some limiting straps on the front axle will help with the wheelie issue.

I like the wheelie issue. It was the torque twist that I did not like. But now it is not an issue.

For the torque twist thing, you run the ring and pinion the same as the rtr way? Do you need to change the timing on the motor? Swap the switch on the tx for it to run forward?

Also I hit up John at Fubar and he cut me some bead lock rings, and some spacer rings to make sure the tires hold the bead. As always fit and finish on his stuff was perfect. Add in some colored screws and the bling is complete.

I also added rear steer. I really do not think it is worth the hassle. But I have it, so I will keep it for now.

The only real issue I had was torque twist. The extra power was fun for wheelies, but it wanted to almost throw itself over. I know there is lots of voo doo about this and that but I thought there might be a better way to fix the problem instead of band aid the issue. Counter rotating drives shafts are the answer, at least in my opinion.

So far so good. The torque twist is gone. I am excited to try it out in a slow moving comp 2.2s rig.
