After breaking 4 of the stock plastic sliders and stripping out the rear differential, it was time for upgrades.
I blew a tire off the rim also.
I've broken a few turnbuckles too, from hitting things. That was really my fault.
The rear diff gave up after about 30 packs or so. Upon disassembly, teeth were missing off the pinion, thus the ring gear had something to chew on.
Driveshafts were replaced with Traxxas CVD's and both diffs were replaced with RCM Revo Diffs. The 1/8 scale versions. Ofna Mutilator cups were used for output shafts.
Now, it will handle whatever I wanna throw at it. At least I'm hoping it does.
Soon, the Medusa 36-60-2000kv will be upgraded to a 70mm version. Then later a Castle Neu 2200kv will take its place.
