Best Chassis, etc for a e-revo racer

Here is a vid of a monster gt mbx center diff and 10k oil in it.

thanks for posting the video, as you can see...not impressive with 10K oil. It will pop the front tires in the air and then lose 70% of power by spinning the rest of the time.

I will get video of some track time to clear everything up, and show off some power. :027:

So if your primary goal is to keep the front tires from spinning and wasting power, why dont you just run a transmision or center spool and tape a brick to the front bumper?

I don't think one brick is enough jhautz. You might need a few lead bricks to hold down 2500 watts.

You could always try a torsen center diff. The torsen should keep the front wheels from unloading so much.

sorry, I cant drive and do a controllable wheelie,steer, and video it all at the same time. I have no trouble driving it when not recording it. That was actually the only time its ever flipped over backwards, usually just spins. I figured a video of me showing throttle control and not letting it spin/wheelie would be boring, so I went for full power....my bad guys, I can tone it down next time. :005:

spools break, and break parts. It has a transmission. The diff takes alot of the shock off the driveline. Its perfectly set up for my track and driving style. It wont flip over frontwards when hard braking, and doesnt flip over backwards in normal race conditions. I get max power when I need it, where's the downside?

And coolhand, I wasnt implying the truck in the video was slow, but its clearly wasting alot of power. Experiment with heavier oils before you stick with that, you will be much happier. 10K is rediculous for something like that.
