The whole two wheel drive thing (Sucks).. That or I just cant drive!. But I'm liking the 4x4 a whole lot better at this point.. I do need to drive it with its new wheels and tires to see if it handles any better (?), maybe remove the front sway bar, I don’t know (?) maybe I'm expecting too much from it and just need to appreciate it for what it is (?). I just can’t get it to go straight under full throttle (?) it wants to fish tale out of controller (what up with that) and yes I do have the rear diff locked so it’s possi.

Bottom line is was cheep to buy & build and it's something new to ply with..

Maybe it’s my setup (toe-in / out, etc) (??) just not right at this point.. So any suggestions are more than welcome.. would it be too much trouble to stop by and have you take a look at it and tell me whats wrong (??)

Thanks for your time travis..

P.S.
lets go racing.. when do you have the time ??.

2wd is definitely a whole different ballpark. I started out with 2wd, and still maintain my 2wd RCs, so I'm accustomed to them. Obviously you started out with 4wd, so it's a lot more difficult to transition to 2wd from there.

I would do as others have suggested: pack the diff full of grease to decrease its open-nees, but so you still have some diff action. It could also decrease the chances of the slider shafts popping off the u-joints.

You're more than welcome to bring it in. Other guys there who actually have Slashes will also be able to provide some assistance. I'm working tomorrow (Friday) 1-8.

Racing would be cool, I know OCRC has racing on Sunday and I don't have anything planned yet.
