1 upgrade be a better option?

well, the droop setting can affect, amongst other things, your ride height, in the sense that it affects the maximum ride height you can set. because the bigger the droop, the less your max ride height can be.
there's no "correct" ride height though. as yours is a drift package, i suggest to follow the stock settings and fine-tune from there. one thing you can try though - try out a couple of other yokomos if you can (some at the bukit batok drift meet), see which ones you like in terms of feel/handling, and then replicate their settings (both car and tx) on your car.

last sunday... fendi told me to adjust the droop screw to change the ride height... but now i'm told its not supposed to be like tt.... haha.. how ar?? now i blur liaoz...

Post by sidewaysdriver6 on Dec 14, 2006 23:03:57 GMT 7
(assuming you stick with one shock mount position) you can adjust your ride height with a combination of droop setting, shock collar adjustment, and springs with different tensions etc. fendi is right in that droop settings do affect your ride height - if you screw in your droop screw your ride height will be lowered, and vice versa. because the droop setting affects your max ride height. because the more droop you have (i.e. the more you turn in the droop screw), the lower your chassis will be (i.e. lowering your ride height). this is in the scenario that the combination of spring tension and shock collar position generates enough tension that the droop screw touches the chassis when your car is on the ground. if the droop screw does not touch the chassis when your car is on the ground then adjusting the droop screw won't have any impact on your ride height until you tighten your droop screw enough (or adjust your spring tension) for it to touch the chassis.

i have actually adjusted my droop screw so that the front of my chasis is 3mm while the rear is 4mm... and i still have enuff suspension for the car to ride smoothly... however the car feels weird coz the suspension arms are quite elevated.... will this be ok? i should be getting new suspensions soon i guess.... need to finetune this fella soon....

adjusting ur ride height thru the droop settings will increase ur spring tension, therefore the spring settings u want wud be out dun u think ? when ur car goes into drift dun u find ur car not as smooth and very rigid? U wud need some spring amount of play distance for weight transfer. i wud not advise u to down ur rride height thru droop.. my droop settings are 0 for front and back.. ride height 4.5mm front .. 5.5mm rear. honda kid.. go try out .. the more droop u put .. wad are the effects. the less droop u put .. wad r the effects.. u shud get wad i m sayin in this post have fun

Ok the spring coller is to adjust your ride height, different spring is to have different spring tension, droop screw is to adjust droop.
Ride height at the rear if higher is still ok for now, but u must make sure the front is lower than the rear.
Droop is used to control the amount of weight tranfer to the front and back of the car when u brake and throttle.
