It looks to be kind of heavy in the Video. Just curious. Looks like you have a new bouncing baby boy on your hands. Way to go Jordan.

i have got a mate whos a mechanic, so i should have easy access to a hydraulic press. It is a bit of a beast, 14lbs all loaded up. It sure did run well with the MMM V3, time will be the test now i guess, hopefully it doesn't crap out on me after a couple of weeks.

Well considering what you have in there, that is not too bad for weight. Half of that is probably batteries, and motor. All you can hope for is that it holds up until your MGM is returned from the factory. I would have some fun, but nurse it a little bit until you get close to having the MGM back, then run the hell out of the MMM. Then you will have a good comparison going between the two. You can also order those driveshaft pins either from UE, or RCAlloys. I am not sure if Mike has them or not here on RCM. It would not hurt to have a few spares on hand for future issues.

Want more usable power, lock your center diff or go with what I use in my 1/8 scales, the Ofna solid center. I was having similar issues with my 14lbs (Maybe more when I use 5S2P TP Extreme the long ones lol) as it would just unload all the power to the front wheels. I tried different diff oil and went up to 100K and it would still unload. After I installed the solid center, it became just like my 4WD 1/10 scale and drives like it too, but not with the 5S2P lol. I can do wheelies anytime I feel like it. Look at this picture, it's a perfect match for the 1527
