thanks, I made the battery tray on an endmill at school. I used white nylon hoping it would take rit dye but it didnt. I will be making another one with black nylon to replace it.

Ah, thats pretty cool. I only wish I had been into r/c when I saw at school & 6th form, had access to loads of great machinery- including a small CNC mill. Damn Im old....

Get new tires and tape them

Nahh, great looking truck!! But the most important : how do you like it?

[racer103]

yea just got some new crimefighters for it. when you say tape them do you mean like put the strips of duct tape on the inside to reduce ballooning? as far as how i like it, it rocks compared to the os big block revo i had. i cant believe the power it has even on 4s. i love how the truggy handles to.

yes....

also, higher center diff fluid will also help w/balooning

[racer103]

any recommendations for diff fluid weights front center and rear for the BL setup?

I would say between 30000 and 50000 front and center, and between 10000 and 20000 rear. Rise up the punch control if you want to reduce wheeling tendency when full throtleling ;)
