...it had started to snow / rain...usually i dont go out in the wet but it was either that or wait days again until everything dried out...So we got a bit muddy...its not the mud that worries me...its the angry wife cleaning up the trail of crap that worries me :o

...4900 4S lipo...ok...i switched to lipo finally...and am very happy...lighter faster stronger...The friggin Bionic Man of RC...Great stuff...not TOTALLY enthused about the mounts but they work, stay cool and are 98% secure...Slight slippage in one...

Homework: Totally encase the packs, get rid of the unsightly velcro...

...Hellfire center diff...At WOT the front would pop up slightly and the front would balloon...Other than that the system worked FLAWLESSLY and was begging for more...Punch was set at 50% and I will probably change that to 60 or 70 next time out...Very easy to control the wheelies and the difference in speed with the front DOWN was impressive...It didnt wheelie much at all...

...the spur is actually a stock esav 60 with a 20t pinion drilled to 5mm...I wasnt totally excited about running 32 pitch but it worked for starters...

...After about 10 minutes of dirty fun the pinion screw left the building, i lost mesh and the pinion snacked on the spur...Its all good...

Homework: Kyosho spur to 46 M1 and a 16t pinion for the time being...Also will stiffen the fluid in the center once i have it out...Still going with plastic spur metal pinion for a while...

...DirtBonz...Hmm...the jury is still out...The sidewall is inherently soft so will fold and give you more chassis roll; hence causing the rear to catch a little more and not be so slidey...they do hookup on pretty much everything though...the Warlock rims are great, sit there and do their job...

Homework: Switch to lighter Kyosho 10 spokes which COULD be asking for trouble...might grab some Aggressors and play with the tread a little; aiming for a more Badlands type of tire...
