I did, it's working, but I suggest to steal power directly from battery instead loading more loads on BEC and ESC wire. Another reason is 5V ( BEC Volt output ) vs 7.2V ( battery )

Alright fellas the day is finally here and I figured I'll hit up my Yokomo brethen - Gotta make room, have too much stuff and since I haven't touched the BD all winter it's the first to go Oh well ... I'll post pics and descriptions later but just so you know it's a 3mm lower/upper deck car. To be continued...

running on carpet with rubber my car is very good . got a very good setup. just came back from meeting after qualifying in A final 7 secs in front of everyone. only fault is under very slow corners such as 180 etc it wants to swap ends. not as if im going into fast either. goes into the corner fine then mid corner wooop back end goes. any idea what would cause this.. the car spot on everywhere else check tweak etc all spot on.

Default REAR SLIDE

my BD does the same also, I can sometimes control a semi-power slide with it at other times it just want to kick out. Wish i could make it stick like some of the the other carpet cars, but other than that the car is flawless.

Have you tried different tires in the rear?


JayBee,
Killer car body, got to give ya props on that color scheme.

Is the MR4TC (non-shaft drive) back in style? Sorry I have been away since August. Last I knew, MR4TC SD was the way that everyone seemed to be going.

I have a couple of MR4TCs that are belt driven, including one SSG, and probably about 700 to 1000 in spare parts (retail price). Worth hanging onto, or is the new MR4TC-BD something way the heck different?

Thanks for any information that will bring me back up to speed!
