I’m getting into this G Speed FS build and I might need your help plus a quick Mailtime with the Rino 1800kv motor and ESC

Get rid of those front link! You'll be hung up on the skid all the time. You want to be able to slide on your front links. Back may be ok, but you can get some shorter rod ends for the uppers and longer for the lowers to change pinion angle. The shorter the shock, the lower the gravity center.
Nice 👍🏾🔥
I built a gs fs gshot but I went with f10 straight axles…had to order different front upper links but it will climb the wall.
The front links should be shorter and that would have got it at just under 12.5 wheelbase. Give me a measurement for those front lowers and ill see what i have so you can use straight lowers. Those are going to hang up.
Bottom links up front need to be flipped or straight & shorter in my opinion. WB is great.
SOA is much better then 3link. Flex is great if it’s manageable

This is another video that helped me install firmware and flash the rhino esc to make adjustments hope it helps
Articulation is good. There is a point where it’s too much but for the most part it is definitely good to have.
Something you might want to try is some DEEZ shock bands to help keep your shocks from unloading when you don’t want them to if you’re not going to use the Desert Lizards.
I’ve tried G-speed a couple times now and both times I ended up replacing them. Almost any other chassis will offer far more for tuning, shock mounting positions, and customization over G-speed. I’ve had the best results with either Spare Time Hobbies or Corrupt Carbon Works.
Hi. Here is a lot to Diskussion.
1. Portal axles: yes
2. Rear shocks should be layed down to 45 or 50 degrees. Gives more articulation, which is a good thing
3. Front lower links has to be straight and perhaps shortened
4. Wheelbase recommend from 12.3 to 12.5" to your liking (dont know if rules class2 oppose)
5. Rear pinion of axle should be less angled up. Yet a little bit up is good for clearance
6. Servo horn should be shorter. Try a bent steering link. Better would be a servo on axle anyways
7. Rhino esc and motor are great
Keep it up🥳

This guy has been killing it with his videos on the geometry of the matter. Im sure you will have it all dialed in real soon. Looking forward to the new rig and learning from your mistakes along the way! Lol
Can't wait for the AM32 review😊
Get shorter shocks bro. 90mm ideal. 100mm at most
You're a dip switch! 🤣 I believe the key for your links is to make sure they won't get caught up on rocks and such but I only crawl over rocks in my yard so…
you better get to building if your comp is in a week!!
I prefer my wb around 12.5 thats just what i got used to driving.
As far as shocks go i stick too around 80 to 85mm shocks but i also run a king of the south chassis so you can be slammed and still have more clearance over any chassis.
That a brake line bender you're using to bend links?
I'm only 3:41 in, so i could be commenting on something your gonna mention but i do notice that you've got a 3 link in the front but have a SOA setup, i believe 4link for SOA and 3 for CMS. anyways i don't know what i'm talking bout' thank you for the videos between bikes and RC's!
OH SHOOT I'M DUMB!! It looks SOA but i see what you did, haahaa sorry! excited for this build my guy!
