1 second slipperential
 
Ok ,Week after week there is a bunch of hard core MT enthusiust that race our local track trying to beat the sub 30sec lap witch was achived by myself some 4 weeks ago with a time of 29.99 :027: Unfortunatly the glory was short lived when a new guy turned up at the track with his custom E Revo
(Paul:aka revo boy) & in the second race of the night produced a freakin awsome lap & killed my time with a 29.94 :035:
Ive gone home that night with my big $$$ UE/gorrilla maxx & my tail between my legs ,hissing & spitting.:025: :025: :025:
So a week or so passes & the slipperential that id order some weeks before turns up on my door step with sub 30 seconds written all over it :017: .The build was easy & fitted in perfectly(Sweet job Mike) with the help from serum's insruction, but it was thursday night before i could finish the install & we race on friday night , this left me no time to test or tune , any way 1st race of the night i finished 2nd against another SM truck with a best time of 31.31 not bad for a 1st time race, but the truck did need a couple of ajustments to compensate for the new motor location,so the batteries were moved to the center of the truck & the front 40 series tires were replaced for the same but with a harder insert to try and stop the front wheels from spinning up like razor blades.( Changing 2 a heavier oil next week)
The second race of the night with six electric monsters on the grid the slipperential showed its worth setting a new lap record of 28.95 only 2 seconds off the 4wd mod state champtions time.
With a bit of luck next week ill get some video footage so you can see for your selfs how well these trucks handle with a slipperential fitted.
Mike 100% happy great product ,are there any other stories like mine would love to here about them especially if you a beating a revo :005:
(btw: sorry 4 the crappy spelling)

Hopefully the Green Machine will be keeping up soon LOL. (maxd out will know what I mean).
P.S might get a Spectrum DX3 this week.
and I try'd a 16t pinion (13t for racing) on my 14cell pack, on the oval it was VERY fast, like driving a nitro again.

Sounds like you had your share of fun with that slipperential already!

Wicked!

Where's the picture of mine cartwheeling towards the wall at the end of the straight. LOL

Patrick 02.05.2007 05:55 AM

When was that picture taken?

Sylvester 02.05.2007 09:18 AM

Looks like you had some fun! I thought the slipperential would be a great race setup!

jhautz 02.05.2007 12:12 PM

Sounds Awesome!!! That is a great testimonial.

My only question is what happens when the V2 Slipperential for the Revo G2R comes out? :D

jollyjumper 02.05.2007 12:19 PM

sweet, a second faster cuz off the diff.

maxd out 02.05.2007 11:13 PM

Yep 1 second may not seem like alot but as a veteran racer in monster truck racing & winning state titles & placing 3rd best driver over all, in the state it is very hard to cut a hole second of your average lap time, Mike has produced a product that will place you in the winning circle "the proof is in the pudding",Over the comming months im sure with more testing & tuning you will see faster & faster lap times,
As far as the E Revo is conserned ,i dont see this truck as a theat on our tracks as we run on 100% clay tracks here that are faily smooth surfaces but in the hands of a competent driver it will be a battle. In saying that on a rough surface more like a 1/8 track the revo would be a difficult competitor to catch .Any way play hard & drive like you stole it

wow.....the slipperencial has many hidden powers that are just waiting to be unleashed!

New track record, huh. Very Nice! The slipperential probably helped, but you obviously have some driving skills as well! I look forward to the 27 second lap next week! :)
