I haven't used the MMM for a long time and I have never run the 2200kv motor.

The way I tune my brakes is I start off with more than is needed. Then I dial out brakes until I can just lock up the wheels when hitting full brake at the end if the fastest straight. That's all the brake I need and it makes for a very controlable setup for me.

I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...

Once they get used to it, I think most people like ESC/Motor brakes much better than the old mechanical brakes.

Looks good. Dont get to hung up on the paint for the stock shell. Its pretty much lasts about 2 race days before it falls apart anyway. Thin and light for racing, but not very durable in my experience.

I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...

Thanks Mike!! Glad to hear Xray is treating you well.

I didnt race buggy. Raced 4wd SC as my 2nd class. I had TQ in that class too. But finished 2nd in the main. Made some dumb mistakes and got myself into trouble and couldnt make it up. But considering I was at a bachelor party the night before and I was hung way over I guess I cant complain. I was pretty happy. Best driving Ive done in a while.
