Did some more toying with the gtp this weekend. Swapped out the front shocks for a set of revo shocks with the orange springs. I also fooled with the rear shocks and the droop screws to get the rear suspension firmer and with less travel.

Also swapped out the kb 45 10l for a kb 45 8l. Picked up a bit of speed that way. I am also going to try 5s2p a123 instead of the 4s lipo.

Had a slight issue, I destroyed the front diff! Not sure what happened, but the car did a complete front flip at about 40mph, and landed back on the wheels! The ring gear had a few teeth missing and I guess that they locked the diff up and caused the flip. I ordered a few spares today, and should have it on the road again next weekend. I need to put revo shocks on the back, and start to tune it, the orange springs may be too soft.

I also have a new speed project, but that will be for another thread!
