We went out and ran our trucks this morning. It seems to have become a daily occurrence for us, kind of part of our daily routine I forgot how nimble and fast that E-Revo was, even running on 4S. I gotta give it that, it's fast, corners really well, jumps nice and leveled, tracks straight on hard accelerations. I don't know of another MT suspension that works as well. It's a racer, so it's also a bit fragile for the kind of bashing I do. From the sound I heard at the end of the first lipo set, I am pretty sure that I stripped the rear pinion and ring gear. Sheesh! I should change my name to diffkiller.

There's one thing I noticed when I was swapping stuff from the LST to the ERBE. One of the rear wheels has the hex rounded a bit. Not enough to keep from securing the wheel but enough for the hex to spin inside the wheel when gunning the throttle. This might explain why my LST wouldn't track straight under hard accelerations and maybe why I have been blowing rear diffs so often.


No brain, no headaches.
