I have to say after driving it again today with both 2s and 3s lipos to compare them, 3s is just flat out nearly uncontrollable and is really hard on the truck, even with 40% punch control. I may or may not stick with 6S. I'm gonna up punch to 75% and try it again but once those tires start ballooning, control becomes a real issue. I've already notice excessive wear on the dogbones, drive cups and my front right wheel is starting to strip at the hex nut. All this from what I can visually see on the truck without taking it apart on only three 6s runs.

Edit: Holy hell! Upon further inspection one of the dogbone broke pins has broken off and one of the rear diff bearings blew its seal and is a complete mess. My next order at the LHS is gonna be an expensive one, grrr.....

Speed? - 10.11.2010, 10:51 PM

What speed are you geared for? Maybe lower the pinion gear one or two teeth. No doubt that you are still going to have an awful lot of torque to deal with, but you may be able to gain a little bit more control of your wheel spin and handling. Testing testing testing just like the big boys have to do in order to figure out exactly what works and what does not. Once you try a few different setups and tweek everything you will ba able to find exactly what works for you.


SUPERMAXX YOUR LIFE.
