If you don't find it I have a spare I can send you, but the rack plate should really be replaced IMO- Tresrey has a nice CF one that is bulletproof.

I'm thinking of getting a 210(my first 2wd buggy) as soon as Tower has them in stock to take advantage of the super saver discount.

What is the preferred Lipo of choice, shorty or standard stick pack? And what capacity Lipo's give a good balance of light weight and decent runtime, 3800/4200 shorties or 5-6k sticks?

Hey guys, I am experiencin some chatter from the rear wheels on steady throttle when lifted off the bench. Never really noticed it before. I checked the hub / cvd assembly replaced bearing and no dice. I am thinking its the outdrive wearing out a bit. Thoughts?

Outdrives or the tires are getting out of balance.

I would check the outer rear wheel bearings.

Check the droop screw. I had it where I left the screw out and it chattered.

Bolisario,
the only way to go it the shorty lipo. Most people dont use one because they dont already have one. But.... if they had one they would never use a full size pack again. It allows for adjustability on the chassis. You can place balance weight where you want. My Venom 3800 60c weighs 7 oz less than my Venom 5000 60c packs. Much happier all the way around.

Murky123 Looks good... Needs some red though!

Kwiski, Getting a new 410?

Alex, hows the sale going?

Konich, HI!

I did replace the bearing and rebuilt my driveshaft. and I have no droop screws installed (more off power steering). I notice it with freshly balanced wheels as well. I think it happens when the outdrive transitions fron the worn part to the non worn part. Let me know what your guys cars do? Thanks
