first impressions

well after 3 tanks a little adjusting and the stinger blowing out this thing is awsome, I can't believe the difference with just the stinger off but it really pepped up. everything is working good no problems with anything but the shock coming apart. I have brought it in after every tank and went over it to check for problems, I have had to retighten and readjust some things but I'm really happy with it so far. I was also pretty pleased during the pre-run checks on the assembly. My radio and servo's are working fine and only drawing down about .2 volts per run. It came with a 2500 instead of a 2000 and charges up around 7.3 at peak and I usually like to run my 6 volts down to about 5.4 or so I think I'm good for about 4 to 5 tanks. I did have some bleed down of fuel last night and think I will put a fuel shut off in line to prevent that. I am a little concerned about the open center diff. is any body having a problem with the gears, are you putting any grease or spray on them

glad your rockin it out. don't worry bought the center gears being opened. don't know of anybody having problems with them. i also would shy away from greasing them as it would just spray off and create a hella mess. had the same problem with the shock cap coming off. i used a small amount of teflon tape as loctite wont work with the oils embedded in the threads

I've never seen a problem to date about anything ruining the center spool because it's open.


My center tranny is like my little pet monster. I feed it crickets and grasshoppers when I catch them while I'm out running. One day my karma is gonna kick me in the ass and I'll catch my finger in there LMAO. That'll be fun explaining to the ER staff why my bloody stump of a finger has grasshopper guts all over it.
