Sure...lets see, I went to Monster Madness a bit unprepared. Still eating pinions every 3 runs or so...there I had a electonic meltdown...didn't realize it till after the event but I did band-aid it back together and TQ. Had a horrible main (my own fault) and finished 2nd behind Monster Mike... after that race I did some revamping. I bought an "L" shaped motor mount which is WAY better than the boat motor clamp. I swapped out the diffs for the LSP diffs in order to get a 25% reduction in gearing. I ditched the metal spur for one of the Kyosho 46 tooth spurs which Monster Mike sells here. Since all those changes I've run it several times and raced at the "Battery Blast" which was a decent race sponsored by RC Car Action at my local track, Xtreme RC in new Milford. I managed to take down the win at that one. I'm planning to run it again this weekend at the Lou's Half Fast Gas Blast which usually draws some interesting E-Vehicles (including usually Monster Mike's!)
I'm thinking of moving some components around for better weight balance next year, minor tweaks really. I have seen one which had the mechanical brake setup working and that is SUPER slick...I WISH I had brakes so I may try working that into the mix. My notes for anyone taking this on, ditch the steel spur ASAP. Also get a motor mount that is adjustable. Finally, try to incorporate mechanical brakes if possible.
Good luck.
