Ok ,Week after week there is a bunch of hard core MT enthusiust that race our local track trying to beat the sub 30sec lap witch was achived by myself some 4 weeks ago with a time of 29.99 :027: Unfortunatly the glory was short lived when a new guy turned up at the track with his custom E Revo
(Paul:aka revo boy) & in the second race of the night produced a freakin awsome lap & killed my time with a 29.94 :035:
Ive gone home that night with my big $$$ UE/gorrilla maxx & my tail between my legs ,hissing & spitting.:025: :025: :025:
So a week or so passes & the slipperential that id order some weeks before turns up on my door step with sub 30 seconds written all over it :017: .The build was easy & fitted in perfectly(Sweet job Mike) with the help from serum's insruction, but it was thursday night before i could finish the install & we race on friday night , this left me no time to test or tune , any way 1st race of the night i finished 2nd against another SM truck with a best time of 31.31 not bad for a 1st time race, but the truck did need a couple of ajustments to compensate for the new motor location,so the batteries were moved to the center of the truck & the front 40 series tires were replaced for the same but with a harder insert to try and stop the front wheels from spinning up like razor blades.( Changing 2 a heavier oil next week)
The second race of the night with six electric monsters on the grid the slipperential showed its worth setting a new lap record of 28.95 only 2 seconds off the 4wd mod state champtions time.
With a bit of luck next week ill get some video footage so you can see for your selfs how well these trucks handle with a slipperential fitted.
Mike 100% happy great product ,are there any other stories like mine would love to here about them especially if you a beating a revo :005:
(btw: sorry 4 the crappy spelling)
NICE!!! and that was pretty funny, shows up with a e revo... wonder if hes on these fourms???? i dont know of anyone that isnt on this fourm that even knows much about e revos.. except out friends that see them, or u tell them about :D
Hopefully the Green Machine will be keeping up soon LOL. (maxd out will know what I mean).
P.S might get a Spectrum DX3 this week.
and I try'd a 16t pinion (13t for racing) on my 14cell pack, on the oval it was VERY fast, like driving a nitro again.
Yep 1 second may not seem like alot but as a veteran racer in monster truck racing & winning state titles & placing 3rd best driver over all, in the state it is very hard to cut a hole second of your average lap time, Mike has produced a product that will place you in the winning circle "the proof is in the pudding",Over the comming months im sure with more testing & tuning you will see faster & faster lap times,
As far as the E Revo is conserned ,i dont see this truck as a theat on our tracks as we run on 100% clay tracks here that are faily smooth surfaces but in the hands of a competent driver it will be a battle. In saying that on a rough surface more like a 1/8 track the revo would be a difficult competitor to catch .Any way play hard & drive like you stole it
New track record, huh. Very Nice! The slipperential probably helped, but you obviously have some driving skills as well! I look forward to the 27 second lap next week! :)
