funny. tower's description lists 'Four Mounging Holes'. what's a mounging hole? is that what helps the truck handle better lutach?
waaaaaay too many funny definitions are bubbling in my head. i'll keep 'em there and spare you guys from my lame humor.
If you own a 1/8 scale truggy or buggy you will know the the MOD1 51T spur has Four mounting holes that attachs to the diff casing. It will not allow the front wheel to unload and cause the vehicle to understeer. It will send power to the front and rear equally. The solid center also helps when you get to a corner too fast and you can actually brake deep and use some controlled throttle to help steer the vehicle around the corner. I used to race karts in Brasil and it was a nice trick to learn. It is funny how I can use it in my R/Cs as well.
I got a few questions for you guys, today I ran my truck and noticed that it's cogging really badly in forward AND in reverse, now it only cogs when I barely have the throttle pulled back but it never used to do this so I'm sort of concerned. Another thing I'm noticing is that if I'm going in forward and use the brake and try to go forward again it wont let me until I apply the brakes again.. Anyone know what could be causing this, I'm thinking its a punch control setting and the brake delay setting? I dont have a temp guage yet but the motor was pretty hot maybe 160F or so, the ESC was a little above warm I'd say around 130F or so. Batts were warm to the touch.
Oh yeah and forgot to mention i'm running 14/51 and every time the forward, brake, no forward, brake, then forward thing would happen the esc would have a red blinking light going off then I'd hit the brakes and it would go to yellow and it would drive fine. I seem to have lost my ESC manual so I can't figure out what exactly its doing or how to reprogram it.
