here is a bash body i painted this weekend

Looks good. Now time to get it dirty!!:027:

:005:

Nice! Looks similar to my old revo, that body lasted 6 runs ;)

i hope this one lasts longer than that! i have a jconcepts body coming too , but that one i decided to let someone else paint

I have to say, even for bashing, the crowd pleaser is a VERY durable body! Took every roll, hit, jump i could throw at it!

yeah i have had good luck with them also, and once i put on the wing i have to throw away bodies just so i can get a new one, lol

Only if they sold seperate wings :p lol

packs are in , went for a spin and it was pretty good, took out the throttle splitter and went with servo mixing so channel three is brake only , any way a few problems, it diffs out the front bad, may need thicker fluid up front, and in diff, or back to no center diff will test more, novak lipo lvc worked good except it cut off and i came in and the packs were at 7.4 each(started at 7.65 didnt charge to begin with) so i switched the splitter and set up the 3rd channel , and went back out because the voltage looked good, ran for 5 more minutes and cut off again, this time one pack(the one with the 4s lvc) was at 5.9 ouch, and the other was at 6.7 so that sucks but im charging the lowest one right now and its going good, charging thru the balancer @ 4amps seems to be charging great (thought id charge at a lower amp till i now im doing it right) but now im going to lower shift point a little and test more tomorrow, but im pretty excited, ive wrote more than usually

will post pics later of the batterys on the truck, but any one have an idea of the diffing out problum, should i put thicker fluid in the front and the center? new to diff tuning and dont know what to do, maybe just go back to no center diff and then ill have reverse

correction on the reverse, i mean i may be locking it in second to be able to have reverse via motor

some new pics of batterys on truck
 

here they are mounted

You don't have to get rid of the center diff if you lock it in 2nd. Try thicker fluid in the center and if the front starts to unload on one side or the other in a turn, the go thicker in the front. Theres a sticky about diff tuning basics.

thanks , i just remembered that i have not changed the diff fluid since it was installed, (ran like 3 gallons thru it) so ill tear it out and put in like what it came with 500k i think , probably doesnt have any left in it, thanks for the help, i still am gonna run it tomorrow anyway, cant resist, goes pretty good, i was impressed, now i just need to get it to stop diffing out and should be cool

just switched to 300k in the center diff, seemed to help some but i think im going to put heavy fluid in front, like 50k (30k now) and get some new hpi road tires, now i got proline cf and they are not belted so that could be a big part of the problem, but anyway just ran it with charged packs and the lvc kicked in at like ten minutes of running, mainly speed runs in short grass, not the best runtime but once i get another set of batterys itll be ok, id say its in the 30 mph range easy maybe more, so far i am pretty impresed with this set up, but then again ive never witnessed high end , plus i have not driven it since thanksgiving so happy to be running

would heavy springs in the rear help any? i have the collars run up all the way and 50wt oil
