Superbe !!!

COMING IN FEBRUARY

Model Rectifier Corporation and Team Academy, the 4WD specialists, are excited to announce the U.S.A. release of Academy Racing's newest entry into the 4WD off-road racing world, The SBV2 "PRO". This buggy sports a similar design to the original V2 but with even more features that have launched Academy into the top spot at many US tracks. The SBV2 "PRO" has all of the Academy option parts originally offered for the V2, all in one package! The SBV2 "PRO" will provide rock solid performance and driver satisfaction from start to finish. Based on reactions from Team Academy drivers and the press at the iHobby Expo, MRC/Academy has designed a winner that is showing very well in local, regional and national races throughout the country.

Features Include:

"Academy SB-V2 PRO will be available tomorrow on Feb 27th"

Or

I'm glad I found this forum. I picked up a sbv2 pro for a song last fall from a song from hot head who likes running 1/8 scale because he doesn't have to touch it (as a mechanic). Although he wins when his wife slips something and nobody seems to know what, into his coffee. Well, my inexpensive foray into 4wd turned into an obsession. Of course I could not find any up to date info on the sbv2, and so, relied on good old fashioned scientific method to figure out what works. After a almost a whole winter of testing and driving a contemporaries b44 and against during races, I settled on some ideas for tuning. Since the b44 is the car to beat right now, I figured I should develop a system for making an sbv2 handle like a b44. Now here it is and it may be a reach for some v2 drivers to make all these changes, but bear with me, this is a setup I developed entirely independantly and without external input (except for the old forum mod of cutting the steering linkage to increase throw versus, the newer, grinding away the gear box).

I don't know why but it works.

front

shock pos, inside hole middle height, dgty dsgns cf shock tower (From the

transmission, linear)

shock pos, outside hole (from the transmission), A arm

Tie rod, outside middle, dgty dsgns cf shock tower (from the transmission

linear)

Blue ASC spring

ACD 2hole (sort of the larger holed piston) one hole Super glued

30wt ASC oil

One ASC 1/16 spacer in both front dampers (Limits droop)

rear (after studying the B44 rear geometry)

shock pos, 2nd from inside hole (from transmission), ACD tower

Shock pos, inside hole (from transmission), A arm

(now here is where it gets different)

Short A arm configuration.

tie rod on yoke, Outside (from transmition)

tie rod up and to Outside (from transmition, linear)

Rough and loose.

ASC #3 piston.

20wt asc oil.

White ACD spring (perhaps ASC green or golds if your brave).

RH Doesn't matter really how high (go for the best for your track) however, 1-2mm less in the rear is good to give more rear lateral bite.

Smooth and Grippy, big jumps with nice long down side landings.

ASC #3 piston

25wt ASC oil

Silver ASC spring

RH A little less than you would go on the rough and loose track (go for the best for your track) however, 1-2mm less in the rear is good to give more rear lateral bite.

(I am going to do a High grip experiment tomorrow but I don't think the 25wt will change however the spring rate may)

If you are lucky enough to have TrackPower 4900 lipo (Bling Bling edition [which is what I run and so, for consistency sake]) velcroed to your battery stay. Move the center brace to the forward position. Add 2 and 3/4 ounces of lead in the drive line mounted against the center brace from the rear. This gives the v2 similar rotational characteristics of a b44. Now, swing around turns and blast out of corners such that a bat out of hell looks slow.

I run a 7.5 and like a, sort of, loose slipper since the ACD slipper seems to grab more as RPMs increase, but you may be running the typical 6.5 and above which could require differing slipper adjustments and lighter weight loads since your speedo runs hotter.

If you are skeptical, My name is Rudi Johnson, just look at the Hobby talk Vienna indoor thread and look at last weekend's results. The bottom line is, would I have known about this thread and shimmed my rear tranny with two shims instead of one (not on the case side, Newland), I would have won. Point being, Before these setup changes and thought input, victor Yancor routinely sailed away with his xx4WE along with the b44s, confortably pulling 5" per lap and consistently winning an extra lap. Basically I appear, out of no where, in the point series; in second place (even after catastrophic failure on the thirtieth lap).

I don't mean to be abrupt, but, the v2 is like a blank slate. I mean, that day I put down 100 plus laps and did not brake a thing (practice, qualifying and mains). During that time I must have bounced off the tubing three times in the hair pin, really fast (no new A arms reported). This car should be unbeatable, let's make it happen?

ps, I noticed this car had a tendancy to spinout (severly at times) under some circumstances, mostly during medium acceleration in loose and tight conditions upon initial shock compression from a jump landing, in the flats and idling after heavy acceleration on a rough straight away. My goal was to rid the car of this weakness, one to which the b44 is not vulnerable.

sorry for the length, I get carried away.

ASC = Associated

ACD = Academy

Linear = As little change in camber as possible, over suspension throw

voila j ai fait l accisition d un academy SB sport V2 et jaimerai savoir si quelqu un connais un site ou l ont peut acheter des option et diversses pieces a prix reduit bien sur lol

merci pour vos futures reponsses
