How do you inspire an inspiration?

why get the 3.3 chassis?
in MY experience hte 2.5 chassis handels better...well on the race track at least, dunno why the 3.3 chassis is always considered to be supirior.
i reckon the best setup you can have on a nitro revo is a 2.5 chassis and mod it to take a rear break kit and CD!! OMG it goes soo much better than the 3.3 w/ CD and rear brake

so i used the same principle and use a 2.5 chassis and a CD.

guess it's every man to themself.


as for center diff..i run ofna 500k in the yuckey traxxas diff and my temps are ok
i'm geared for 45mph ish on 5s w/ the MMM 2200 combo and after the highest load bashing i can dish up the MMM fan only comes on for about 3 secs and motor never gets to 120.
even after a 30 min main race the whole system is cool (120 max motor).
so i dont think the un-loading CD is causing the issue.

Well I never thought this would happen but my 8th scale center diff failed. The diff cup broke. I think it is my fault because I turned down the cup a little bit for more clearance which I'm sure weakened it. So I replaced it with a new unmodified cup and I went to extremes and put 100k in the diff and will see how I like it.

This is what I did to the cup before. The stock cup on the right and the modified on the left. Not a good idea as the whole center part of the diff cup broke off.
