Did you follow the instructions properly- the 3 ceramic pads need to be installed in a specific location:

I think your brakes will be better once you install those, though, it may also take some fine tuning & different fluid weights to get back the same brake feeling ( a very different setup compared to a 'solid' centre drive line as it were )...

Second as you can see I bought Mike's battery boxes....but, they don't fit my FLM chassis....anyone else run into this too? They are notched sideways on the trays....I'm not sure what that's for but, I'm assuming it's so the trays drop down into the slats in the FLM chassis...the trays are too wide to fit down in for mine....thoughts? Suggestions?

Which specific trays did you buy? The generic tray option will not fit without mods, you needed to specify during ordering that the trays were for the FLM 3905 chassis, then Mike could have altered the design to fit perfectly ( made to order ). If you're running hardcase lipos though, then trays aren't really needed- just put the packs directly on the chassis and use the velcro straps to hold them in place- they shouldn't slide around due to the recess milled into the chassis for the lipos to snug down into.

I've just run the truck up/down my street (27 degrees out and pitch black...lol...I couldn't wait) but, so far it's really nice...when you start out it's not ballistic like it was before with the transmission. I'm sure I could stand to tighten up the slipper more to obtain more aggressive starts...?
|
You can certainly tighten the slipper, and play with fluid weights to get more aggressive acceleration ( bare in mind the whole idea of the slipperential is to make starts less aggressive & to reduce wheelies & back flips- it's more a design for racing than general bashing, though it works either way ).

What's next for the truck?????

Not really much more you can do, besides maybe a lighting kit for those dark evenings...
