[TDC57]

GREAT JOB Mark..

Nice placement of the ESC.. are you running that bad boy on 4s ???

I beat the crap out of mine on 6 & 8s every chance I get LOL.LOL

Seriously my GR3 is the badest of all my builds, it's tuff as nails and still love it every time I take it out..

Are you using the stock Diff's or did you get Mike's Hybrid diff ?? what kind of lubricant are you using in trans ??

One small suggestion if you don’t mind.. DO THIS TO IT..

Thanks Shaun!

Yes, I am running it on 4s (2 MaxAmps 8000mAh). I have a version 1 Mamba Monster so I am hesitating big time on putting it on 6s. With the Neu being a 1515 1Y/f would I be hitting the esc and the lipos too hard on 6s? I'm not sure.

I bought the Hot Bodies hardened truggy diffs and Revo Hybrid Diff Cases V2 from Mike. So far they have been bombproof and super smooth. I also used 8mm drive cups since the Hot Bodies pinion is 8mm in diameter. In the trans I only used the Associated black grease I had lying around. I'll see how long it lasts. I did put in a hardened steel idler and checked the gear mesh. So far it has been smooth as well.

I like your idea for the slipper. I ended up going with the newer Revo set-up and drilled a hole in the back of the Gorillamaxx transmission cover to accomodate the longer slipper shaft. This allows me to hold the shaft in place while I crank on the slipper nut. I need to race the truck a couple of more times to see how my slipper holds up. If my current slipper eats itself I will look into doing it your way.

Thanks for the encouragement Shaun! With winter coming in the Northeast I'm hoping to get some good video and pics come Spring (come on Spring! LOL).

By the way, your builds are the bomb, literally! Reading the posts on your G3R got me started on mine.

Mark
