Dropping a tooth on pinion is not hard. You would loose maybe a mph or 2.
The torque you gain is alot better though. Seems like the motors run cooler
as well though. Cooler motors make them last longer.
IF the brushes are bad in the motors the power will suck.

Sounds like what I might try, dropping a pinion tooth or 2. How do I adjust the slipper? Is it possible the brushes could be bad, I just got it outta the box with only 10 minutes of driving total?

OK, I just ran it on the carpet again and its definately the slipper clutch, not tire spin. In fact if I hold the truck and give it gas the tires stay put while the motors spin so the clutch is way out......from the factory:031: . Im gonna try to firm it up. The manual says it should not slip under acceleration. If thats the case it will pull wheelies like mad.

I made some adjustments to the slipper. It was set way conservative. Tightened it fully and backed it out 5/8's of a turn(manual calls for a 1/4 out) It wheelies now, and in second gear:cool: At least on the carped....its still raining:019:

that goes with about every brushed motor out there.

Hmm thats odd, but i remember running in my basement, i gave mike my revo responces (he was using stock maxx tires) and he started to wheelie like hell!

Tires make a big difference, those stock maxx tires are junk imo.

[Mike.L]

yeah, they weigh soo mutch(stock)..tryed the reponses...WOW!

[coolhandcountry]

ONly 10 minutes of driving i doubt they bad.
If you haven't tighten or check the slipper it is a good possiblity that may be a problem. You don't want to go to tight cause the stock slider to the wheels
well ring off.
The slipper is right under the cover where the motors are. It tells you in the manul on it.

Yep, Raining here too! Better than snow in my opinion.

Its finally stopped raining and I took it out in the driveway. The surface was still wet. I have a mix of asphalt and aggragate. Woohoo, this thing is FUN. Glad I got a wheelie bar! Cant wait to take it in the grass and off road Im sure it will be great.

We have snow now! They are saying 1-4 inches for Chicago. Bummer!

I saw somewhere you can get ski's for the front wheels. 4 sets of artic tracs would be cooler though.

[Procharged5.0]

That would be cool!
