Probably did somethong stupid but.remkved the.weight.in the.front. Might.be too much weight to turn at high speed. Amd it.affects.turning and.braking.

Should a.foff.be balanced or forward.bias and if.so what should it be, 60/40?

you want it bias to the front but only like a 55/45. but u want it to be balanced left and right

[masonis1]

I have it set up.at about that now. Might be around 60/40 when my battery is on the front and esc is in back. I dont know how to keep it side to side?

So... Sv2 came in today. The rig is balanced left to.right, 60/40 front to rear. Gotta say this thing is badass. Pulls wheelies and rides them, torque twist is back tho and worse than ever.

Also, i.have a steering problem. Of i was in nascar id be fine, i steer left hard. I can barely turn around in a two way street turning right. please help!?

the wheel nuts are coming lose after i run this now. Fast. How can i.keep them tight longer without tightening them all the way.down and binding the system.

Everything is lasting to all the power. Played with.it for about 45 minutes today and everything was like warm but.not outrageous

Now, found an old guy.. Not really old... 45 hah i was kidding. But he saw this and was amazed.. Wanted me to look at this. I want yall to help.
Only thing.i.really noticed was it said lincoln locker on the front and rear axle, it is a moa, and looks xheap. Help me.

Video of the foff is at my... Youtube.com/user/masonis1

looks really good bud. one thing i would try to reuduce torgue twist is to upright your shocks more. make some extentions that run off the stock chassis that will upright the shocks better. if u do that put some touring car or like 70 mm shocks on there. it will deffintlu make it still crawlable but it will be more stable on road. if u want to get a set of proline street fighters and mount them on there traxxas offset split six beadlock wheels. maybe even put some gmade 13mm wideners on there to make it more stable.

[masonis1]

I will make the shock mount. I dont plane on runninf onroad, just couldnt go out to the trails where i would hill.climb and atuff. Ill take it out when i go mpuntain biking.

Put the 19t in. Went to test.and it has torque, a lot still but the speed seems to.be arpund.the same. I have been using the lipo a lot, maybe starting to.go.into cutoff. I accidently left the.lipo plugged in all noght to the esc. Plug into the charge. Battery.is at 3.6 volts per cell. Maybe? i dont think.its possible to have all torque and then loose speed.while going up teeth!. well i noticed even in the.short time, stays cool in grass and dirt. After a minute on asphalt popping the throttle, it started gettibg warm. Now.i know to stay off.

the battery was starting to get low on charger as a 2s battery fully chargred should be at 8.4v. if u have to for when u run on grass and dirt you could go up another 2 or three 3 teeth. for us short course guys u gear tille you get hot then back off a tooth. as long as u dont go over 180* then u can gear up a lot. but if u get it to run at 140* consitetly then u will be geared and running perfect like that.

[masonis1]

Now is the temp for both esc and motor or what? if it was that for both im fine.

Just tested. Got a video. Ran for bout 20 minutes. Hard came back took temp. 156-172 on motor. Tranny came in at 170 on the aluminun plate.and the tranny feela hot. But it did that with the 55t in too. I.think the creeper tranny just runs hot.
Esc ran 172. power was good. I might want to put a fan on the esc. and the motor and esc stayed cool in the grass. But again i love seeing the.tt wheelies.

[venomcrawlerdud]

and this was with the 19t pinion??? man if your esc was at 172 then your going to fry that thing if u keep running like how u did. the motor is also getting up there in heat. you may want to try going down 1 tooth on the pinion

[masonis1]

Ill go and get a 18t and 17t and try those.
