Haven't had much time lately with organising the house build and it just won't stop #@%$$#% raining here atm.
Pulled the slipper apart and scuffed the pads and ring. Went for quick drive on a tar road. Slipper was a little better but still not where i wanted it. Truck is also too fast, maybe a little overgeared. ESC gets hotter than the motor but only 10-15c and doesn't get too hot overall. So i have ordered an extra wave spring for the slipper and some lower gearing. Should arrive next week i hope.
Apart from that things seem to be working great. Nps with the diff mount or motor mount thus far. Steering re-arrangement works fine. Truck handles well from the small amount of driving i have done.
Was taking it easy on the tar road run, mostly half throttle stuff. Towards the end i decided to give it some stick to test the drive train. Got it into a slight drift on tar under max throttle (and this was from a rolling start) and let it off a bit too quick. Truck grabbed and eventually flipped and hit the only light pole on the street. Hysterical
. Had my bro and neighbourhood kids watching
. Only broke the top of one shock so i was extremely lucky.
The thing i'm noticing the most about the truck is just how amazingly easy it is to work on compared to a stock Flux. Anything between the TVPs you can unbolt from easy access screws on the outside of the TVPs and take it out without have to remove anything else. Really does makes working on the truck a pleasure.
