... so i took it out for a run this evening.

WOW is all i can say With the lower gearing this thing came alive. Still no wheelies, but SO much power, and all of it useable. Handled awesome as before. Mostly kept all four wheels planted round quick corners and pulled some nice 4 wheel drifts. The MMM ran excellent!!! It was really smooth on startup, no cogging at all, the brakes were perfect and it really delivered the power smoothly through the whole throttle curve. So happy with its performance, my temps after about 15-20mins were

motor 110-120F
ESC 120-130F
batts 80-90F

The fan only came a couple of times, but after i let the truck sit for around 10 seconds it went off and was ready to go again. I'd like to say that the MMM really can handle any motor thrown at it, great job Castle!!!

Heres a vid:



Now for the aftermath, can you spot whats wrong with this pic



The pillowballs screwed out, which made the driveshaft pop out of the cup, and under some hard breaking, sheared the pin









My question is, is there an easy fix for this problem? Can i get the pin out somehow, i was thinking about drilling it out, and then put a drill bit or allen key in. Much like the roll pin mod people do in the 3906 tranny's. Any suggestions, i cant wait to run this thing again!!!

hope you liked the updates
