I DID NOT REALIZE THAT 6S WAS GOING TO BE SO DeSTRUCTIVE !

Updates:
Things broken
Welds on extended steel drive shafts, 5 times
tooth on steel 49 spur gear
Front Diff coller busted
knuckle ball popping out 3 times
Pinion gear coming loose 4 times
Motor coming loose 2 times
Rear shock came off
curb jump collision-- broken body mounts
lost pin in revo shaft
Wheels coming unglued


The car has been very difficult to drive straight once it's reaches over 40mph
so I glued in windows for the rear body as they were cut out from Original owner.
That did the trick along with adding aluminum strips on the bottom of the body also 2 more lower body mounts. total 6
The car now drives straight and is more controllable

cut out vent in front grill and adding tubing to help cool motor/ESC

I took it to the track, hoping to use the track before they closed down and took it apart, but the battery took 1.5 hrs to charge ( charger was hot)
they had already disasemble the track but I drove on the tire marks for a bit, car did much better, then broke the front diff coller that was stock and drilled out to fit the larger losi diff.
A 1/8 nitro racer came over and told me the body is a very poor race body, they just don't well and that my aluminum sway bars need to be steel

Time to make some Aluminum diff collars and steel sway bars


LOOKING FOR Grooved 1/5 tires Please PM mE
